And who is Mabel Froelich??!! <br /><br />MarkMark Kronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491468499631062197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-62205955338569183552009-11-28T20:42:28.566-05:002009-11-28T20:42:28.566-05:00Thanks all for the comments! AD, all those million...Thanks all for the comments! AD, all those millions of books and vanished for the next generation.<br />WM: ditto. JR, indeed, it's an older song, but his is "First We Take Manhattan," also a good title. Mark Krone: good to hear from you, man! Thanks for the clarification. On the internet, saw this inscription in a copy of <i>Diary</i>: "To Mabel Frohlich who is the model for my heroine. --Sue Kaufman". And elsewhere, a Mabel Froehlich (8/4/1920-4/9/1989). Endless puzzles for a biographer.

As I've mention...Interesting, as always, Erik. As I've mentioned before, Kaufman lived one floor below me in the late 60s and tragically, she appeared to have jumped from her apartment on the 12th floor, not 18th as Krantz stated. There are 15 floors in that building. You have come the closest to actually making me want to read Krantz. Close, but still not quite there :-)<br />I still haven't read Diary of a Mad Housewife! I need to get to that. <br />Happy Thanksgiving!Mark Kronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491468499631062197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-36819576960012963142009-11-28T09:02:48.066-05:002009-11-28T09:02:48.066-05:00Why am I thinking of Leonard Coen when I read: I&#...Why am I thinking of Leonard Coen when I read: I'll Take Manhattan?JR's Thumbprintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479324326541901987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-51527379603510117542009-11-28T05:20:23.050-05:002009-11-28T05:20:23.050-05:00We are getting old.We are getting old.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-10511349793539634552009-11-28T03:22:51.398-05:002009-11-28T03:22:51.398-05:00I don't believe I've ever heard of Judith ...I don't believe I've ever heard of Judith Krantz.
