At age 13, Eero Saarinen immigrated from Finland to Bloomfield Hills with his par- ents and attended Cranbrook Academy of Art — which his architect father, Eliel, designed. Eero (shown in the Womb chair he designed) eventually became one of the most iconic architects of the 20th century — and lived an equally fascinating life (his second wife, New York Times art critic Aline Saarinen, voiced by Blythe Danner, was Jewish).
