Have warm feelings toward Copenhagen’s favorite son, Hans Christian Andersen, and his little tales about lovelorn mermaids and ugly ducklings?

I drove around downtown Los Angeles on a recent Friday morning looking for one of the Civic Center’s ugly ducklings.

In fact, Callas made herself out of what she considered to be an ugly duckling.

"It is an incredibly difficult thing to go from turning that person from an ugly duckling into a swan."

“One can always be the little ugly duckling who sulks in the corner. We know we’ll have lots of those,” the police chief said.
