A Story Lately Told (29 page)

Special gratitude to the many people who played a part in persuading me to share my story. In particular, Mitch Glazer for championing me all along; Graydon Carter, whose encouragement helped me decide to begin writing; Boaty Boatwright for keeping me under her wings; Lillian Ross for her advice, love, and bolstering emails; Betty Bacall for believing in me since the day I was born; Susan Forristal for the gift of her friendship from our early days of modeling to this day, and forever; Jane and Jimmy Buffett for providing a safe haven where I was able to work on the manuscript; and Joan Buck, who was my best friend at eight years old and remains a sister to this day—thank you for opening your archives, sharing the memories, and keeping me on track.

Very special thanks to my wonderful friends for your kindness,
your constancy, and your steadfast support, and for making the world a better place. And to the Lynch family and everyone back home in Ireland, and of course Lizzie Spender and Emily Young.

My appreciation to Paper Mate
^®
for their brilliant Sharp-writer #2, which allowed me to write this book by hand. To Stephen Dane, Terry Richardson, Tim Jenkins, Jaqueth Hutchinson, the Avedon Foundation, Paul Jasmin, my cousin Lynn LaMoine, Robert Fleischauer, and everyone who contributed to the photography on these pages.

Profound gratitude to my fine editor, the wonderful Bill Whitworth, who afforded me some important revelations, and in these few months taught me more about the English language than I ever learned in school. To my publisher, Nan Graham, a woman of boundless energy, focus, and intelligence. And to her team at Scribner—Daniel Burgess, Kara Watson, Tal Goretsky, Erich Hobbing, Katie Rizzo, and Kate Lloyd. To my business manager, Britt Bates, and my lawyer, David Nochimson, for your counsel and friendship all these years. To my agent, Bill Clegg, whose bravery inspired me to be bold. Thanks also to the rest of the team in the WME book department: Tracy Fisher, Cathryn Summerhayes, Shaun Dolan, and Chris Clemans. And to Jaclyn Bashoff, my manager, my friend, my compass.
