Description

pp. 272, “Eighty-six-year-old Betty Halbreich is a true original. A tough broad who could have stepped straight out of Stephen Sondheim?s repertoire, she has spent nearly forty years as the legendary personal shopper at Bergdorf Goodman, where she works with socialites, stars, and ordinary women off the street. She has helped many find their true selves through clothes, frank advice, and her own brand of wisdom. She is trusted by the most discriminating persons?including Hollywood?s top stylists?to tell them what looks best. But Halbreich?s personal transformation from a cosseted young girl to a fearless truth teller is the greatest makeover of her career.”
