She was an industry, the writer to read.<br /><br />I recall seeing her interiors when they were published. The fabrics and golden coloration were very Beverly Hills at that time...warm, a little fussy. I once saw Judith Krantz shopping for a croc handbag at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. She is tiny and svelte and beautifully groomed. So pleased to hear she is 82...I am sure she looks happy and wonderfully groomed still.Diane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-20081714738154943742009-09-08T18:58:50.655-04:002009-09-08T18:58:50.655-04:00Ms. Krantz will turn 82 this coming Jnuary.
