Fran Lebowitz in 1978
Ойын-сауық
The author of Metropolitan Life walks on New York City streets and tells a CBC reporter about her perspective on the news. Lebowitz is the subject of Pretend It's a City, a 2021 Netflix series directed by Lebowitz's friend Martin Scorsese, in which she "shares stories about her life and insights about the city's constant evolution in recent decades," said the Times earlier this month.

I think she came out of the womb with a cigarette in hand
She was so good looking in my opinion.
She kinda predicted how Facebook gives people their news. Personalized.

Agreed. She knew this all along through sheer observation!
In her time she was very revolutionary for a woman to have such strong opinions. She has changes her opinions over the years but something constant in her is the fact that keeps speaking her mind without being scared of the backlash and that is a great thing that I admire and love from her.

It’s her confidence
she’s about 28 years old here for anyone curious
Just discovered so late in life everything she casts an opinion on I feel in harmony with. A one off
Brilhante.

According to Fran’s Wikipedia page, in her 20’s she made money “writing papers for students” , which implies to me she helped them cheat.

What’s wrong with that you have to live with yourself all the time it’s hard to not become self absorbed
Since then, she doesn't write, she talks.
This was the year I was born. 😁
