Lee Radziwell Dead at 85

She truly was America's princess!

I wonder if Carol will inherit? Perfect time for her to return to RHNYC.

Good Riddance to the original A Low Vera.

Good riddance.

But what about Lee Radziwill?

Am I still safe?

Wow - once again the DL is ahead of the curve. Lots of discussion about her recently. Can we do the same for Trump?

She's that classy lady that no one really's sure where she's the princess of.

She was on the last pallet of yellow government cheese inherited from Jackie.

Did she leave Carole anything in her will?

So sad! She died without ever reclaiming her rightful throne of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. RIP, our sweet princess.

I believe she has a daughter. Carole was on the outs with her. Well known fact.

What a complicated life.

Perhaps that young chap Steve grande in a jockstrap could rustle up a swan song for her.

She will be missed.

The poor woman is dead and you can't be bothered to spell her name right? Show some respect, bitch!

Did her..

Her first husband was Michael Canfield, the illegitimate son of the gay Duke of Kent...

I always found her to to be more interesting and attractive than Jackie.

How many of you ladies actually know how to pronounce her last name correctly?

Do you think Carole will go to the funeral?

She was just mentioned on the "are there any real socialites thread". Aww, Poor Princess; RIP.

She has a daughter Anna that I know nothing about.

Fun that WWD broke the news...

Word on the street is that Lee and the entire Kennedy clan wanted nothing to do with Carole anymore.

LOL There is no Kennedy family anymore! Wish there was a gay Kennedy though!!

Herbie's waiting.

Herbie hated her

She was a confidante of Capote!

Her tv debut in "Laura".....I tuned in! Is it available? Wasn't Robert Stack in it?

And what about "The Philadelphia Story"?

That was the end of that.

She dated Peter Beard. She knew and socialized with Nureyev, among many, many other fascinating people. That woman lived my dream life.

No grandchildren?

We used to call her 'Turkey Jerky' behind her back.

carole was her daughter in law, not her daughter.

Her son Anthony died young of cancer, I wonder if he and Lee were close or estranged?

She adored dark, uncut sizemeat and HATED RUBBERS!

Ann Slaters gone, now Lee. The era DL love so much is ending with everyone of these socialites who pass on.

R22 can you post that thread please? Thanks.

"They're just a couple of fags"

R39 here you go.

R26 Of course some of the Kennedy’s are gay, just closeted. There are too many of them not for some to be gay. Joe Jr, the one who’s plain went down in WWII was gay, I’m certain of it.

Anthony Radziwill and I both attended and graduated from Boston University's College of Communications. We graduated in in May 1982. BU had a main graduation for the entire school; however, each college within the university had its own separate, smaller graduation--and that's the one that Anthony and I attended. He was an undergrad, and I was a graduate student, but both groups of students graduated together at the smaller, college graduations. Lee, Jackie, Tina, Caroline and John-John sat right in the front row just a few feet away from the graduating students waiting in line before going on stage. There was no security surrounding them. I couldn't take my eyes off the whole family of course focusing on Jackie. They were just like a normal family cheering on Anthony when his name was called. The Radziwill and Kennedy clan had an extraordinary way of just focusing on each other and tuning out everyone surrounding them who were obviously staring at all of them. Anyway, it was all very exciting and added a nice touch of celebrity to my graduation. I am also from Boston, and at the time, Joe Kennedy III and his wife and kids also lived up the street from me. Yes, there were Kennedys all over Boston at the time.

Tina, the daughter?

Ghastly old cow.

R45 = Jackie

I was always the pretty one.

But I had more class.

R44: Yes, Princess Anna Christina (Tina) Radziwill is Lee's daughter and Anthony's sister (and Caroline and John's cousin.) Carole Ann Radziwill was Anthony's wife and currently is on the piece of shit Real Housewives show. (Prince) Anthony died of cancer in 1999 at 40, less than a month after JFK Jr died.

Anna Christina, like her mother, Lee, is also royal: Princess Anna Christina "Tina" Radziwill(18 August 1960) she married Octavio Arancio in September 1999 and they were divorced in 2005.

Thanks for sharing R43. I think my eyes would have been glued to them the whole time too.

Goodnight, Sweet Princess...may you and your beautiful sister enjoy unlimited SNAP benefits for all of eternity.

She was just some rich, over-privileged socialite. Who gives a shit in 2019?

And she treated ME like shit!!!

Rot in HELL, bitch!!!!

That was MY SEAT!!! And MY FILM.

CUNT!!!!!!!!!

That’s not true, r42. Joe was going to marry ME!

As someone who is not rich, or a socialite of any kind. I am actually interested. Who are the people of interest in 2019? There aren't any. The politicians? AOC? Warren? Trump? No thanks. You don't get it.

Meant that for R2^

Vile bitch.

Funny that you hear almost nothing about her daughter, Tina Radziwill.

She really had no grandchildren?

She had Alzheimer's, her mother did too.

goes to heaven, even god calls her Jackie's sister

Always wondered what that funny looking Lee thought of this American Blue Blood

At least she never had to go On Assistance.

Lee wasn't married to Michael Canfield for but a few years, but in those days, women had babies right away. I'm surprised Lee didn't try to get knocked up so she'd have a kid or two with British royal blood. And Canfield died in 1969 at 43 but it seems kept a pretty low profile. The whole thing seems somewhat mysterious.

Born in 1980, I randomly became obsessed with the Donghia furniture company 15 years ago or so - around the time that I bought my second home and actually had the money to furnish it with some decent pieces. Granted, I can only afford "sample sale" prices on these relatively pricey casement pieces, chairs, sofas, Murano lamps, etc. Researching the famous designer who started his namesake company (and sadly passed due to AIDS-related illness) led me to Lee many times. She was actually considered one of the top tier decorators during the late 1970's and early 1980's. Her work wasn't half bad; she was certainly no Angelo Donghia or Michael Taylor - but she had a contemporary look for the time (and one that still holds up today). I honestly didn't know much else about her. I am sure that her publicity (being published in AD and other industry magazines) was partially due to her fame as a socialite, but she deserved recognition nonetheless.

Been waiting all day to see what you cunts would say about her!

She was staunch!

S T A U N C H!

Lee was never considered a top tier decorator. She was hired because she was Jackie's sister. Lee could never be involved in all the tiny details and got bored. Just like her failed acting career, decorating career and whatever else she tried. She was barely adequate at her Armani job, which was basically wearing clothes. Plus she was a cunt. Good riddance Princess.

So you bought your "second home" in your mid-20s? In your dreams, r65. But thanks for playing.

So will the daughter or daughter in law attend the funeral to make usre she's dead. I wonder which one will dance on her grave afterward.

Did her pussy stink?

If Carole has left RHONY, how does she support herself? She can't have inherited much and her "journalism" career was bush league. And the royalities from her attempts at writing have to be long gone.

Joe Kennedy Jr was not gay. He was well-known as a womanizer and borderline rapist who prudent young women steered clear of.

Does Lee have any friends alive?

Lots of "friends" but no friends.

R69, I bought my "second home" after selling my first one you idiot; I did not own two homes. Pretty standard fare for many. Not to mention that my younger sister's friends were buying multiple homes back in the "declared income" era of the early 2000's and they made less than half what I did. It was not hard to do....not at all.

^Methinks you doth protest too much. But nice try.

Please let us know if Susan Dey posts her condolences.

Almost certainly r71.

So... is there any money left behind? And who gets it?

The NYT Obit is mean spirited. Like Lee?

Good. She was a useless cunt.

What about Susan Dey???

We're all hookers, really, aren't we?

Bad hair decade.

The NYT OBIT is nasssssty!

The R-rated version of the "Steel Magnolias" premiere story.

😲😢 Awe that's sad r25 why is that?

Joe Jr, the one who’s plain went down in WWII was gay, I’m certain of it.

Oh Dear! only the plain die young, the plane soar forever

Lee is basically what most DLers want to be. A woman, glamorous, world famous, wealthy, a socialite, and your pick of any man you want.

Oh yeah, and attractive/beautiful etc etc.

R76 I knew what you meant.

i liked Lee

All's Radziwill that ends Radziwill.

I liked Lee, too.

[quote]Lee Radziwill, the free-spirited former princess who shared the qualities of wealth, social status and ambition with her older sister, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, but who struggled as an actor, decorator and writer to share her sister’s aura of success, died on Friday at her home in Manhattan.

Meow!

The NY Times obit:

[quote]In a brief telephone interview for this obituary, Mrs. Radziwill scoffed at the notion that she had had an affair with Mr. Onassis, and insisted that she had “no regrets, none at all,” about her relationship with her sister, which was widely reported to have been strained after Mrs. Kennedy married Mr. Onassis.

Wait, what? I didn't realize that the New York Times has a habit of calling people to interview them for their obituaries.

Yes, meow. R95. "Struggled...as a writer"? Perhaps. But I'd wager a guess that she authored three more books than the Page Six, er, NY Times obit writer.

97 now you know.

We never hear about Lee's daughter, (Princess) Anna Christina, "Tina" the way we occasionally heard about her brother (Prince) Anthony. We only hear about Lee's daughter-in-law, fame whore Real Housewife, Carole. Wikipedia has an Anthony Radziwill page but not a Tina page.

The cousins grew up together, Tina, Anthony, Caroline and John Kennedy. Anthony and John were best friends, and Anthony was John's best man at this wedding. I wonder if Tina and Caroline remained close as well especially now that they are the only two left?

Lee liked to drink her own pee.

Lee hated rhymes.

Cecil Beaton on the Bouvier women: "[Jackie] is still the most photogenic person in the world, infinitely more so than her infinitely more beautiful sister."

I wonder if Lee is burning in Hell?

May I have her unused cartons of Benson & Hedges cigarettes?

"Jackqueline" rhymes with "Queen"

"Lee" rhymes with "Twee"

^Jacqueline

Most homosexuals also pork fish, Mary r73.

I once spilled a small amount of Pepsi on her. I was mortified because I usually only drink Coca - Cola.

I saw a short but appropriate description of her on a FB feed of ex-Armani people: "a very bitter woman with great taste"

Someone get that woman a sandwich!

Was lee really as much of a character as DL makes her out to be? Or is this just DL having fun? I'm curious.

Because if so, she sounds like she was a a real character to be around.

She and Jackie had the worst teeth.

So young . . .

Bye, bitch.

What iirks me is she declared herself a decorator and got lots of press for interiors she did - NONE of which looked anything above conventionally "classy".

Always very kind to HRT.

More of Lee's GROUNDBREAKING vision:

The faces say it all -

Who is going to pay her funeral costs?

There might not get a funeral. Cremation and an ashtray for an urn.

She brought an end to the Radziwell royal line: a dead son and a barren daughter.

Lee Radziwill was always fascinating. Maybe other things too, but always fascinating.

R121, hardly. The Prince had a son from his second marriage, with kids and grandkids now. Money-grubbing Lee didn't end any line. In fact, she was at the back of the line and thought she was at the front.

The Real Lee Radziwill

Talking About Lee

Sofia Coppola, Giambattista Valli and Peter Beard share their favorite moments with Lee Bouvier Radziwill.

I wonder how million$ her NYC apartment will sell for? I also wonder if that's the apartment jackie brought for her. You know the one she did that interview in for Sophia coppala.

Lee's apartment will sell for what it's worth. No one remembers the old hag and if they do they most likely aren't in a position to pay any premium. It's not like when Jackie died and people fought over her place.

[quote]r122 Lee Radziwill was always fascinating

She was no Delilah-Judith

Lee married after the prince. Then divorced. Again. She always kept the Prince's fancy name. This was deplorable pretentious cuntitude.

Yes, I know she married again.

What was the fall-out with Carole Radziwill about? I don't watch reality TV shows, so I know nothing about Carole R. But her Wiki page says that she took really good care of her husband, Lee's son, while he battled cancer. She can't be that bad.

R131 Carole isn't bad at all, these old ass queens just don't like her because she did reality tv.

Plain and simple.

Thanks, R132. That made me laugh.

Lee had aspirations. Toward what, no one could ever really define.

She tried acting, decorating ... then fucking jet set Aristotle Onasis. Until her cunting sister swooped in and took her place.

Wee just wanted t'be WUVVED! Wike us all....

So who was more of the jet setter, Lee or Jackie? They both seem to be the jetset type. But it seems maybe Lee got around a bit more.

Her only claim to fame was her sister.

Which of course she milked for all it was worth - -

If by "jet setting," you mean "who spread her legs on more continents for more wealthy men," yes, that would be Lee, R136.

“I never disliked Jackie, but I hate Lee. I hate her.”

Every now and then I still search for a video of her TV movie version of Laura. It's the Holy Grail of shit acting.

I'm sorry, but I don't even know who this old woman was.

Sounds like she was before my time.

[quote]r140 Every now and then I still search for a video of her TV movie version of Laura. It's the Holy Grail of shit acting.

Useless cunt. Anyone who mourns her loss should be waterboarded.

You say that like it's a bad thing, R138.

R143 And yet here you are. We'll make sure your the first in line.

Ha ha, R145.

America's Last Princess, Princess Carole DiFalco Radziwill (living with Lee's dumpster-rescued sofa) -

^^ is that a man?

She used up all her Le Bouvier money to buy the rights and all existing copies of Laura. She spent her last days trolling YouTube to make sure it was never posted.

I still love Carole. She and Bethany should really make up..TV got in their way.

[quote]r149 She used up all her Le Bouvier money to buy the rights and all existing copies of Laura. She spent her last days trolling YouTube to make sure it was never posted.

What a self absorbed twat.

(Radziwill, not r149)

Ummmm

Yes I would love to see a copy of Laura! I heard the Paley Center in LA has a copy...

I wanna kick this human bodybag right in the cuntbone.

Looks like her decorating tips were, "Scatter fresh flowers in profusion, along with little framed magazine covers of yourself."

It's OK to write about women without calling them cunts and twats, R154.

I remember the Princess decorated a condo across from my parents in Century City. As a gayling, I made my parents take me to the opening. Everyone was laughing at the impracticality. She had orange trees in the living room.

I look really beautiful, there, R147.

Still so young, but I'm growing into my innate sophistication.

[quote] Mrs. Radziwill in her dining room in March 1976, the same year she started her own interior design firm.

Here's another view of her dining room. Even accounting for the times (1976), I don't think it holds up well at all.

Forgot to say that the photo and quote are from the NYT obituary.

[quote] After Mrs. Onassis died in 1994, her will made no material provision for her sister, “for whom I have great affection,” Mrs. Onassis wrote, “because I have already done so in my lifetime.” It left bequests to each of her sister’s children. The disinheritance of Mrs. Radziwill was widely interpreted as another sign of strain between the sisters, whose relationship had captivated the press and public throughout their lives.

That's from the NYT obit.

R158 That room is a frau's vision of heaven come to life.

"For reasons that are well known to her...."

I think that's the apartment she bought after running into financial trouble moving and selling off some great pieces of furniture. This was an attempt to create a garden in the city if I remember, she even added flower boxes to the windows.

I’m 90% sure that’s not actually her dining room R158. I agree that it’s tacky and doesn’t hold up well. I saw that caption in the NYT and I think they got it wrong. I think that is one of the rooms she decorated for that chain of hotels she designed for.

I’ve shared the link earlier, but here’s a really good blog post that shows the interiors of some of her different homes.

It's inexcusible that Jackie left her sister nothing in her will, when she was worth soooooooooo much.

Would it really have hurt so much to be even nominally gracious?

I guess being a total cunt was important to her.

R158 appears to be a show house.

The Persian room on that blog is nice. However, it must have STANK to high heaven of cigarettes. I guess that was part of the atmosphere of the time, and that look.

Lee's milkshake brought all the boys to the yard and their like.....

[quote] r162 "For reasons that are well known to her...."

Evidently the Turkish decor was fabulous for the time, but it was not decorated by the Princess.

I wonder if lee and patricia altschul knew each other. They both basically play the same game. Marrying well and divorcing well.

When you look at patricia, and that grand mansion she lives in on southern charm. I can't help but think, she must've walked away with a shit tone of $$$ when her third husband died. And than he was a billionaire.

I thought Mrs. Radziwill was a very talented interior designer. I loved many of the projects I’ve seen of hers.

That is her dining room in her NYC apartment. I love it and think it stands up quite well. It’s not for everybody but it is for Lee and Jackie’s type of circle.

Another room by Lee Radziwill:

There's nothing WRONG with it, but there's also nothing truly original or even very memorable about it, either.

Rather like the woman herself. Pretty ... and NEXT!

The photo of Lee's apartment @ R173: It's cosmetically appealing, though useless. Just as Lee was.

"Oh look, I picked out a bold chintz that cost $600 a yard..."

Scary, scary Lee....

It's sweet that Lee has now reunited with her dear mother Janet and Jackie. Heaven is a more elegant place--a little bit of Camelot beyond the Pearly Gates.

"Sometimes I just put a big bunch of flowers in a pretty pot, and congratulate myself on my genius. Then I toss a hat on the table, to be artful."

Jackie wouldn't have been caught dead in that tacky dining room of Lee's. Hideous then and now.

It's like her head is six times to big for her body.

One of Lee’s Dining rooms.

Her dining room on the cover of Architectural Digest in 1982.

^^ LOVE the tastefully exposed Levolor blinds!

I wonder if Anthony's will left everything to his wife, Carole, as spouses typically do, or if he left anything to his mother?

The centerpiece Epergne in R181 is beautiful and chic. I guess she once had money for classy things.

R182 those are not Levelor blinds they are wooden shutters that many UES homes still have today.

I actually like all her rooms. I might not want them in my house but they're all very nice.

Lee has a 72 year old gay half brother, Jamie Auchincloss, who was arrested on child pornography charges in 2011.

All I want to know is if she ever got to ride Nureyev's huge cock.

I've never understood why anyone gave a shit about this horrible woman.

She was about as admirable as Leona Helmsley.

And just as attractive.

That hotel chain must have been one of her few decorating clients. Even when Architectural Digest listed her as one of their top 20 decorators ("Decorating for Celebrities", 1980), half of the pics were of her hotel rooms. She was part of an elite group which included Micheal Taylor, Angelo Donghia, Sister Parish, Sally Sirkin Lewis and Mario Buatta. I am not sure that I agree, but many of her rooms were just fine in my book; I have seen far worse. The dining room that R158 shared is particularly bad, but not really indicative of her usual "style". She seemed to prefer simple rugs, parson-style furniture and large, graphic art (a few of these things were somewhat contemporary for the day I think). As for her own homes, that same set of botanical prints seemed to follow her everywhere!

It may well have been the whole source of their break --

^^ was for

[quote]r79 Jackie wouldn't have been caught dead in that tacky dining room of Lee's. Hideous then and now.

LEE IS OUR ANGEL SHE BROUGHT BACK LINK PREVIEWS!

It's admirable she never went the plastic surgery route -

[quote]It's sweet that Lee has now reunited with her dear mother Janet and Jackie.

I think it is well established that the Bouvier sisters had little use for each other and absolutely no use for their miserable mother.

I like those society dames. Lee Radziwill had a good life, but also some tragedy such as the untimely young death of her son. She called JFK "Jack." They were close. She had a fine relationship with her sister even if there were some challenges along the way as there are with most sisters. They vacationed together with their kids in the 70s. Lee married Polish nobility. While the title may not have meant much, her husband was not going to give up his title because in his European circles, those titles mean something. So by default, Lee became a princess. We can put it down, but if her husband has a title, she gets one too through marriage. She went back to using the name Radziwill, but not her title, because that was kids last name. Many women keep the name that their children have. Lee Radziwill be was elegant, classy and chic. She was also surprisingly down to earth. They don't make them her anymore. Now we have no-name celebrities and useless reality television personalities. I happen to like people like Lee Radziwill, Babe Paley, CZ Guest, etc. They add a bit of glamour, class and pizzazz that is missing nowadays. They're interesting and led interesting and fascinating lives.

Bravo R198

Lee was a vile, hated cunt who never accomplished a thing in her life. Hell even her son was defective.

If you read about Lee's behavior at the Steel Magnolia premiere, yes pure class.

And yet, R200, you can't stop posting about her.

I bet they got along just fine. They spent a lot of time together as adults when they could have easily gone their separate ways.

Almost every state visit Jackie went on, whether Jack was with her or not, she wanted Lee with her. Bitch knew how to ride a camel like a lady.

Her son was not "defective."

[quote] Her son was not "defective."

Agree. It sounds like something trump would say about a person with cancer.

There is a slight resemblance Caroline Kennedy has with her aunt, Caroline Lee Bouvier Canfield Radziwill Ross Radziwill.

RIP Princess, you had a dramatic, tragic and interesting life

Leona Helmsley, a kind and generous person who worked for her money fair and square, was persecuted and vilified because she locked horns with the satanist usurers who own the criminal NY Federal Reserve Bank and their private collective agency the criminal IRS/ Hopefully her main persecutor, the psycopath Morgantheau, will soon be burning in Hell.

OMG!! First I heard this!! WWCD? (C=Carole) Pay back Bethenny!! finally!

She had large feet like Jackie.

She bumped me in line to buy cigarettes at a convenience store in Sag Harbor once. She had honey-colored eyes. Short and preternaturally thin. I was quite full of myself afterwards, having been "bumped" by a princesse.

My other Kennedy "connection" is that I worked with JFK Jr. when he interned at the Justice Department one summer. Of course, I noticed what he ate at the cafeteria--pineapple chunks, that's it. He had very big feet and the smallest waist I've ever noticed in a man.

Lee looks like nancy Reagan in the pic at r202

I wonder if Lee could give the blow jobs as well as Nancy? A US President outranks a Polish Prince.

[quote]r205 Almost every state visit Jackie went on, whether Jack was with her or not, she wanted Lee with her.

I imagine it was because as First Lady, JK wanted someone as a companion overseas who was of her class, and wouldn't blab.

It's not like Jackie craved time alone with her sister, it's that the arrangement was convenient ... and put her sister both in her place, and in her debt.

I imagine it must have been hard as hell for someone with a personality like Lee had to play second fiddle to Jackie. She played the first sister role while Jack was in office anyway. So there was that. At least Lee's French was much better than Jackie's though. She'll always have that.

So R68, no passion. Not even pretty. Always felt from that world that she despised herself. No sheer genius, no striking features. Feel her bitter envious soul can finally rest. They'd better sage the place blind, just in case..

.. the negativity lurks in dark corners. Remove fire alarms before commencing the dried herbal blitz.

She didn't want the fraus in America to wear St. Laurent. It was for her.

R76 congratulations but a have-not hoodrat can never conceive the success of others. By others, pretty much everyone..not born to the ghetto.😂

If they couldn't swing it there's NO POSSIBLE WAY a stranger on the interwebs could have managed.😴

The cycle of poverty. Poor R69. Literally poor.😅

Lee really desires that you not talk about the poor in her thread.

r217 shows JK in the suit she was later wearing when the assassination happened.

It's often credited as Chanel, but it was technically by a company that was licensed to reproduce Chanel garments in the U.S.

[quote]According to Justine Picardie's authorized biography of Coco Chanel, Chanel, Her Life, Jackie Kennedy was a Chanel client starting in the 1950s. But after she was slammed in the press for a reported $30,000 Paris spending spree during her husband's Presidential campaign, Mrs. Kennedy couldn't afford to buy Chanel from Chanel and risk more bad press, especially not as First Lady. Too foreign, too spendy. (After the story broke, first in WWD and then picked up by the AP, that the future first lady went on a wild spending spree, Pat Nixon told the Times, "I buy my clothes off the rack and I look for bargains like all other American women.") So, to avoid another gaffe, Picardie says that Mrs. Kennedy "was able to acquire Chanel outfits sewn for her in New York by a dressmaking establishment called Chez Ninon. The garments were not fake or pirated, but made to order using materials supplied by Chanel in Paris."

[quote]"Thus it was," Picardie concludes, "that she came to be wearing a vivid pink Chanel suit (complete with fabric, trim and buttons from 31 Rue Cambon, but fitted at Chez Ninon) on 22nd November 1963, accompanying her husband to Dallas."

R115 agree.

Screams 'LOSER!" Your eye doesn't know where to focus.

PROTO GWYNETH SERIES

Just can't do anything right

R221, yes sir 🤐

LEE Press On Hag!

Lee and Jackie's mom Janet must have had [italic]some[/italic] magical snatch.

How did she bag a series of rich men when she wasn't even particularly attractive?

R117, touch of dwarfism?

Notice how much smaller, slimmer, and more feminine I am than OLDER sis, Jackie, in all of these photos!

I will ALWAYS be the young and pretty one. At least to heterosexual men.

(Of course, the homos are talking about me again, at least. Only thing they're useful for.)

Her first interior, within her Fifth Avenue penthouse in 1964, was her best. But using black, white and red is a pretty fail-safe recipe.

Looking at all her rooms over the years, it seems to me she was particularly attracted to run-of-the-mill tables.

The one that would not be taken for a ride:

Lee was poised to marry hotelier NEWTON COPE in 1979, but he passed when the little lady's lawyers insisted on a pre-nup that gave her $15,000 a month right out of the gate.

He said, “I am not buying a cow or a celebrity the way Onassis did!"

Daughter Tina looks a bit.... trans. To me.

I'm sure she's lovely on the inside.

Here's poor (late) Anthony, mildly embarrassed to be escorting Disco Mom, Lee.

It must have killed her that Jackie's son looked like this

Was Anthony able to attend JFK Jr's funeral, or was he too sick?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R229 The Mark Shaw photo you posted of Lee in the red gown was taken at her London home in 1962. She didn't move back to NYC (and into the Fifth Avenue apartment) until the early 70s after her marriage to Stas ended. And yes, there was a lot of red in the 5th Avenue penthouse, too.

Tina again.

Poor thing. Imagine having weight issues and a mother like Lee....

Of course, Anthony would go on to marry a beauty to rival his mother....

Lee probably never ate a complete meal in her life. She fainted from hunger numerous times, just like Nancy.

"Tina?"

"We've talked before about staying away from satin and other shiny fabrics."

"I don't know what to do with you anymore. Honestly."

Here's Lee, hellbent for leather, with giant stuffed plaything/homo-curiosity, Andre Leon Tally.

Where could they possibly be going, dressed like that?

Emaciated Lee and her "boyfriend," Rudolph Nureyev.

Holy crap look at her painfully bony birdcage chest in R233. R235 Anthony was average-looking. but light years more attractive than his hagsville, buck-tooth, fame-whore wife. For a self-proclaimed "intellectual" she certainly never tires of posting close up pictures of herself in bikinis on social media. Ah well, at least all the pictures of her ass are better than looking at her ugly face!

Lee should have followed Carole's lead and been a Real Housewife.

He was very sick, but he loved his cousin and he attended the burial at sea of the coast of Martha's Vineyard on July 22nd 1999 and the memorial service at St. Thomas Moore in New York the next day. Anthony died on August 10th. R243

How many calories in a cigarette?

Thanks r245

I think he was in a wheelchair on the boat. It was really sad.

I met her a few times- and I got to know Mrs O a bit. My Mom knew Mrs O and liked her a lot. My impression of Lee was that she was not as bright as Mrs O (who was smart and very very nice- funny actually.) I think Lee had some prescription drug problems at different times in her life and she was most definitely not a pal of the Nan/Pat/Annette crowd in NYC high profile socialite world. I really got the impression they did not like her- She was not very nice. She was one of the few "famous" types absolutely forbidden by staff at Andre Oliver (who did tell me Lee had some substance abuse issues) to open a house account. Mrs O had one- paid on time every month. Lee was like the Kennedy sisters- kind of entitled and never paid a bill. I also have never forgotten her "just a couple of fags" comment about Capote and Vidal. Very very few women of her background would ever say anything like that.

You'd be surprised how many bills of the Kennedy sisters Jackie paid. Including a new roof on Ethel's house. Without telling her for years. Ethel thinking the Rose money had come through.

R231. I found this photo of Anna Christina "Tina" Radziwill. Lee's daughter. However your photo of Tina looks nothing like mine. Which one is really Tina?

Your picture is not of Tina Radziwill, Lee's daughter. R251

R252. Okay, I'll go with what you found. But I did find my photo on Pinterest, and it was labeled "Anna Christina Radziwill."

Anyway, I was wondering if Tina and Caroline Kennedy were still friendly. Jackie and Lee's kids were very friendly as kids, and they used to go on vacation together. John and Anthony remained best friends into adulthood. I was wondering if that were the same for Caroline and Tina.

R251 I'm didn't post the pictures of Tina above your post. But that's her. I know the family. Pinterest does get it wrong sometimes.

* I didn't..."

I just found Carole's storefront on Poshmark. The girl does love her some leather.

No takers on the bodysuit with crotch snap?

The unfortunate photo of Tina appears to have been taken when she was a gawky adolescent.

I’m assuming there will be no official cause of death, which strongly causes me to believe she died in an “unsavory” manner, I.e. falling off a toilet and striking her head, as someone upthread or in the other thread theorized.

This also explains why there wasn’t any official news about her death until the next day. They probably had to come up with a game plan, get the body presentable, and clean up any mess caused by the accident.

This is what Lee wore to her son's funeral?

R259, he did die in August, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the women in lightweight black dresses.

R258, Maybe she did the morphine drip thing, like Jackie.

Say what you will about Lee, but she got to have Peter Beard in his prime fuck her endlessly.

Was Peter poor?

Yikes.

What a mess the two of them were.

R259, I agree.

That shabby, dowdy dress is a disgrace. Did not she own anything else black and suitable.?

This says, "I didn't care for my dead son," quite clearly.

R265, It's probably vintage Chanel.

Lee Radziwill and daughter, Anna Christina, 2010

That's not Lee's daughter. R267

Can someone PLEASE post a definitive photo of the daughter with evidence, so we can stop wondering what she actually looks like?

r249, Thanks. That was tasty.

I'm guessing she's ashes already and their will be no service.

R266, vintage from her pre-WW2 period? Lee looks like my cleaning woman.

R240 R237 R231 have posted pictures of Tina Radziwill. ( R251 and R267 did not.)

Tina? When did I do tina?

CBK and Lee.

R271, Here she is attending JFK, Jr.'s memorial service, just weeks prior to her son's funeral.

R265, Here's the dress from a different angle. It was probably sweltering that day. I think she looks fine.

That outfit looks like Armani. The first one was her maid's housecoat.

Has anyone mentioned that dishy Peter Beard dicked her?

Yes, multiple times.

Because apparently it needs to be said.

Also Nureyev had AIDS. Make sure we mention that several times.

Drop in a mention that Jackie O was rumored to have AIDS.

And don't forget, Janet was C.U.N.T. Jackie managed not to be a cunty woman. Lee, sorry, was a pretentious cunt.

Lee would do anal. Jackie didn't.

NYC DLERs, want to attend the wake?

I'll be there, wearing black.

I'll be smoking in her honor.

I'll be there in a dowdy black housedress, condescending towards Carole Radziwill and making fat jokes about Tina.

Is this supposed to be funny? Can someone explain? I mean, who spends hours contributing to a thread and comes up with this? An eight year old, perhaps.

[quote]Did her pussy stink?

[quote]Lee was a vile, hated cunt who never accomplished a thing in her life. Hell even her son was defective.

[quote]I wonder if Lee could give the blow jobs as well as Nancy? A US President outranks a Polish Prince.

[quote]Lee would do anal. Jackie didn't.

First day on DL, R285?

On the contrary, R286. I just can't picture a person who would think - oh, I'm going to share this, it just popped into my head, people will appreciate it.

Thank you R285

[quote]r236 The Mark Shaw photo you posted of Lee in the red gown was taken at her London home in 1962. She didn't move back to NYC (and into the Fifth Avenue apartment) until the early 70s after her marriage to Stas ended.

Thank you : )

De nada R289 : )

R285, it takes less time to make quick posts (hardly hours, barely minutes) than searching and compiling a list. You gave way too much time on your hands, hunty. And Lee is still dead.

R291, what is the idea behind posting comments that debase the conversation? It's not like everything you posted here is gross, most of your comments are, you know, normal.

"Every angle is a good angle on Lee Radzivill. Photo by Andy Warhol."

^ not my misspelling!

From the photos that I have seen - she seemed to be a pretty woman.

All things considered, Lee did Radziwill.

R296, I see what you did there.

Carole Radziwill's article is dull and inelegant.

By the way Lee was never a princess because Radziwill was not a prince when they married. I always considered her pretense to essentially define her.

Carole has a vintage sofa in her apartment that once belonged to Lee.

I don't understand why Jackie was supposed to leave Lee money.

Their mother who was the widow of a Standard Oil heir died only a few years before Jackie.

At that point Jackie and Lee should have inherited a sizable amount of money.

Wasn't the Prince rumored to like the dick?

R302, Lee always lived beyond her means. She would sell paintings, furniture and even clothing when she was in financial need. The prince died in serious debt, leaving nothing behind for his two children with Lee.

He was a commoner, former prince. He didn't even style himself a prince. She re-branded him with a title he gave up. Technicality but not an unimportant one.

But it was an impressive title. Among the gotha. Major history and MAJOR digs across Central Europe. The fact this guy died without money and apparently had comparably little wealth and valuable possessions when he was young and they married, is sad story.

What a fascinating life Lee lived. Jackie too. And their mother Janet as well.

I'd love to see a really well done documentary on the three women. Kinda like what CNN did with the Kennedy's.

I think only the over 50 or over 60 crowd has any reference at all to be fascinated by Early to Mid-Century American social climbing. Jackie Bouvier was born in 1929.

1929 also produced Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Barbara Walters and Anne Frank.

There is a good documentary on Netflix.

We can thank Lee for one thing, the Beales. She flaked out as usual, but thankfully the film makers continued with the project.

Well, R310? The title?

The Auchincloss's have big dick genes.

What part of POINTLESS BITCHERY did lumpen frau R285 not get?

It's hard to believe that May will be 25 years since Jackie died.

R311, Jackie- A Tale of Two Sisters. Unless you mean Grey Gardens, in which case turn in your gay card stat.

I meant the first one, R315. Thanks.

R314 Time flies. But her grandchildren are the same age as me.

When is Lee's funeral?

Funeral on Monday

I'll bet the daughter goes the Jackie route and has an auction of Lee's stuff. Between Eurotrash and the Kardashians, they will be fighting over her crap.

R319, Will half-brother Jamie Auchincloss be there or is he still doing prison time for child porn?

Caroline Lee Bouvier Radziwill

RIP

Caroline Lee Bouvier Canfield Radziwill Ross

I always thought she would have been upset by Carole Radziwill (daughter-in-law) taking part in the "Real Housewives." I checked Carole's Twitter and was surprised to see her posting stuff about what she has for sale on Poshmark (shoes, etc.).

Well Carole learned from the best. Lee (and Jackie) sold clothes most of their lives.

R313 lumpen frau! Using it 🐻

R323 well, Karen Something Something Something Walker to you!

R323. It's...Caroline Lee Bouvier Canfield Radziwill Ross Radziwill.

She went back to using Radziwill as her last name, the same last name as her children. She also couldn't stand being married to Herbert Ross.

Astonished to see some of the items on Poshmark, sold, that I had flipped in a bundle last Spring. The DL just brings it! I clean up and add to these finds. Repair a beaded bag making it better. Add fur trim to cuffs, boots & shoes. Have my own lines as well.

Sitting here procrastinating. Filling orders to be shipped in about 6 hours. Seeing my work hasn't motivated me. Damp. Cold. Alone. Ugh.

Jackie flipped off the rack vêtements and costume bijoux to consignment shops. She would have been a Posher. No doubt.

R307 where there's a Radziwill there's a way.

Herb: How ya doing, Lee?

Lee: Radziwill, Ross, Radziwill.

R329, Any links to your work & designs?

R328, Her niece has reverted back to Caroline Kennedy, dropping Schlossberg.

R334, I never did understand that unusual marriage.

R334, she never used the Schlossberg surname.

Carolines family is famous and iconic. Of course she's sticking with "Kennedy."

It's just like the "Kardashians" they've turned it into a bankable celebrity brand name in pop culture.

You always stick with the $$$ if you have any scence.

R328, she liked Herb Ross enough to marry him. Once she had sold everything he had and milked him for every cent, it was time for her to move on.

R334, Bullshit. She used Schlossberg for years, even on her personal stationery. She only stopped using it fairly recently.

Well since Caroline Kennedy was brought up......Her brief sort of campaign for senate was hysterical. She went on a listening tour upstate. There was footage of her actually running away from people because she was so nervous. She was wearing one of the frau bed quilt coats as it was the middle of winter. It wasn't long after that "listening" tour that she withdrew. It was too bad in the long run. She would have been better than the shrew who got the job.

R339, bull crap, she may have used it personally but she’s been Caroline Kennedy publicly. And what does that button prove btw? It’s not an official button, just something someone made that they though would make a buck. If you go to the site, you’ll see a “Caroline Kennedy for Senate” t-shirt for sale (no Schlossberg).

It's for me. Do you mind darling?

Lee seemed to have tried many things in her life. Did she ever try her hand at politics?

No. Too lazy.

R342 quite a beaver on that gal!

[quote][R334], I never did understand that unusual marriage.

As soon as they got Congress to pardon Leo Frank, Harvey Weinstein started ejaculating on actresses and they started staking out Presidential daughters.

I'm guessing Lee's funeral won't be televised?

No, Rose, it will be on Pay Per View.

Why would they televise her funeral? She never accomplished a thing.

R341, you're wrong. She went by Schlossberg for many years.

You. Are. Wrong. Wrong Wrong Wrong.

I'm trolling.

For anyone fortunate enough to attend Lee's funeral Mass on Monday, this would be proper mourning attire.

R350, YOU are wrong. She has always referred to herself as Caroline Kennedy. Many media outlets chose to call her Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg but she always referred to herself as Caroline Kennedy.

Never on here R333! You've gotta be aware of our obsessive systemic trolls who stalk posters here who intimidate and anger them. Chasing posters around from thread to thread, site to site across the internet. They rarely leave their homes or tend to life norms. What do you think they're doing morning, noon and night? They (sub) exist.

Is this the worst thing worn by a woman? Ever? Anywhere?

lol, r355. And that's just what I did when I saw that. No knock on the designer Rei ( her last name escapes me), but still, wearable art shouldn't be worn.

It's real? I thought it was a funny photoshop?

Rei Kawakubo? That must have been the 80s.

That's the name, r358.

r357. "E" Channel had a Met Gala Red Carpet show. She actually wore that. I was flabbergasted. CK was Ambassador to Japan, so, I guess she got away with it.

A certain woman could wear that dress R355 . But it’s not her. Someone with natural elegance - and better posture in it.

R360 agree. She brings attention to her lack of assets. Donning such a frock is entering into a competition with said garment. Dress wins here.

[quote]"Tina? We've talked before about staying away from satin and other shiny fabrics. I don't know what to do with you anymore. Honestly."

Oh Lee honey, a fat ungrateful daughter...come sit right here by me...we have so much to talk about...

R360, No matter what Caroline wears, she still walks like an injured football player.

362, 363 😂

Paltrow Protoype!😂

1) Capote was right when he said Jackie and Lee were modern day geishas.

2) Many rich/famous women sell their old clothes. Or, "consign" to use a prettier word.

3) Lee was a Grade A cunt but I'm giving her complete slack for what she wore to her son's funeral...it was August and she was coping with the loss of her son (who had been dying for quite some time) as well as the sudden tragic death of her nephew a few weeks earlier. If you're grieving who gives a fuck what other people think about what you're wearing. Also, that "black housecoat" probably was a $2k black housecoat.

R366, Amen.

Exactly, r66, were she dressed and made up impecably people would be saying she didnt care for him. And it was a private funeral, people shouldnt be even taking photos.

Marella Agnelli just died. That makes the third.

Odd -- no photos of the daughter.

Has she made some sort of deal with the press?

My God. Catch ALT at the service: beret, fur lined coat, culottes with monogrammed Uggs.

R372, How did he ever score an invitation?

he has lost a bit of weight?

Figures wicker. Cheap.

[quote]Figures wicker. Cheap.

Not cheap -- Green

Not cheap -- Chic.

R369 I didn't know she died. It must've been recently.

Well, the worms will be done by the weekend.

Why is Lee's daughter, Tina, rarely mentioned?

R380, because she doesn’t lead a life like the Kardashians? Or her sister-in-law Carole? She was at the funeral, there are videos of her walking in the church.

If wicker is good enough for the Duchess of Devonshire and Princess Radziwill, it’s good enough for me.

How were she and Jackie able to pull the wool over peoples eyes to make everyone think that they were beautiful and desirable when they weren’t? The odd bone structure and short faces...man sized heads, hands and feet...nasty bodies...what whyhow?

And those teeth...although, Lee had nicer teeth than Jackie did.

The BITCH has been dead to me since she abandoned Balmain in the mid 60s. Who the fuck did she think she was??

She did a little bit of a reprieve with the wicker.

Some women like Jackie just have "it", even if they aren't classic beauties.

When I saw a news report about the funeral, I thought it said wicker basket and thought, "Well, that would be a nice place to store your ashes instead of some ugly urn."

If you met LR and JO (pun intended) you would right away see the difference. One practically glowed with charm and kindness, the other very much the opposite although I suppose she could turn it on if she wanted to. One was kiss up, kick down, the other treated everyone well and looked them right in the eye when she spoke to them. I leave it to you to decide which was which. Mrs O was a lovely woman, funny, smart, witty, kind, and without pretense if you can believe it. Her sister had none of this on a casual meeting- perhaps as I said, she could 'bring it" when necessary (kiss up). I think the apt comparison is Queen E and her sister Margaret. One had life thrust on her and accepted it with grace (and was no dummy) and the other used the associated fame somewhat selfishly, often complaining and taking advantage of the fame and position.

Imagine this face looking right at you. Yikes!

Has her will been filed yet?

She was a great, great actress...

"Vogue Reports"

Funny!

Does the will automatically become public? I'm kinda ignorant on how these things work.

Someone post a photo of her daughter at the funeral. I haven't found one.

Any hauntings?

R336😂 Not "attractive-in-the-face" type Geishas though. That in itself & that they floated it at any point in time- is the REAL enigma subconsciously attracting people.

R370? Notice even in death this Paltrowesque barnacle rides off the coattails of others?

R372, that shot at R372? by PageSix? Such spite work. But is okay. Understandable.

No talent scrub had it coming😚

Didn't Carole Radziwill fuck musician Chris Botti? She looks like a man, then again, he usually fucks skinny Lollipop Head models.

Please stop posting about the Princess...each new post opens the wound of her loss anew. Some of us are just too raw on this subject. It's not that we will never smile again, it's that we'll never be young again.

Are we absolutely sure she's dead?

I hope the mortician drove a stake through her heart to make sure. Or at 80 pounds, he might have used a bamboo skewer.

Lee’s daughter looks like Laurie Metcalf

Carole Radziwill donates the money from the Poshmark clothing to North shore Animal Shelter 'cuz she loves animals you hateful bitches.

I wish ma would leave me $50 million.

Thanks, R407, been waiting for that to surface.

$50 million? Right. But she never had money.

Tina's living the dream!

Did Lee have total access to the trust established by Janet or were there restrictions?

There must have been restrictions, because Lee spent money like water. Even Janet died relatively poor.

Not even a lousy million to her spinster daughter-in-law Carole?

So does this mean there will be a huge auction of her stuff?

Yes, to even make $5 million. That daughter is ugly AF.

Will her diaries be sold and published?

The "Princess" Diaries???

Lee had no where near $50,000,000. The trust set up by her Mother was originally to benefit both of her daughters and Jackie signed over her share to Lee. The Paris apartment was leased and put up for sale by the owner. Her apartment at 160 East 72nd St was originally the ground floor of a triplex which was recently sold and most likely will be bought by the upstairs neighbor and rejoined.

Exactly. Janet was living in the former servant's quarters at the time of her death.

Jackie was the only one with money.

[quote]and her widowed RHONY daughter-in-law Carole Radziwill were left out of her will entirely...

Ouch!

Woah, Lee had $50 mil. Jesus Christ.

I find it humorous that The Daily Mail and the queens of Data Lounge think they know what Lee Radziwill was or wasn't worth! You've no way of knowing what an individual is worth no matter how famous they are or how many books you've read about them. If you remember correctly, Jackie's true worth was a lot less than her assumed worth, and on the other hand, I was surprised to learn how much Joan Rivers was actually worth. Why should Lee leave money to Carole or Caroline Kennedy? Kennedy hardly needs more money and Carole divulges family secrets to all and sundry on cheap television. Poor Tina, the ugly daughter of a celebrated beauty. Ugly girls of beautiful mothers suffer a lot, but she could have at least had her roots done for the funeral. I imagine mother and daughters' relationship was strained. I can see Lee picking at Tina for being overweight and frumpy. Does anyone else find the law regarding making wills public a gross intrusion of privacy? So Jackie signed her part of their mothers trust over to Lee, now we know what Jackie meant in her own will when she said she had already helped Lee. Why all the pallbearers? A wicket casket with Lee Radziwill in it would have weighed nothing.

Please let this thread die a natural death.

Lee Radziwill was not an interesting person. She deserves no more attention.

Was she good bitch or a bad bitch?

I was THE BITCH thankyou

R422, when someone continually downsizes and sells off valuable possessions at less than market value odds are probably good they need money.

What is the New York estate tax rate?

The top New York estate tax rate is16%. The top rate only applies when the New York taxable estate is over $10,100,000 million. Dollars below that amount are subject to tax at graduated rates, starting at 3.06% for the first $500,000.

r426 proof? Were you there? Did you buy her possessions from her? Have you seen the bill of sale? Or did you read it in a book?

R428, unless you're in her will, why do you care?

Tina Radziwill

Well, this gives the lie to Carole Radziwill's stories of Lee's devotion to her. I'm sure Carole had expectations. And I'm sure Caroline didn't; she has plenty.

I'm sure Janet's trust wasn't remotely enough for Lee to live on--no amount would have been--and that's why she kept selling off possessions. The corpus of the trust is no doubt added to Lee's other realized assets and accounts for the $50 million figure.

Would Lee have approved of a wicker casket?

Sure. She was cremated. Even Lee wouldn't want $8 grand burning up in a crematorium.

The daughter had to go cheap.

so eaten up with jealaosy over her sister Jackie oh, that she had many diseases from the envy

even had a green tinge to her skin at death,

Say what??

That article just takes the $50 million figure from Celebrity New Worth. I've never seen a will that specifies funeral arrangements be paid as soon as possible. Maybe Princess was afraid the daughter would blow through $50 million before paying?

I'm still sad that Lee is gone.

Miss Tina's got some dollas to expend.

R433, Where was it reported Lee was cremated?

I don't recall. But I read it recently, possibly in one of the reports on her will, and I remember thinking that in that case the wicker casket made sense.

Lee's son Anthony was cremated and the ashes were given to his widow Carole.

That casket looks like it was bought at Pier One.

reply 432 you can safely bet a perfectionist like Lee chose the wicker casket.

always intrigues me what famous clothes horses like Lee wear in their caskets. I suppose only a few know the answer and it's vulgar to ask

If Lee had been careful, she would have ended up rich. She sold a Francis Bacon for like $200,000 just before it's value soared into the millions. She also sold her duplex at 969 Fifth Ave for a few hundred thousand which is now worth at least $20,000,000 and she sold an ocean front house in Southampton to Norman Lear's ex wife Francis for under a million which is now worth at least $30,000,000. But she needed the money to piss away on her lifestyle.

Poor Tina

She looks like Rachel Dratch's less attractive sister

[quote]Poor Tina

She may be many things, but poor is not one of them.

Lee was so fashionably thin when she died

They just burned her with a pack of her Benson and Hedges in the bathtub

R445, She would have been stripped of all jewelry and metal before the oven.

Tina will probably be fine with whatever she ends up with from The Princess. She clearly has no interest in clothes, personal grooming or living well.

carole from housewives of ny married the son? does she ever mention it?

I imagine Tina was the type of person Lee would have never given the time of day to had she not been her daughter.

lee lasted a long time, how come her sis got cancer, and she dint?

When Tina was born, there were serious health problems that forced her to remain hospitalized for over a month in a NYC hospital. Lee was not well after the birth and also became anxious and depressed about Tina. Her husband decided to take Lee home to London to get well, leaving Tina in the NYC hospital. Eventually, Tina became well enough to be flown home to be reunited with her mother.

[quote]carole from housewives of ny married the son? does she ever mention it?

OMG, that's the funniest thing I've read in ages!

Carole not only dines out on it - she lives on it

Eventually, Tina became well enough to be flown home to be reunited with her mother.

Clearly, when Lee left her baby in NYC and flew to London, this was the time when someone substituted Rachel Dratch's ugly sister for the Radziwill baby

Carole Radziwill had only a few topics of conversation: she was married to Anthony Radziwill; She was BFFs with JFK Jr. and Carolyn; they all died and she and Lee comforted each other, formed a strong bond, and remained close. I'm not sure what she'll be talking about now that the strong bond has been revealed to be.....not so strong.

You never know what someone’s net worth is. I bet Lee didn’t have a pot to piss in.

When my MIL died suddenly, she was in heavy debt. She lived quite lavishly and everyone assumed she was a very wealthy woman - including her own children. The only thing she had was a double-mortgaged property which will only ever increase in value, so we are bailing it out and keeping it.

When my “poor” mother died, she left a paid-off house, car and a few bank accounts full of cash. Not to mention the enormous stash of cash stashed around the house. She lived extremely frugally and we inherited her considerable legacy.

You never know.

Lee did have a few pits to piss in. She didn't sell everything.

Caroline's daughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, is quite tall. But unfortunately, she inherited none of the Bouvier prettiness from Jackie or Lee, just the horsiness of her mother (and other Kennedy women).

Those beady eyes must be from the Schlossberg side.

Poor thing looks a little bit.... trans.

I think she's quite attractive.

[quote]r382 If wicker is good enough for the Duchess of Devonshire and Princess Radziwill, it’s good enough for me.

I used to have a client who owned some business called Wicker World, or something.

I and a coworker used to call her the Wicker Woman.

In a few months Jackie, Lee, and JFK can play Jeopardy with Alex Trebek.

R461, Daughter Rose Schlossberg is the class act who flipped the bird to the cameras during Teddy's funeral procession.

I had hopes for Rose. When she wasn't much more than a kid she looked like she would be a class act. Now she looks like she doesn't even bother to wash her pussy. Maybe she'll grow out of it.

She's gorgeous.

I really don't give AF what woman does or doesn't wash her pussy. She has 250 million reasons either way.

Lee was, indeed, cremated.

Lee always put on a brave front - but she had outlived so many of her friends and family.

In the words of the immortal Tiffany Haddish, "She ready."

Is there any reason to be so nasty about Tina's appearance? She seems to have led a pretty private life and I can't imagine being Lee's daughter was any fucking picnic.

Tina had it easy.

When she was a teenager, Jackie would constantly berate Caroline about her weight. At one point, she forbid Caroline from drinking soda.

forbade

April Fool!

LOL!!!

Fun Fact: One of Jackie's legs was 1/4" shorter than the other, so she would have one heel enhanced on each new pair of shoes to compensate.

So Lee is what Princess Ann would have been, if Lilibet had fcut off that serpent form the royal purse strings.

Pass. She was only ever "British hot"

Tatiana Schlossberg.... ah well, she's her mother's daughter, after all.

Here's her (somewhat better) engagement photo. As I said earlier, she's ALL Kennedy female and has none of the Bouvier charm.

It's a pity I never had a daughter. Oh, wait...

[Lee was so fashionably thin when she died]

Tatiana looks like a supermodel compared to the Princess' daughter, who could be her father in drag.

[quote] Fun Fact: One of Jackie's legs was 1/4" shorter than the other, so she would have one heel enhanced on each new pair of shoes to compensate.

Was that from speading her legs so much?

[quote] Lee was so fashionably thin when she died

reply 457...I wonder who the real Radziwill baby is?

Tatiana looks exactly like her mother in that engagement photo. There are worse things. Rose is a real beauty.

It’s so heartbreaking that Jacqueline Kennedy did not have the same lifespan as her sister.

r488 jackie would have needed to have had a little work done.

500 posts in, and it finally dawns on me that OP misspelled Radziwill.

Jackie had work done.

R491 WHAT?!?

Yes, she had a good and subtle facelift.

r491 is an insider. Right, r491?

R494, this is not breaking news.

Not in New York, no. But in her early 50s, she had the bare minimum done. Freshened up, as they say.

Jackie had a face lift in 1989, the year she turned 60.

It isn't any kind of news, r495. It's rank speculation.

Nope, about 10 years earlier. It's not speculation.

r470 was Lee a Dame of Malta?

JFK, Jr. always denied that his mother had undergone a face lift and it highly irritated him that people thought she had.

[quote] JFK, Jr. always denied that his mother had undergone a face lift and it highly irritated him that people thought she had.

Bitch let's be real here. Caroline is around the same age as her mother was when she died. Caroline to my knowledge does not smoke five packs of cigarettes a day. Compare their faces and tell me that Jackie didn't get a face lift. Jr. can blow me.

Both sisters were fug. How were they able to fool people into thinking that they were world class beauties?

Rose Kennedy Schlossberg is quite pretty but petite. Tatiana looks like her father.

Rose is the best looking of Caroline Kennedy's children.

That is true r505.

Clearly a big dick on her son Jack

Is there a dick pic?

[quote][Lee was so fashionably thin when she died]

You think Lee was thin before...you should see her now - she is so thin, she is heroin chic

Lee was cremated? They found some fire that wasn't afraid of her?

I bet Tina got a discount. How much could it cost to burn 80 pounds?

Jackie was jowly late 1970's early 1980's. Apparently she had two facelifts, the latter around her 60th birthday and you can clearly see her top eyelids had been done. Lee obviously had her face lifted and eyes done too, at least. I'm sure Jackie would have dabbled in a bit of filler and botox, had she lived, but not to the extreme. I don't think Jackie was adverse to people seeing her with wrinkles, but she would still probably want to look good, unlike Caroline who doesn't care because she;s too academic to care of such fickle things.

Caroline is too ugly to bother. She's known from an early age it would just be a waste of her time. I find her claims of intelligence to be a bit overrated. Every time I've heard her speak she's sound pretty thick.

I love the way you speak of Caroline as if she's actually told you what she knew from an early age.

HI, CAROLINE!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the sad old queen who operates the Lee Radziwill twitter account, I imagine he is a dlounger. There were a lot of naïve people, some famous and celebrated, who believed it was actually Lee using twitter (as if). The surprise these silly fools must have gotten when Lee died and they realised it wasn't her! In any case, the catty remarks attributed to Lee are still posted daily from heaven. Sad.

Link, R516?

Caroline will eventually morph into Aunt Eunice.

Aunt Eunice was a remarkable woman...

r517

Some of the Tweets at R520 are actually pretty funny. But "she" spends too much time discussing the Real Housewives and other really pedestrian crap.

Whatever you say, you can't say the dame didn't have style.

Lee's still dead.

Let's keep talking.

Her, Jack, JFK jr, and Jackie are now playing hearts in heaven.

Doris Duke ended up with about 250 million when her mother croaked in 1962. She had already inherited 100 million as a child. Barbara Hutton took control of her 100 million at 21 in 1933 - almost 2 billion in today's dollars.

Hugh D. Auchincloss was a successful broker in his own right and a Standard Oil heir. I wonder how much Auchincloss loot Janet managed to get. I wonder how much Lee spent down, because Lee never made any money and didn't marry money. Maybe Herb Ross had some money but not big old money. The other two - good names but broke. Lee was lucky Jackie learned well from Janet and married HUGE money - both times!

R526, Hugh did not leave Janet very much at all. She was forced to sell off Hammersmith Farm, piece by piece, ultimately living in what was once the servants' quarters.

Hugh D lost most of his fortune before his death, didn't he r527?

As I remember it, he lost a lot of money for his clients and, being an old school guy, he decided to pay them back from his own money or something like that.

Janet remarried some old sailor or something, someone considered way inappropriate, in her later years, and then left him a widower. The family made sure he got basically nothing from her.

R529, I don't think he was an old sailor, I thought he was an old childhood friend of hers.

Could be, r530, I just remembering reading about it in one of the bios some years ago. I was surprised to see she had remarried. And that she had died not that long before Jackie.

bump

there's got to be more info on the old bitch? There's hardly any out there. When are they selling her things? What did she die from? Ailments? Was she gaga? Stories? Was he relationship with (fugly) Tina estranged?

R531, Jackie had that guy thrown out of the residence and ordered him to stay away from her mother Janet after she discovered that he was abusing her.

[quote]r527 She was forced to sell off Hammersmith Farm, piece by piece, ultimately living in what was once the servants' quarters.

It's not uncommon to downsize in later years. Nancy Lancaster sold her last big house, Haseley Court , with the provision that she could live in several small outbuildings on the property until her death.

Source: Lee Radziwill still dead

The old queen who operates the Lee Radziwill Twitter page really is quite mentally ill. The women's dead, we know you;re not Lee and never have been!

Downsizing because you have no money is not the same as chosing to.

As opposed, r537, to "we know you're not Lee but maybe you once were"?

Doris Duke inherited from her Father who died when she was quite young. She died a Billionaire.

Who are you kidding? Jackie paid him to beat her up.

r539 no, the Lee Radziwill twitter has always been run by an obsessional middle aged queen from the Midwest. He convinced a lot of naïve people that he was the real Lee Radziwill despite the sometimes vulgar things he said in her name. He continues to operate the twitter as Lee from heaven because he is mentally ill.

r540, rather random? You know we're talking about Lee Radziwill, not Doris Duke?

bump: Lee's apartment is for sale, she really was broke, no important furniture or artwork here. But there is a mirror so she could look at herself from her bed.

Do people in NYC still need staff rooms?

R544, That was listed almost as quickly as Barbara Cook's apartment.

[quote]r544 No important furniture or artwork here. But there is a mirror so she could look at herself from her bed.

[bold]#Priorities

Is that building considered "fashionable"?

I wish there were more photos of the apartment. Giving us only two is such a tease!

i wonder where she died? What happened? I wonder if it smells like cigarettes and old lady perfume? Chanel No. 5? Antiseptic? Deep heat and mothballs? Benign decay? What couturier was she buried in?

I guess there wont be an auction like Jackie's

[quote]What couturier was she buried in?

I don't know but Lee is thinner than ever!

She is so chic - all the anorexic NY Society women are simply green with envy

what in the world is wrong with you, r550?

r552 Lee's not thin now, she's dust, she was cremated.

[quote]Lee's not thin now, she's dust, she was cremated.

OMG, she's dust!

I don't know how I'll ever compete with her now - Lee was always so fashion forward!

I’m just getting around to reading the March 2019 version of Harper’s Bazaar and there is an article in it titled “16 Odd Questions for Lee Radziwill.” No mention of her death or anything. Must have been to the printer before they could change it.

The description of the article reads, “This month, the legendary style icon, Capote swan, sister of Jackie, and one of the most alluring women ever turns 86. Here, Radziwill— still elegant with exacting taste and a sardonic wit— tells us a thing or two.”

The article:

Who was the person who had a big influence on you?

The great Renaissance art historian Bernard Berenson, whom I met when I was 18. He created the terms “life-enhancing” and “life-diminishing” to describe people. It’s so true— people are either one or the other.

What person alive today do you most admire?

Myself.

Why?

I think I’ve gotten through an awful lot completely alone.

Which photograph best captures who you are?

The pictures Bert Stern took of me are sensational— he was the best for me, and for Marilyn Monroe.

Who is the sexiest man you’ve ever known?

David Somerset, the late duke of Beaufort. The sexiest and the most elegant.

Did you have an affair with him?

None of your business. Let’s say it was a flirtation.

Which of your homes was your favorite?

I loved each of them while I was there.

Article (con’t.)

What is your favorite spot in your home now?

My bed.

Why?

I designed it, and it’s the perfect length and width. The whole room, including the bed, is fuchsia, my favorite color; and there’s a great picture of me with Andy Warhol over the desk.

What is your favorite place in the world?

The Amalfi Coast.

What is the best trip you ever made?

My first trip to Europe. I went with my sister when I was 18 and she was 22. When we got back we wrote and illustrated a book about it called “One Special Summer.”

What is your favorite book?

WIDE SARGASSO SEA, by Jean Rhys.

What’s your favorite building?

The cathedral in Mantua, Italy. The painting in the dome is breathtaking.

Do you have a secret passion or talent?

Many.

Tell us one.

Painting watercolors.

How much are the uneaten frozen dinners from 1973 worth?

"Who is the sexiest man you’ve ever known?

David Somerset, the late duke of Beaufort. The sexiest and the most elegant."

I'm very surprised she didn’t say Peter Beard.

David Somerset, Duke of Beaufort.

BDF?

This was the pic of the duke included with the article.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The article was written and sent to the printers just before Lee died, ironically she never got to 86. I wonder what she died from if she wasn't expected to die and seemed to have all her marbles is this interview is correct.

She was 85. Perhaps it was natural causes.

I'd like to think Lee went inelegantly, like straining to push a shit out on the toilet and her heart gave out...oh wait, Lee didn't shit because she didn't eat. Perhaps she starved to death? Drunk herself to death?

did anyone not tell Marc Jacobs or Andre Leon Talley (aka the obese king of an African micro nation draped in leopard print) what The Princess Radziwill thought of the gays? ie. Truman Capote and Gore Vidal 'just a couple of fags'

Yeah, R565

After living such a restrained life,

I think Lee decided to go Elvis-style

Sitting on the throne, eating a NuttyBuddy,

Straining far too much, because she over-indulged in her pain pills

Just one more mess for her poor Dominican maid to have to clean

The rumor (hah I think I read it here) was that she fell and bled out before anyone found her.

R568, Seriously doubtful.

I like to thing she was getting some BBC up the ass. It was so big it hit her liver or some other internal and killed her. Right when he was pumping his load into her.

She was getting fisted and had had some crack shoved up her ass when she started showing signs of distress and barfing into her designer leather mask. Her friend, who was known to the police, stayed to administer CPR, but to no avail.

This happens so often, there's really no stigma attached anymore.

Lee's apartment is on the market for $5.7 million dollars. I think tina is trying to sell it fast with it listed at that price.

^^^death taxes and she probably wants to erase all memory of Lee from her life.

R572, The price was dropped a few days ago to $4.9 million.
