Phemie

Phemie
A diminutive of the female given name Euphemia.

I was named Euphemia, after my mothers mother. A terrible name, such as nobody has nowadays. At home they called me Phemie, but when I started to work, I called myself Fame. My husband, Dan Casey, called me Fame. Then in a bar of the Shamrock Hotel, years later, after my divorce, when I was going out, a man said to me, "Fame, Ive been meaning to ask you, just what is it that you are famous for?"
