	Roald Dahl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dahl was rescued and taken to a first-aid post in Mersah Matruh, where he regained consciousness (but not his sight), and was then taken by train to the Royal Navy hospital in Alexandria.
		Tessa's daughter and inspiration for the "helpmate" character in The BFG is model and author Sophie Dahl.
		Dahl's works for children are usually told from the point of view of a child, typically involve adult villains, usually women, who hate and mistreat children, and feature at least one "good" adult to counteract the villain(s).

	Observer \| Lock up your daughters
		Tessa Dahl, mother of another supermodel, Sophie, was also seen in the press recently, moping about an incident at a dinner party.
		Dahl was being chatted up by two men (one in his fifties, one in his sixties), until they learned whose mum she was, whereupon they instantly began drooling about Sophie instead.
		Maybe Dahl should realise, in the throes of her supermodel-daughter angst, that all mothers believe their daughters to be the most beautiful in the world.

	The List: Tessa Dahl
		Dahl, when she was an important young star in Hollywood, she had a famously rumored affair with Gary Cooper that almost (but not quite) ended in his divorcing his wife Rocky.
		In 1988, Roald Dahl left her for a woman with whom, unbeknownst to her, he was having a long affair, and whom he later married.
		Tessa, who is very outgoing, friendly and charming, even fascinating company (as you might imagine), is thoroughly British in her speech, spoken in a sometimes low, sometimes husky, silken voice and that bubbly champagne accent that sounds so upperclass or just plain theatrical to these American ears.

	The New Yorker: PRINTABLES
		Dahl once said that adults should get down on their knees for a week, in order to remember what it’s like to live in a world in which the people with all the power literally loom over you.
		Tessa Dahl has observed of her father, “When in 1983 he wrote, in ‘The Witches,’ ‘It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like as long as somebody loves you,’ he was a changing writer.
		Dahl’s attunement to the aggressive labors of civilizing a child is no longer fashionable; it smacks of generational conflict, Oedipal struggles, and the grim days when children had to eat all the food on their plates, even if it was liver and onions.

		At first she had been sceptical, but the family had been keen to have a permanent archive for his manuscripts, letters and photographs and now that the centre was finished, she was sure her husband would not have found it boring.
		Dahl's daughter, Tessa, accompanied by her 11-year-old son Ned, credited the revival of interest in her father's work to the boom in children's literature sparked by such contemporary children's authors as Jacqueline Wilson and JK Rowling.
		Then aged 14, Dahl was described by his English literature teacher as "a persistent muddler" who tended to write and say "the opposite of what he means".

		First, she has pedigree: her grandfather is Roald Dahl, her mother the writer Tessa Dahl.
		Dahl's first book is just out and she is already working on a second.
		Couple these with the fact that, as a child, Sophie was moved from school to school (10 in total) by her nomadic mother before being taken to India to live on an ashram, and you have fertile ground for some cod psychology: Sophie Dahl the tragic loner.

		And, as grandchild of author Roald Dahl and Oscar-winning actor Patricia Neal, and daughter of the writer Tessa Dahl ("the Family Thing", as she calls it), the lecture was not unexpected.

		Dahl says she wrote it for women, though she hopes men will also find it charming.

	The Man with the Dancing Eyes by Sophie Dahl \| PopMatters Book Review
		Dahl's grandfather is none other than Roald Dahl, who's quirky outlook on life and devilish sense of humor gave the world Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits and James and the Giant Peach.
		Dahl's protagonist is Pierre, a sweet girl living on a London houseboat who spends her days working in a used bookstore and dreaming about the perfect love.
		Dahl's story is excruciatingly simple, so much so that she has been mocked for her undeveloped characters and tired plot.

		Even after the art director has bleached her skin to a uniform, corpse-like alabaster and fudged her nipples with the airbrush, Miss Dahl still lives and breathes - unlike the elegant pipecleaners who present a more remote and, consequently, far less threatening version of female sexuality.
		Her mother, the socialite Tessa Dahl, was just 20 when her daughter was born, the product of a relationship with Julian Holloway, an actor.
		The problems came to a head a year later when her mother ended up in bed with one of Sophie's male friends, an episode Tessa later confessed to a journalist.

		Johnny also makes a point of hanging out and spying on the household of Rhodha's eccentric, irascible sister, Cara (Patricia Neal), who shares her house with her son Porgie (Ron Applegate) and his trashy wife Yolanda (Gale Garnett) (who Carla snaps at constantly, spitting out such acid-bon-bons as, "Don't call me Mother, you lazy fart!").
		Also living in the house is Cara's strange, child-like daughter, Celia (Tessa Dahl, the real life daughter of Neal and author Roald Dahl, and Mother of the famous English model Sophie Dahl); who seemingly takes pity on the similarly aged Johnny and hides him away in the house.
		The veteran actresses who play the estranged sisters with a dark link in their past stand out, as does Dahl, whose character veers between little girl playfulness and unbridled lavaciousness (she can't resist spying on her next door neighbour having sex with his mistress) and tries to seduce an appalled Johnny.
