The well-known prima donna Bella Mysell
this week spoke from the heart to a reporter from the
"Forward." It was several days after the sad news of her
father's death on arrival in Los Angeles. It was difficult
on the heart because Mysell loved her father very much and
was connected to him. In recent years he lived with her, and
she attended to him like a child. And when he was
three-thousand miles from her, a guest of his only son, he
suddenly died.
"It was if he did not want us to suffer
the terrible pain of his death," the daughter said, "and I
was not near him in the last minutes of his life ..."
It is true, Mysell tells, that her
father in recent years of his life was miserable. This was
because his colleagues, who played with him, rarely found a
free hour to visit him and Hyman Meisel longed for them.
""But my father never suffered, never.
We carried him in our arms," says the young actress.
When she said, "We," she meant her
brother the lawyer, her husband Alexander Olshanetsky, and
herself. The three worried about Hyman Meisel and made it
easier for him in the last years of his life, when the
illness that paralyzed him prevented him from acting.
