From my Rich & Famous tour this morning:
The house of murdered celebrity columnist Dorothy Kilgallen. Her body was found by her hairdresser Nov. 8, 1965–fully dressed from her appearance on What's My Line the night before and artificially propped up in a bed— not her own bed, but a rarely used guest room. The NYPD declared her a su***de but new evidence points to foul play. Apparently she had finished taping What’s My Line, gone to dinner and drinks and then went home.
Her hairdresser found her dressed and still wearing her wig and tv makeup which she never would do, he claims. She confided to friends that she was working on an explosive new report about the JFK murder but no papers were ever found! Toxicology reports said she had enough drugs in her body to kill a large animal. Friends interviewed said while Dorothy enjoyed a martini or two, she was NOT a drunk or a drug user.
The current owner has divided the large mansion into apartments.

My IMDB page is hopelessly outdated...there are many things I've done which are not on there yet. But if the production doesn't bother to provide it to IMDB, and the actor's agent doesn't do it, it doesn't get on there.

This is a sad time of year....I was in the World Trade Center countless times. I can close my eyes and see the lobbies, the elevators, the carpeting, the shops, the people. My last trip to the top was with a British tour group on Sunday Sept. 9, 2001 with a British tour group. We had Sunday brunch at Windows on the World restaurant on top of Tower One.
I only knew one person who survived...she said as she came down the emergency stairs 82 floors, the stairs were like waterfalls because the plumbing had come out of the walls. She remembered the 343 New York Firefighters who were going UP the stairs while workers were splashing their way DOWN.

Still hard to believe it's all gone and replaced by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum plus new office towers.
I knew several people there fairly well because of my tour business.

In Sunday's papers this morning: CENTRAL PARK UPDATE:
VISITORS FEAR FAMED GREEN SPACE AMID SOARING CRIME
by Georgia Worrell
Robberies and felonious assaults (muggings) are skyrocketing in Central Park, terrifying both tourists and life-long New Yorkers--thanks to a troubling mix of violent teen gangs, unhinged vagrants, and lawless illegal migrants roaming the famous "green space." So far in 2024, crime is up 222% in Central Park.
Central Park is a completely man-made structure and was built between 1858 and 1872; it's the only city park in the United States which has been declared a National Landmark because it inspired other cities to build parks. In addition to NYC Parks Department funding, Central Park receives funds from the State of NY and the Federal government in addition to billions raised privately by the non-profit CENTRAL PARK CONSERVANCY which has been restoring the landscaping to it's 19th century appearance, removing graffitti, etc.
