I love and respect Rosie, says Barbara. We have different “views,” she adds. (gets a laugh; wonder why)

It’s a good thing that Martha is up, to present for Susan Lyne.

Wardrobe alert: Martha great in reddish-brown pantsuit and pumps [...]


Joan Didion only had one “real job,” she says, which she won in college. She worked at Vogue for seven years.
What an ensemble! She’s wearing red lace-ups, black opaques, a checked blazer, and beige scarf…Love the shoes.


Nora Ephron talks about Joan Didion in a seriously backless dress…at their first meeting.
I have never let anything interfere with my first impression of Joan, Nora adds.
