 Clara Wieck Schumann
Clara was the wife of Robert Schumann, and one of the most celebrated performers of the century.
Clara composed variations on themes by Robert and vice versa, and together they created a cycle of song settings of the poet Friedrich Rückert (her Opus 12, his Opus 37).
After Robert's death in 1856, Clara continued an active concert career while supporting a family of eight, and was a champion of the music of Johannes Brahms, with whom she maintained a lifelong relationship.

  Amazon.com: Clara : A Novel: Books: Janice Galloway   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Clara's grappling with the rigidities of historical character and its conjuring of a totally alien milieu--the German music scene of the mid-19th century--are all the more impressive given that Janice Galloway's previous prize-winning novels, The Trick Is to Keep Breathing and Foreign Parts, were much less ambitious in scope, dealing with contemporary lives.
Clara's sturdiness is almost as remarkable as her talent as a pianist and composer; her pregnancies were many and hard (eight children survived); ministering to her husband's mercurial moods, inspiring his creativity and furthering his career required unparalleled devotion.
Clara isn't an easy novel to read, but I'm sure that if the average reader sticks with it, they will be richly rewarded and they will finish having an interesting insight into the life of the wife of one of the world's greatest composers.

 TV ACRES: Advertising Mascots - Clara Peller - "Where's the Beef!" (Wendy's Hamburgers)
Senior citizen actress Clara Peller played a crusty old lady who slapped the counters of neighborhood hamburger joints and loudly asked the probing question "Where's the Beef!", which implied that the only place in town where Ms.Pellar could get a hamburger with an ample portion of "beef" was at Wendy's.
This catch phrase was soon echoed by millions in all sorts of jokes, and merchandising endeavors including T-shirts and underwear.
Unfortunately, when Clara appeared in a Prego Plus Spaghetti sauce commercial saying "I found it!" Wendy's fired her saying "Clara can find the beef only in one place, and that is Wendy's" Two years later, Clara Peller, former manicurist turned TV celebrity, died at the age of 86.
