Two Parts of a ‘Quantum Entanglement’

Marissa Maier, who grew up in a TriBeCa loft in the early ’90s, didn’t have a regular bedtime or even a regular wardrobe. She mostly wore costumes. Her mother, Kathleen Russo, was a talent agent for dancers, actors and writers, and there were always theatrical people coming over for dinner or putting on impromptu performances.

“It was very bohemian,” said Mary Shimkin, a friend of Ms. Russo who had lived in the loft for two years and is now the director of marketing at the Symphony Space, a performing arts organization on the Upper West Side. Even when Ms. Maier was young, Ms. Shimkin said, she seemed more grounded and grown up than the grown-ups. “I remember leaving for work at night and Marissa would be watching ‘Thirtysomething,’ at 7 years old,” she said.
