The characters in the film are named Ted and Audrey after these two. Just remember that the affair involved 4 unhappy people, and, I believe, was NOT something done out of spite. I hate that their reputation is tarnished by how it came to be, but I suppose Que Sera Sera. She allowed rights for his characters to be featured on merchandise (YOU’RE WELCOME SEUSSIANS), because of the profain ones created on the black market that circulated. You’ll see her name 'Audrey Geisel’ on every Seuss movie out these days, usually listed as a producer. It is her special book, and it still means very much to her.Īudrey is the owner of all the rights to Ted’s works. The story she really helped motivate him to finish was The Lorax. She encouraged him to keep writing after Helen’s death. She helped him dress better than he did at his age, and she got him out of the house more and to socialize more with his fans (Ted was very shy around his fans). She was very young, like I said, and That’s really what Ted needed at that point.

BUT WE STILL OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW EVERY SIDE OF THE STORY. Now everyone probably hates Audrey at first for coming between Ted and Helen. They eventually married and stayed married till his death. Audrey stayed at his side and helped him past it all. Ted was so heartbroken over this, and was very unsure what to do at that point. When Helen found out about this she was so distraught that she later committed suicide. It soon came out that Ted was having an affair with their younger married friend, Audrey Stone Dimond.

Their world travels inspired much of his creative appeal.Īfter so MANY years they began to drift apart (to the point of sleeping in separate rooms). They married shortly after and traveled the world together when enough money was earned from Geisel’s advertisement work. Helen saw this and thanks to her he took a great turn in his career to focus on his art. He found the classes murderously boring and drew during his classes. She supported his creativity and discouraged his former majors of being a Doctor of Philosophy and English literature. They were married for many many years and he loved her dearly and she loved him dearly. Seuss ] was married to a lovely woman he met at college in England named 'Helen Palmer’. Or what they do know is just what’s on wikipedia so, here have some bigger info. Seuss and his second wife for which the characters in the film ‘Ted’ and 'Audrey’ are named. So I’ve come to find out that not everyone actually knows about Dr.
