Does this woman look like Elvis?
Well, maybe not here. But multifaceted performance artist Ildy Lee IS an Elvis impersonator, singer/songwriter, filmmaker, designer…and the list goes on!
At the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, Ildy was on hand to promote renowned writers’ group Southwest Manuscripters and their current anthology, When Words Collide, on which she served as executive editor and project director.

Ildy and her longtime manager Michael Scanlon talked about her many arts-related professions, and Ildy read her award-winning poem, “Moonlight Over Venice”.
