Scott) whose tragic love story with a soldier was the subject of the movie "Soldier's Girl". I don't know about IRL, but in the movie, she was often called
Callie. I don't know her motivation for picking the name, but it likely was for the character from the book. Or
Caesar's wife. :b
Correction: I just looked her up, and she spells it Calpernia. :-/
