A suite of New York Times articles in homage to the woman who typified living with wit, energy, verve, grace and elegance. On the NYT site there’s an ad for an audio slide show that calls her “a role model for 60 years,” and I certainly agree. I recently rewatched The Philadelphia Story, which I love. Although as the confessed lover of period drama that I am, I must put in a good word for The Lion in Winter.
