Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I muri tata ki te 70 tau e mahi ana i roto i te umanga pakiwaitara me te whakangahau, kei te whakahua te kaituhi rongonui me te kaituhi o Liz Smith i nga ingoa. Ko te 92 tau, i tīmata i tana mahi i New York City i a ia e 25 noa iho, e whakaatu ana i ētahi kōrero nui i tino whakahē i te wā o tana mahi nui i roto i ngā niupepa tae atu ki te New York Post me te New York Daily News. I tua atu, ko te nuinga o te hunga e whakapuakina ana e Smith he mea huna na ona hoa tata, tae atu ki a Barry Diller, e kii ana ia i ui ki a ia neke atu i te 20 tau ki muri: 'Ki to whakaaro me haere mai au?' Panuku ki raro mō ngā ataata. Kei te whakapuaki a Liz Smith i ngā mea ngaro rongonui kāore anō ia kia whakaputaina i roto i tana mahi 70 tau. E kii ana a Smith ko te tiamana o IAC a Barry Diller i patai ki a ia i te tau 1992: 'E whakaaro ana koe me haere atu au?' engari e 'whakapono' ana ia ki tana wahine a Diane Von Furstenberg (i runga ake nei) Ka kii a Smith ki te Kaituhi Hollywood i kii mai tenei korerorero i muri mai o David Geffen, tetahi atu kaiwhakahaere rongonui, i whakaatu ko ia he taangata i te 1992. E kii ana te kaituhi pakiwaitara i tohutohu ia ki a Diller, te tumuaki o te kamupene pāpāho IAC, ki a ia; 'Kahore, Barry, me haere mai a David Geffen. E hiahia ana ia ki tētahi kōrero nui, ki tētahi taupatupatu, ki tētahi whawhai rānei hei akiaki i a ia ki te pakihi, hei whakawehi hoki i te iwi ki a ia.' Na ka tapiritia e ia; 'Kei te wehi kē te iwi i a koe. Na he aha te painga ki a koe? Ano hoki, e aroha ana koe ki nga wahine.' Ko te 'wahine' i korerohia e Smith he wahine noa iho: ko te kaihoahoa ahua rongonui me te kaihanga o te kakahu takai, ko Diane von Fürstenberg, e kii ana a Smith ko Diller 'e karakia ana.' I tenei wa e kitea ana e te tokorua o New York, i marena te tokorua i te tau 2001, a ka kitea tonu i te taha o te taha, ahakoa kei te noho wehe raua. Kua noho tahi raua mai i nga tau 1970. E noho ana ia i runga ake i tana toa toa i roto i te rohe o te taone nui o te taone nui, i te mea he tino nui ia ki te taone nui me te noho ki te Hotera Carlyle. Kāore a Diller i whakautu ki tētahi tono kōrero. Ko Barbara Walters (i runga) he hoa pai, e ai ki a Smith, engari i ngaro tana hiahia ki te kaituhi korerorero i te wa i tana nupepa...
Kei te whakapuaki a Liz Smith, 92, i ngā mea ngaro o te hunga rongonui kāore anō kia whakaputaina i roto i tōna 70 tau mahi. I tīmata a Smith ki te mahi i te 25 o ōna tau, ā, ka haere ki te noho hei kaituhituhi kōrerorero mō te New York Post me te New York Daily News. Ko Smith, he wahine wahine, e kii ana ko te tiamana o te IAC a Barry Diller i patai ki a ia i te tau 1992: 'Ki to whakaaro me haere au ki waho?' Ahakoa tenei kereme, e kii ana a Smith kei te aroha a Diller ki tana wahine a Diane Von Furstenberg, i noho tahi ia mai i nga tau 1970 ka marenatia i te 2001. Mo nga hoariri, kaore ia i korero ki te tuahine o Jackie Kennedy, a Lee Radziwill i muri i tana kore ki te tiaki i a Truman Capote, ka karanga ia ki a ia he 'f **' Ka kiia e ia ko Elizabeth Taylor, Elaine Stritch, te Kawana o mua o Texas a Ann Richard me Bette Midler hei hoa tata ki a ia. He hoa pai a Barbara Walters e ai ki a ia, engari i ngaro tana hiahia ki a Smith i te wa i ngaro ai tana pou nupepa i te Pou.
