the inside info...


photo Bea Decter is a homemaker who lives in West Orange, New Jersey. She's been a loyal viewer of EGG since 1999. "I've been a fan of EGG for years!" says Bea. "I don't think I will have to watch all of them to pick my favorite!"

From the EGG episode "The Voice" Decter selected a segment featuing Juan Diego Florez, the newest star tenor at New York's Metropolitan Opera. "My father had the most beautiful voice," she says. "He felt that God had given him a gift. He appreciated what he had and so did this singer."

From "Giving Up the Ghost," Decter selected a segment on photographer Sally Mann whose recent projects centered on the subject of death -- the last taboo. Mann's pictures of the bones of her dead dog really hit a chord with Bea Decter.

Finally, Decter selected Andy Goldsworthy purposefully interweaves impermanence into his artworks by using natural materials, often at the very place where he finds them. Goldsworthy appears in the episode "The Mysteries of Life Explained for You."
