Now that I'm thinking about it, it's actually probably closer to 20 years, R58. They divorced but never announced it, and they kept appearing together. At some point she went back to "Somers White" but I think NYSD continued calling them Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Farkas. Such a tangled web.

I'll see if I can find it.

R58, this is from 4/11/05 (which, coincidentally, is also the last time Miss White ate solid food):

[quote]The marriage of Somers and Jonathan Farkas has been as much of a riddle as a relationship for some time now. Last week Mr. Farkas swept into the Carlyle for the Literacy Partners Gala kick-off party with Nancy Moonves, the former wife of Leslie Moonves, and the following night we spotted him with another beauty at the Jack Welch book party at The Four Seasons. Friday night, Somers, looking chic and soigné, sans Jonathan, swept into the Mandarin Hotel at the Time Warner complex for the New Yorkers for Children gala benefit.

[quote]“What gives?” many have asked.

[quote]Here is the story, short and succinct: the couple separated quietly but publicly. Both camps tell a different story as to the cause. However, they have been divorced for some time, unknown to the public, as they continued their relationship as “Mr. and Mrs.” fulfilling their roles to each other as promised. For one of them, that became “not enough.” They are now known again as Miss Somers White and Mr. Jonathan Farkas.

R64 Kelly Ripa?? She's sooo South Jersey.

Somers Farkas and Muffie Potter Aston are staples of the NYSD threads.

La Grenouille

To be clear ....

Schmaltzy, in this case means Jewish (so, NOT Brook Astor)

Old-timey mean mid-20th century (so not Bethany Frankie)

And New Yorker means - well, that at least should be obvious (so, not Fred Astaire)

This thread has gone beyond that r143.

You don't have to be Jewish to be schmaltzy though it helps.

Kate Smith is a Philly philly.

Stephen Sondheim

Bernadette Peters

What about me?

Agree with R144. This thread has morphed organically into a type of mourning for a period in NYC history that likely ended mid-March 2020. It was on its last legs and the shutdown and its economic ramifications have probably killed it. Looking back historians will see a weird cultural continuity in NYC history dating from the post-World War II era until March 2020.

Jackie O and Pete Hamill dated in the late 70s, r103. They broke up when Murdoch’s NY Post reprinted his column from 1968 , attacking her for marrying Onassis.

r160 I didn't see Barbara Thorndyke anywhere.

Sandra Bernhard??

Luba Potamkin

Martin Balsam

Mrs. Henry Kravis.

The second one.

These are all terrific, but I think Cindy Adams and Elaine Kaufman are the winners here (female category).

I was staying at a small hotel in London and came down for breakfast.

In the dining room there was this strange looking woman. full show girl make up at 7 a.m.

Until I heard her speak (as everyone in the room could) I didn't realize it was Cindy Adams.

What a frightening gargoyle. And she's still alive. Only in Mayfair kids, only in Mayfair.

R159, Joan and Cindy are reminiscing at R31. Cindy is telling a joke about the ghosts of Dr. Atkins, Joey Adams, and The Original Jazzy Walking into Sardi’s. Joan is talking over her, telling a story about someone’s housekeeper who got warts from wearing white shoes before Memorial Day.

I can't believe Cindy Adams is still alive, she looked like an old lady way back in the 80s. It's like she should be 110 by now.

R226 - that conductor was great, always fun to be on his train - too bad he retired. I was recently on a 1 train with a young African-American conductor who was doing fun, informative announcements - when I got off I walked up to his window and told him he was great at his job, and he reminded me of the other guy. He said that conductor is legendary and thanks me for the compliment.

[quote]To be clear ....

[quote]Schmaltzy, in this case means Jewish (so, NOT Brook Astor)

To be clear, "schmaltzy" is derived from the Yiddish "schmaltz" which means "chicken fat" yet colloquially has been used for a hundred or so years to mean "cheesy", or "excessively sentimental". All Yiddish words do not actually mean "Jewish". Do you look words up, or just assume you know what they mean? Plus, it's quite subjective.

Oh, and it's NOT Brook Astor, in this case her name was Brooke Astor.

[quote]Who wants to live in a New York City with out Barbara Cook or Elaine Stritch? What's the point?

You knew they hated each other, right? Elaine was jealous of Barbara being so talented and always acted horribly to her. Barbara couldn't take Elaine's ridiculous behavior and general nastiness.

The "Take human bites" actress from "Gemini" was Jessica James, who I saw in the James Coco and Victor Garber revival of "Little Me".

Interesting that she's with Danny Kaye.

From some angles Danny Kaye was quite handsome. Kitty was a very pretty woman as well in her time.

"Hey, Danny, stop sleeping with my husband, you hussy!"

[quote]Actress and cat owner Melissa Beth Miller.

My bubelah's gonna be a big star on Broadway! She gonna be the next Barbra Streisand, I'm telling you.

I met Kitty Carlisle Hart at an event in the late 90s and she was a lovely woman.

The time Carlisle-Hart had to break up with Jackie O and stop being her friend because she couldn't afford her anymore.

I love Jackie!

Kitty Carlisle Hart was the ultimate New Yorker. Her absence makes it all a bit less New Yorky.

I worked for her in her apartment twice and she was utterly charming. She hosted a couple fundraisers for Memorial Sloan Kettering, and being invited to Kitty's home was a big hit. She even sang four songs with her accompanist. I recall she sang one each from Lerner & Lowe, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and Jerome Kern, but I forget the exact songs. I should have written them down, but I didn't.

Ouisie Jefferson

Carol Reed

To me Kitty Carlisle Hart personified the whole New York elegant culture world and lifestyle, as if the town was built for her.

Kitty Carlisle Hart was a classy lady from a classy era that no longer exists.

Oh, yeah. People confuse her all the time for the character actress HELEN HANFT. She was great in the movies. She was great off-off-Broadway in "Smoking Newports and Eating French Fries" and she was great the several times I saw her on the No. 11 bus.

R171, was that the Fleming’s Mayfair Hotel? When you mentioned going down for breakfast, it rang a bell. If so I stayed there a year ago this month. Looking back I feel I dodged a bullet.

Have you heard the word of God today?

Has no one mentioned Andy Warhol? He wasn't schmaltzy, but he already seems part of a New York that is definitively gone...

I remember when Andy Warhol died one of the nurses I worked with who came from the Midwest was so bitterly disappointed. “Goddamn it, now I’ll never get to see Andy Warhol! I’ve seen everybody else! I finally saw Woody Allen walking up Park Ave last week and I saw Lou Reed on my way to the salon downtown two weeks ago. Andy was the last one I needed to check off my list!”
