- [Explaining how she got her family nickname, "Beanie"] My given name is Elizabeth, and I had a British nanny for the first five years of my life. Elizabeth was the name of the girl she used to nanny in England. She was from England-the queen, you know, there are a lot of Elizabeths in England-and Elizabeanie was what their family called the girl she used to nanny. And so she started calling me Elizabeanie, and I have two older brothers, and they're like, "Let's just call her Beanie! Let's just call her Beanie." And like, if you call a dog Spot but its name is Spike, it's just gonna respond to Spot, so I just always responded to Beanie. Since I was like, two years old, it was just exclusively Beanie. And I think it was, as we say in Yiddish, bashert, which means "meant to be," because it really fits me and I love it. I couldn't be more thankful for it. I think it's great.
