NY Times – (username:paxtonland password:paxtonland) – Carrie Donovan, one-of-a-kind fashion editor and TV’s `Old Navy Lady,’ dies at 73. “Ms. Donovan’s career had a screwball quality worthy of Hollywood. Though she studied dressmaking at the Parsons School of Design, she could never master a needle and thread. She lacked a similar command of automobiles and typewriters, and as a reporter for The New York Times, then as an editor for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and The New York Times Magazine, she wrote all her copy by hand.”
Although many of you may not know who she was, or perhaps you had a vauge idea. Her life is interesting to pause upon nevertheless. Take a second to read this thoughtful article. I was impressed and sentimentally sadened.
