It’s inevitable—change, that is. As we age, we always look back to the good old days— we complain about the way things have changed and praise how much better things were back then. And they were. Gas was under $2 a gallon. Your trip to the grocery store didn’t rival the tab of a designer bag. And haggling with the car dealership was a rite of passage—there was no such thing as paying over the sticker price for your new wheels. And did I mention that the good old days were just three years ago—in 2019! The world has changed. It’s the New World Order, they tell me. Truth be told, it feels like a used world order. I don’t like this change to the menu and I want to send this order back to the kitchen.
O
f course, one thing that hasn’t changed is Hampton Sheet. For over two decades we’ve been distributing our glossy print magazine to readers in the Hamptons, Manhattan, and Palm Beach. The late great Liz Smith called The Sheet a booming boutique publication. And in an age of fake followers, purchased likes, and seemingly endless photo streams, our hyper grandeluxe Hampton Sheet readers know that there are few more exciting sensations than reading something in print—from the smell, touch, and weight of the paper to the explosion of colors jumping from the page. Our readers are trendsetters—not followers. What better way to enjoy your digital detox than to read this month’s issue— from the latest in society galas and luxury products to philanthropy and entertainment news, we’ve got it all! Our cover star, Jean Shafiroff—philanthropist, humanitarian, TV host, writer, and author of Successful Philanthropy: How to Make a Life By What You Give, shares much insight into the joys of giving back. The inimitable George Wayne (formerly of Vanity Fair), always with his finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist, interviews himself about everything you should know but don’t. Quintessential New Yorker George Gurley, who has interviewed everyone from the late Frank Zappa and Allen Ginsberg to Kate Moss and Helena Bonham-Carter, has a treat for us with his interview with Bob Colacello—the former editor of Interview magazine and Andy Warhol’s right-hand man. This month’s philanthropy section HAMPTON SHEET

highlights The Estée Lauder Companies—a company that truly walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to giving back. Generation Z correspondent Emily Jedell schools the other generations on anything and everything about style—including her interview with the authority on fashion, Fern Mallis. As we move from the comfort of our couches back to the stadium seating at movie theaters, the great American television and film critic Jeffrey Lyons—our own awards season oracle—shares his reviews of the latest film and TV picks. Our youngest contributor, Bobby Love, interviews the incredible PGA Tour legend Jack Nicklaus and his wife, Barbara. After a two-year absence from The Sheet due to the pandemic, our always-coveted social calendar is back and chock-full of events to keep your dance card brimming. So sit back at home or at the beach and enjoy The Sheet! And remember to always be camera ready… you never know when I might spot you around town so I can include you in our next issue. n
Enjoy The Sheet!

YOU HAVE TO KNOW FERN!
EMILY’S TEEN PICKS
Fern Mallis has much to say in her new tome, Fashion Icons 2: Fashion Lives with Fern Mallis, including advice for the next gen of fashion enthusiasts.
Your guide to what’s trending for the next gen of Hamptonites...
BY EMILY JEDELL (Rizzoli), was also re-released as an updated edition with new content as well as artwork. These two treasure-trove volumes, which contain anything and everything you wanted to learn about fashion, were released in a two-book set created exclusively for Nordstrom. The books chronicle the series of talks that Fern hosts at the famed 92nd Street Y, aptly titled “Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis.” Featuring a different high-profile designer, photographer, model, editor, or other fashion industry talent each time, her intimate and often provocative interviews give her audiences a unique firsthand account of the lives of real-life fashion icons. The series is now one of the longest ongoing programs at the 92nd Street Y. Each of Fern’s talks ends with a simple question for that week’s guest: What advice do you have for the next generation of fashion icons in the room? Fern has graciously shared a few of her favorite responses with our readers, all of which are featured in the recently released Fashion Icons 2. Victoria Beckham I think it’s always great to work for somebody else. I learned so much when I was working with other brands. You can learn more about the industry when somebody else is paying the bills because it’s very expensive when you start doing it yourself. Stan Herman (a Southampton resident) The one thing I keep telling everyone is that you must have an alter ego. You must have somebody who takes the business aspect off of what you do. The demands to meet a profit margin are so extraordinary. It’s taken the guts out of the creativity. Christian Siriano Try to really find out what you love, meaning if you are all about evening wear and that’s what you love to do, make sure it’s the best it can be. I think it’s important for any young designer to be very focused on what is their full passion. Of course, no authority on fashion would be complete without Fern’s own words of advice on how to make it in the industry: “You’ve got to find your voice and your passion, be focused, be creative, do it differently, and just stay with it. ‘No’ doesn’t mean ‘no’ all the time.” Pick up your copy of Fashion Icons 2: Fashion Lives with Fern Mallis at your local bookstore or online at rizzoli.com or nordstrom.com for the exclusive Fashion Icons Nordstrom two-volume set.

This fall, I enter my senior year of high school. When you’re younger, people always ask you what you want to be when you “grow up”—while the question seems fanciful as a young kid, it seems more pressing now. People have always told me, “Do what you love”; I’ve always loved fashion, so I looked into it. One name kept popping up—Fern Mallis. “You have to know Fern!” people would tell me. “She’s the godmother of fashion!” Even Ralph Lauren (the man, not the brand) said, “Though her name is not on a label, Fern Mallis has made her own mark on the world of American fashion.” I was intrigued. Like many other powerful New York City women, Fern Mallis was born in Brooklyn. The summer she graduated from college she applied for the “Guest Editor” program at Mademoiselle magazine—a program that featured a who’s who of alumnae, including Betsey Johnson, Sylvia Plath, and Joan Didion. It was the summer of ’69—Fern worked tirelessly at the magazine and competed with others in the program for a full-time position. She was the only one to get the job and ended up working at the magazine for the next six years. And so began her almost fairytale-like life in fashion. By the 1980s, she had not only conquered the magazine world but also the spheres of fashion and design. It was also a time when the AIDS epidemic was rampant but no one was talking about it. Determined to make a difference, Fern, then a design publicist, joined the board of Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA). In doing that, she discovered yet another talent—fundraising for causes. In 1991 she applied for the position of executive director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)—a nonprofit organization formed to strengthen the impact of American fashion on the global economy. She believed that she was best qualified for the job because not only did she wear clothes and love being around people in the fashion industry but she also had what she called “garmento DNA.” After an exhaustive search, the CFDA selected her for the position. Together with Stan Herman, the then-president of the CFDA, Fern created a centralized fashion week in New York called 7th on Sixth in Bryant Park—which is known today as New York Fashion Week. And the rest, as they say, is fashion HERstory. In May 2022, she released Fashion Icons 2: Fashion Lives with Fern Mallis (Rizzoli)—a tome that Vogue’s senior archives editor, Laird Borrelli-Persson, called “required reading for anyone contemplating a career in fashion.” Her best-selling first volume, Fashion Icons 1: Fashion Lives with Fern Mallis

CELEBRITY LAWYER DAVID HRYCK WINS PRESTIGIOUS ELLIS ISLAND MEDAL I met up with power attorney David Hryck, partner and head of business and structuring at Duane Morris LLP, at his Southampton home for an intimate lunch just days after he received the prestigious Ellis Island Medal.
I
opened the paper the other day and saw you received the Ellis Island Medal along with Ruth Bader Ginsberg [posthumously]; what was that like? It was one of the biggest surprises in my life. The award honors the importance of immigration to America’s prosperity and celebrates the contributions immigrants and their families have made to our nation. My family came to the U.S. from Italy and Eastern Europe. The entire day I was thinking about how far we have come and what a true privilege and honor it was to be there. My parents always stressed the importance of community, being present, and giving as much as possible to help others. This is something very close to my heart. The whole world needs more of that thinking and doing these days. Last summer you threw one of the best parties in the Hamptons for a charity you are involved with. What was that like for you?
BY JOAN JEDELL Yes, that was an epic evening! It was for the Mariano Rivera Foundation; they are focused on helping impoverished children build a brighter future. I am a board member of the foundation, so we decided to host it at my home in Southampton. Mariano came with his family, and Wyclef Jean performed and brought the crowd to their feet for over two hours. We danced all night, and I joined Wyclef on guitar for two songs—I will never forget that evening. What other charities are you involved with?
Hryck jams with Wyclef

I am cochair with concert pianist Lang Lang for the Lang Lang International Music Foundation. We focus on providing music education to all children throughout the world. I am also on the boards of the Amy Winehouse Foundation; the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award for Excellence Fund, established by HRH Prince Philip; the Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development [Vuk Jeremic, president of the United Nations General Assembly for the 67th Session, is also president of this organization]; Yue-Sai Kan’s China Beauty Charity Fund; Pencils of Promise, founded by Adam Braun; and Marc Anthony’s Maestro Cares Foundation. That sounds like a tremendous amount of responsibility for one person. How do you keep it all moving forward as a partner in a law firm with this level of philanthropy? I know it sounds like a lot, but it feels seamless and effortless. I love and respect the causes I am involved HAMPTON SHEET

with and my fellow board members. We work hard, and socially we have been able to create phenomenal memories and make a lasting difference in our communities. At the end of the day, this is what it is all about. What are your favorite things to do while you are in Southampton? I feel so fortunate to have a home in Southampton. The perfect day for me is morning yoga followed by a workout, swimming, and connecting with nature. I love being with great friends and family. What is your favorite place to hang out? To be honest, I like to spend time at home and have friends visit or go to their homes. When I do head out, I love to have lunch or dinner at Sant Ambroeus, which is my favorite restaurant out here. So, everyone is asking—another party this summer? Not sure yet, but you will be the first to know. n

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
THE BEAUTY OF GIVING BACK When it comes to corporate philanthropy, there are businesses that talk the talk but don’t exactly, as the saying goes, walk the walk. BY KAREN ANN LOVE the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, that it would switch production lines to help make hand sanitizer for frontline relief workers, and that it was donating two million surgical masks for frontline relief workers in New York City. These critical and generous steps led other companies to follow suit. And how could any discussion of ELC’s charitable initiatives be complete without mentioning the trailblazing MAC Viva Glam campaign, which has been championed by Mary J. Blige, Lady Gaga, Elton John, and Miley Cyrus over the years, with 100 percent of the selling price of Viva Glam lip products going toward the funding of HIV/AIDS programs around the world. Founded in 1994 at the height of the HIV epidemic, Viva Glam has

raised well over $500 million for the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Viva Glam also took action during the early days of the pandemic, donating $10 million to 250 organizations providing essential needs and services to people at higher risk. This article highlights some of the other recent philanthropic initiatives of ELC, its brands, and its corporate foundation. The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation The mission of The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation (ELCCF) is to improve the well-being of diverse global communities, with equity at the center and an emphasis on women and girls.

system that has achieved cult-classic status over the years and the iconic white Clinique lab coats donned by its employees. Clinique was introduced in 1968—a time where skincare ingredients weren’t as regulated as they are today. Many other companies put ingredients in their products that caused women to have adverse reactions. Clinique transformed the industry with its allergy-tested skincare and makeup products. Always at the forefront, in April 2020, Clinique was one of the first brands to donate over 50,000 skincare products as a thank you to the doctors and nurses in New York City’s hospitals. The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign Leonard Lauder’s late wife, Evelyn H. Lauder, founded The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign MIDSUMME R 2 02 2
in 1992 with the launch of the iconic Pink Ribbon campaign; its global mission was to create a breast cancer– free world for all. Today, the Breast Cancer Campaign is The Estée Lauder Companies’ largest corporate socially impactful program. Through the collective efforts of its employees, consumers, and partners, the campaign supports more than 60 organizations worldwide. Together, the Breast Cancer Campaign and The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation have funded more than $108 million for lifesaving global research, education, and medical services—with more than $86 million funding medical research grants through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). BCRF is dedicated to advancing the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. La Mer When you think of La Mer, you can’t help but think of the picture-perfect skin of high-profile actresses and models who have sworn by the product for years. Acquired by The Estée Lauder Companies in 1995, La Mer is a leading global luxury skincare brand known for its iconic Crème de la Mer moisturizer, serums, and lotions, as well as other skincare and foundation products that are created around the original “Miracle Broth.” But saving your skin isn’t the only thing La Mer does—the brand is committed to helping protect marine habitats across the globe through the La Mer Blue Hearts Oceans Fund. Through charitable donations by the fund, La Mer strives to create ripples of good that lead to waves of change in hopes of ensuring a future with flourishing seas for generations to come. With its 75-year legacy of putting its values into action, ELC not only talks the talk, but walks the walk—placing people, positive impact, and inclusivity at the heart of everything it does and making it a beauty-inspired, valuesdriven company. n 17

hen there are businesses like The Estée Lauder Companies, where giving back is ingrained in its very corporate fiber. Indeed, the company’s eponymous founder, Estée Lauder (born Josephine Esther Mentzer), was known for her giving sprit—even from a very young age. In fact, when Estée was just a senior at Newton High School in Elmhurst, Queens, she generously distributed to her classmates free samples of the Super Rich All-Purpose Creme developed by her uncle, who was the owner of a company that made beauty products. When she was a young mother trying to launch her own skin-product line from her kitchen, she gave free facials using her own products to customers waiting for their hair to dry at the Upper West Side House of the Ash Blondes salon. And of course, who could forget what Mrs. Lauder called the “sales technique of the century”—how she routinely gave away free samples of her company’s products in order to induce customers to buy more. It should also come as no surprise that Estée Lauder gave her two sons—businessmen and philanthropists Leonard and Ronald Lauder—her philanthropic ideals. Today, The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC), which was founded in 1946 by Estée and Joseph Lauder, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers, marketers, and sellers of quality skincare, makeup, fragrance, and hair-care products. Their products—sold in approximately 150 countries and territories—include brand names found in almost every powder room, handbag, and makeup case around the world, including Estée Lauder, Clinique, Origins, MAC, Bobbi Brown, La Mer, Aveda, Jo Malone London, and Aerin. Guided by the Lauder family’s values and spirit of giving back, over the years ELC has made contributions to support the well-being of its global communities, including monetary and in-kind donations. ELC was one of the first companies to announce, during

have resources have an obligation to give back. What are your main areas of focus? My focus includes animal welfare, health care, women’s rights, and the rights of underserved populations. Each year I chair about eight or nine charity galas. In addition, I host many smaller parties and gatherings for different charities. Do you ever get tired and just need a break? I admit I have a lot of energy. The causes I am involved with fuel me because I believe in them. However, I love to take breaks and enjoy the beauty around me in the Hamptons and elsewhere. What do you do in your spare time? I like to go to museums and visit with friends. Spending time on the beach and traveling are ways I like to relax and exercise is a must too. I am a very
social person and love the social aspect of philanthropy—I enjoy meeting new people. What do you love most about the Hamptons? The Hamptons have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The landscape is breathtaking as well. We have wonderful restaurants and many social activities. I love spending time with my weekend guests including the friends I have made around the globe. How do you prepare your wardrobe for each gala that you attend? Styling an outfit is something that I truly enjoy. Often, I decide at the last minute what to wear. But I will usually have a few options available in case a zipper breaks, for example. You have been known for your fashion. Your style is often talked about and you have appeared on a number of best-dressed lists. Fashion is a great hobby of mine. It is one of the reasons why I serve on the board of the Couture Council of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I love to discover and promote up-and-coming fashion designers. Over the years I have amassed a large designer and couture ball gown collection that I plan to donate to a museum someday. The collection includes many beautiful gowns by Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, B Michael, Valentino, Victor dE Souza, Mary McFadden, Zang Toi, and Malan Breton.

knowledge, and available financial resources. Those that have no resources to give can give their time and knowledge. How would you like to be remembered? I would like to be remembered as someone who cared about many people and who always worked hard for different causes. What advice would you give a young person to inspire a sense of giving back? Look to join a junior committee and look for a cause that is of great interest to you. Also, see if you can find a mentor to teach you about philanthropy. We can all be mentors and should encourage the next generation! We also must teach them to share and be kind no matter what. You’ve been honored dozens of times for your work, and you have chaired many galas. What is the responsibility you have for these honors? All of this requires work. A good honoree donates generously and then reaches out to others for donations and ticket sales. Bringing visibility to a cause is also important. It’s not just about getting an award and walking away. Being honored comes with a great sense of responsibility. An honored person must serve and have a lifelong commitment to others. n Follow Jean Shafiroff on social media: I: @jeanshafiroff, @jeanshafiroffatwork, F: @JeanShafroff, T: @JeanShafiroff

Tell us about some of your favorite guests you’ve had on your television show: Successful Philanthropy. My TV show is exciting for me. I love interviewing people and have interviewed over 150 personalities including many celebrities, political figures, business leaders, fashion designers, and heads of charities— individuals who I believe have done good work in the area of philanthropy. Some of my guests have included Tony Danza, Carol Alt, Tova Feldshuh, Nelson Mandela’s grandson Ndaba Mandela, U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney, Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright, and Kerry Kennedy, among many others. Where did your love of animals come from? It started when my oldest daughter adopted a dog and brought him to our home in New York City. We soon learned that an adopted pet could bring great love into our lives. Today I serve on several charity boards that focus on animal causes. My love of animals grew and inspired my work with organizations such as American Humane, Global Strays, and the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation. I also served as the National Spokesperson for American Humane’s Feed the Hungry COVID-19 program, an initiative that successfully raised $1M to provide food for over 1,000,000 hungry animals at 109 animal shelters across the United States. How do you define a philanthropist? A philanthropist is anyone who gives their time,

ART & CULTURE
Bob Colacello Photo by Jonathan Becker
I was pretty familiar with the basic Bob Colacello story from reading Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up, his magnificent 1990 book, which is part art history, social history, comedy, and memoir. Colacello was getting his master’s in film at Columbia University in 1970 when a review he’d written for the alternative paper New Times caught the attention of Paul Morrissey, the movie director (Chelsea Girls, Trash) and Warhol’s righthand man. Interview magazine’s then editor, Soren Agenoux, called to ask if the 22-year-old grad student would be willing to write reviews. Would I be willing? Would Lana Turner wear a sweater? Colacello thought. The next day he turned in his first assignment, a review of a wild, radical Brazilian western called Antonio das Mortes, and was told they paid $25 an article but he could meet Warhol.
S
ix months later, Colacello was the new editor of Interview and Warhol’s new right-hand man. He likes to say he was dropped on Mount Olympus. As delightful as it is, Holy Terror can be painful to read. Every few pages you can’t help thinking how much fun it must have been hanging out with Elizabeth Taylor and Warhol in Rome, driving to the Brooklyn Museum with Andy, Jackie Onassis, and Lee Radziwill, partying with the Stones at the Sherry-Netherland, having tea with Salvador Dalí at the St. Regis, attending Candy Darling’s birthday party at Scavullo’s townhouse, socializing in the back room of Max’s Kansas City with the Warhol Superstars—and that’s only up to 1973! And what was Colacello up to before he met everyone and saw it all? What has Bob been up to in the past four decades besides writing nonstop for Vanity Fair and now Air Mail, cranking out hundreds of long-form articles, writing a massive biography of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, putting out two books of photographs, and still going out every night? A few days before his 75th birthday he took a few questions. Holy Terror is a total blast. How can a book about the ’70s not feel at all dated? People still love it. The paperback from Vintage Books came out in 2014. It has a new introduction called “So Much Has Happened: 1990-2014” about everything that happened after it was first published. It was written at a time when a sense of humor was 24

still permissible and certain chapters—like “Chasing Imelda Marcos,” which is about trying to get her to agree to have her portrait done—are a total comedy of errors. Why hasn’t there been a Bob Colacello biopic yet? There has been talk about making Holy Terror into a TV series or a movie, so we shall see. Along came [writer-director-producer] Ryan Murphy with Netflix and The Warhol Diaries series and my project got shelved. I would think there would be more interest now. Well, maybe there is now, but nothing is more complicated than getting a project actually done in the entertainment industry and I never really count on it. That Netflix series, which you are in a lot, is somewhat dreary at times. It made Andy into such a sad sack, longing for love, but Andy was really funny, and we had a lot of good times. It was so one dimensional. As I said in my review in Air Mail, “Andy was the Oscar Wilde of Union Square, not Virginia Woolf.” What was Warhol like in the Hamptons? Andy hated the beach. He would never have bought in Montauk if Paul Morrissey hadn’t pressured him into doing so. Andy couldn’t take the sun; he was essentially albino and turned purple in the sun. He would only go out to Montauk when Jackie and Lee [Radziwill] were going for a weekend or Elizabeth Taylor or Mick Jagger were there. Last summer you began working for the Peter Marino Art Foundation in Southampton. What’s he like? HAMPTON SHEET

First of all, he’s so brilliant, kind of a genius, I think, but he is also really funny. Peter Marino has the ability to relate to everybody, whether it’s the grandest of ladies, many of whom are his clients, the richest of the new young finance guys, many of whom are his clients, or his Hispanic gardeners and blue-collar construction workers. He relates to everybody and they in turn relate to him, even though some people who don’t know him start off being a little nervous about the way he dresses, and I tell them, “He’s branding.” Yeah, what’s up with that? Peter started wearing the full-leather motorcycle look because Karl Lagerfeld told him, “If you want to be famous you have to have a look, an extreme look. You have to brand yourself.” Like what Lagerfeld did with his 18th-century powdered hair and all the rest of it. Peter, until 10 or 12 years ago, dressed very, very preppy with bow ties and Brooks Brothers jackets, and sometimes he would wear those Austrian loden jackets with double buttons across the front. He was upset about the fact that people knew the name “Peter Marino” but when he went to a party no one took his photograph, because no one knew what Peter Marino looked like, really. The way he dressed was a branding decision. It was his way to get photographed at parties. Who are some of the artists being featured and that you’ll be interviewing at the foundation?

The IRS had told him he had to keep a diary to keep track of his expenses because he’d been audited in 1972. Pat would call him, and they would chat for a little while and then she would call me. So that’s my diary. I used a lot of that in Holy Terror, and then I never stopped doing a diary. For a while I was dictating to Brigid Berlin and then I just started writing it myself and I still do keep it. It’s thousands and thousands of pages. Wait, so you have unpublished diaries from 1982 when you left Interview to the present? Leo Lerman told me: “Keep a diary, it will be your retirement fund.” It’s sort of at a crossroads right now. I don’t know whether I will move ahead with the second Reagan book, which has been quite challenging. I have been told often that I should write a memoir and because of this Netflix series, where I am sort of in it more than anybody else, I am getting everyone, from people on the streets stopping me and saying, “When are you going to write your own blockbuster memoir?”—and that doesn’t usually happen to me—to Leonard Lauder giving me a talk the other night at a dinner party, saying, “You’ve got to tell your own story. Put the Reagans into your memoir.” So who knows? I am thinking things through. Will you write about your life prior to Warhol? I have always wanted to write about growing up Italian-American in Brooklyn and Long Island and I always joke that I never had to social climb: I landed on Mount Olympus in Andy’s helicopter overnight. I met everybody, but the funny thing I discovered pretty early on was that people are people and that these grand Parisienne ladies sitting around having lunch—the conversation is not that much different from my grandmother in Brooklyn, my mom, and my aunt Jenny. They were telling stories about other people to entertain each other. It is a very Italian thing, too, to turn life into a commedia dell’arte, the divine comedy. So you have that built-in tape recorder? Well, some people will remember every painting they saw at someone’s apartment, and someone else will remember every dress that every woman was wearing at some dinner party. But I remember the conversations. That is why Andy always said, “Oh, they won’t let me tape record here but you could be my tape recorder, my human tape recorder.” n 25

Your breakdown of the top four movies that you need to see this summer! BY JEFFREY LYONS
T
he Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that to be Oscar-eligible, films will once again have to be screened for at least one week in specific cities. This ends the two-year period when cities on lockdown kept moviegoers at home and viewers were watching films exclusively on streaming channels. Since then, skyrocketing gas prices and new virus strains have kept attendance in theaters well below pre-pandemic numbers. Some movies that previously headed directly to DVD are turning up on various platforms instead. So today, a look at worthy films now playing or soon to arrive on a streaming service near you. Waiting for Anya, streaming on Amazon Prime, is a touching story about brave citizens living under the yoke of German occupation in France during World War II. They were subjected to continuous harassment by German soldiers who’d arrived in the previously autonomous Vichy region in November 1942. The Germans soon began searching for fleeing Jewish refugees, especially children. One is a girl named Anya, hastily given by her father to strangers in a train station to avoid deportation and certain death. The film is narrated by a now-elderly villager; as a boy he’s played effectively by Noah Schnapp. With his father away at the war, the boy tends to the family’s flock of sheep in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Oscar winner Angelica Huston costars as a widow. Under pain of death, she’s been hiding escaped children on her small farm and arranging for them to be spirited away over the border to the safety of neutral Spain. Veteran actor Jean Reno costars in a rare English-speaking role as the boy’s grandfather. Although adapted from a novel, the film is based on true events and brings overdue praise to the brave French villagers who saved some 7,500 Jewish children. Row 19 is an effective if predictable horror thriller. This Russian movie, available on DVD and Blue Ray, arrived here before the sanctions, and so it’s doubtful any profits will ever go to Russia. Its 78 minutes is just the right amount for a film such as this. Moscow-born Svetlana Ivanova plays a young mother who, as a 7-year-old, had been the only survivor of a plane crash. She’s since been plagued by visions and nightmares but nevertheless is flying with her own daughter on a nearly empty domestic flight. When the plane flies into a fierce storm, several passengers and crew suffer shocking deaths as Ivanova tries to fend off her demons and save her daughter. The terror grows exponentially as the special effects increase. Previously unknown here, Ivanova is a revelation. One only hopes she and her family will soon defect and make Hollywood movies instead. Toscana, available on Netflix, is a picturesque romantic drama set in Denmark and Italy. Anders Matthesen plays a prickly, short-tempered top chef and restaurant owner. He berates his staff for minor infractions and is a perfectionist to a fault. Facing bankruptcy, he learns his father has left him a Tuscan castle and restaurant. Intending to sell his inheritance, his life takes a major turn when he visits the site. Intriguing Cristiana Dell’ Anna costars as a childhood girlfriend. When the two rekindle their friendship, the story takes an implausible turn. Still, it’s adequate entertainment, and foodies will drool over the closeups of fancy dishes. Operation Mincemeat on Netflix recreates one of the most amazing feats of deception of World War II. Also depicted in 1956’s The Man Who Never Was, which starred Clifton Webb, this version stars Colin Firth as Lt. Commander Ewen Montagu. In July 1943 Montagu loaded the corpse of a Royal Marine drowning victim carrying fake secret documents onto a submarine. The corpse was dumped off in neutral Spain in hopes of convincing the Germans that the Allied invasion of Europe would begin in Greece, not Sicily. This version of the operation delves into Montagu’s private life but is nearly effective as the earlier film, which is available on demand and worth seeing as well. n 26

Ralph Lauren’s Polo Shirt (Rizzoli) Embodying a chic casualness that is uniquely American, the iconic polo shirt has become a cool cultural symbol, worn by everyone from presidents to movie stars to athletes to artists. This unique tome includes the full range of colors and styles that have been produced during the polo’s over 50-year history. It celebrates the full spectrum of Polo, which makes it a collector’s dream. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow (Random House In this novel by the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry, Gabrielle Zevin tells the tale of Sam and Sadie—lifelong friends and creative partners in the world of video game design who were “often in love but never lovers.” You will have a hard time putting down this modern-day love story as you read about Sam and Sadie’s successes, fame, ups and downs, and, finally, a form of immortality. For those of you currently sitting on the beach even though you’re “technically” supposed to be working from home, maybe you should pick up a copy of Conan O’Brien’s longtime assistant Sona Movsesian’s The World’s Worst Assistant (Plume), a hilarious how-to guide on becoming a terrible yet un-fireable employee. Achieving such greatness is a gradual process, starting with long hours and hard work before eventually descending into napping on your boss’s couch. Henry Gilles—one of the world’s wealthiest industrialists—is facing his untimely death. But to the surprise of his estranged and dysfunctional twin daughters, he has a plan to have himself cloned so he can perpetuate his existence and complete his life goals. His daughters, who are set to inherit his billions, will not see a dime of their inheritance unless they accomplish the task set forth by their father before his death: to raise his clone from infant to the age of maturity. The two sisters must combat their extreme loathing of their father and their fear of motherhood as well as their mutual distaste and distrust of each other in order to have a chance to succeed. With a plot that twists and turns, Raising Father, a novel by first-time author M. Lee Fox (Simms), is a story of life-changing growth with the requisite controversy and scandal. Before the kiddos all cut the cords and switched to streaming, there was basic cable. But there was nothing basic about it. Take a nostalgic trip down memory lane in Directed by JAMES BURROWS: Five Decades of Stories from the Legendary Director of Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Friends, Will & Grace, and More (Random House Publishing Group). In this must-binge-read book, legendary sitcom director James Burrows—who helped launch the careers of Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Aniston, and countless others—reveals five decades’ worth of never-revealed stories behind the dozens of great sitcoms he directed.

FERN MALLIS FASHION ICONS 2 BOOK PARTY
GEORGE WAYNE UNFILTERED
EGO vs ID Martha Stewart, Fern Mallis
BY GEORGE WAYNE
W
ell hello, darlinka(s)! It’s a new season and the Shamptons will never be more spectacular, so the cognoscenti are whispering... GEORGE WAYNE: Who’s our haute on the South Fork summer ’22 obsession during this season? GW: GW’s obsession this summer is one Prince Achileas-Andreas—Prince Achi of Greece and Denmark. I know! This arbiter knows that the zeitgeist needs a new John-John Kennedy blueblood royal stud to ogle and we need one now! So Prince Achi—the gorgeous 21-year-old blond swan spawn of Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece and Marie Chantal Pavlos—you are the chosen one, luv. GEORGE WAYNE: JFK Jr.—those are some size 11 shoes to fill. GW: Oh! How I miss John-John Kennedy! In retrospect, I really should have listened to you when you begged GW to leave Vanity Fair to join your ranks at George magazine. I said no, and I regret it to this day. GEORGE WAYNE: Okay, enough with that. What else is haute this season? GW: Geez Louise, bish! What else do you want to know? The fact is we already know that the only place you can still get gas for $3 in America is at the nearest Taco Bell! Oy! So let’s move on. The other day I saw that iconic New Yorker Fern Mallis. GEORGE WAYNE: You mean the woman who revolutionized the presentation of fashion in America when she and Stan Herman created New York Fashion Week in 1993? GW: Yes!!! Well, I went to her divine book-release party at the superlatively 28
Fern Mallis signs her new tome for GW
fashionable setting of the restaurant at the 57th Street Nordstrom flagship. The Veuve Clicquot flowed all night and “Ferny” was in her element, welcoming the required social stalwarts such as Martha Stewart, Nicole Miller, Stefano Tonchi, Bethann Hardison, and Tim Gunn and a further cavalcade of old-school fashionistas. I told Ferny that I was the oracle to declare that a major addition to anyone’s book collection will be her new tome, Fashion Icons 2: Fashion Lives with Fern Mallis [book 1 and 2], a must read! GEORGE WAYNE: It takes a special talent to master the celebrity Q&A. GW: I should know—I did it for 22 years for Vanity Fair! Ferny’s book is to be commended. With these two compendiums, much to her credit, she has interviewed almost every Fashion Bessie—from Ralph to Calvin to Valentino to Victoria Beckham and every relevant designer in between. They all talked to Fern. She told me: “I look at these two books as a master class with all these legendary talents offering their authentic, unscripted perspective on their work and their lives.” GEORGE WAYNE: GW! You with that gimlet eye on the zeitgeist. What else to nota bene? GW: Oooh! Do you remember Carine Roitfeld? That fabulously snobby former editor in chief of French Vogue? That Parisian editrix that Anna Wintour… well, let’s just say Carine’s no longer with the Condé Nast empire. The said diva went on to create the CR Fashion Book to rival Vogue and further firmly establish her brand as one of fashion’s most influential. Well, HAMPTON SHEET
guess what? Since April she’s been flogging her brand-new eau de parfum—Carine. Her next project ought to be an erotic essay book! Laugh out loud, people! GEORGE WAYNE: You’ve always had your finger on the pulse of the art and culture scene. GW: Tell me about it, hunny bunny! I only wish I had David Geffen’s money to out-fantasy my fantasies this season. Head to the Blade Skyport terminal on East 23rd Street and go straight to Sag Harbor on their new seaplane service this season. Naturally, the best suite at my favorite South Fork hotel— Barron’s Cove—will already have been reserved for the first five weeks of the season out there in my fave part of Sag Harbor. In August, for a change of pace, GW would then check into one of the brand-new executive suites at the revamped Capri hotel in Southampton, which is guaranteed to be a glamorous social nexus even more than ever this summer, especially with the news that my dear friend Omar Hernandez might be taking over the Naia restaurant there for the season. Suffice to say, if you want a Beyoncé or Bella Hadid sighting, rest assured Naia is where the glamour party crowd will be flocking. From the Capri, in late August GW will then head further out for hotel living at the newly reopened Pridwin Hotel and Cottages on Shelter Island to quietly relax and work on my third book and prepare for the next New York season in September. And how is that for a captivating summer? I will be in touch. n Follow me @georgiewhirlofficial MIDSUMME R 2 02 2

DEBBIE BAUM NYC REAL ESTATE BROKER AT THE CORCORAN GROUP Your tagline is “Real estate will always be in fashion.” What inspired you? I have been using this tagline for the last 20 years! Whether prices are up, down, or sideways, people are always buying, selling, or renting. There is continuous movement. Conversations often turn to the topic of real estate. The popularity of reality real estate TV shows is indicative of the ongoing interest in not only the properties but in the cast of characters who facilitate the transactions! Continuing in the fashion vein, tell us what you wear on a typical day. I like to dress up for my clients. I go for “professional with a twist.” And whatever I wear has to look good with flats or sneakers. I am still pounding the pavement; however, the days of me doing it in high heels are over! How have your many years in the fashion business prepared you for success as a real estate broker? Because I ran designer fashion brand companies, I entered this field with a background in sales, management, marketing, public relations, advertising, and finance. I did a fair amount of public speaking and interviews on TV as well as for trade publications. This experience has helped me build my customer base and brand. It’s also enabled me to choose excellent team members. It’s a joy to work with them. You have hit a milestone. Tell us about it. Yes, I hit over $500M in sales. I did not reach this number by selling only high-end properties. I have a volume business and rarely turn anything down. I have sold properties ranging from $140K to $23,250,000 and I enjoy every transaction. I am very appreciative of my customers, who have trusted me over the years. Now what? Now, I hit the next $500M! 30

A selfproclaimed “ultimate consumer,” she is known for spending months in Europe locating the perfect treasure trove of vintage and original items for home décor. While Monelle’s fervor is for curating, her best friend, Gary McNatton, has a passion for design and fragrances. In fact, Gary—with his three decades of experience delivering award-winning design and production—has been credited with developing Gap’s personal-care division into a $200 million-a-year business. After years of talking about it, the two best friends decided to take the yin and yang of their friendship to the next level and open a shop of their own called Hudson Grace featuring timeless original and vintage décor. The flagship store, located in the tony Presidio Heights neighborhood in San Francisco, was coveted by locals as a “best-kept secret.” Like most secrets, however, word quickly spread about Hudson Grace’s exquisite collection of home goods, which are rooted in simplicity and authenticity. Today, Hudson Grace has nine stores nationwide, including in Sag Harbor and its newest store on Bleecker Street in Manhattan. The Sheet recently asked the cofounders to share one tip about their respective design philosophies. Your brand has been called a juxtaposition of your design aesthetics and retail pedigrees—can you give our readers one tip about design? MT: Don’t just design with beauty and practicality in mind—buy that way too. GM: Keep things simple. I’ve always said that there’s a comfort in holding something beautiful and chunky and not at all delicate. Hudson Grace chooses items that are meant to be used and to be loved. So whether you’re looking for the perfect hostess gift or are redecorating, run, don’t walk, to Hudson Grace to find that unique and timeless one-of-a-kind item to fit your needs.

Kids Cancel Cancer is the latest fundraiser benefiting the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF), an international organization committed to funding world-class cancer research. Unlike other fundraising events, this one was created and organized by adolescents to raise money for pediatric cancer research. While pediatric cancer deaths have declined by 65 percent over the past few decades, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death for children and accounts for more than 1,000 deaths each year and 10,000 new cases. This inaugural event will take place on August 17 at the Clubhouse in East Hampton from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Parents are more than welcome to attend too. Tickets are $100 for kids, $125 for adults. Visit waxman cancer.org/kids-cancel-cancer for more information, to purchase tickets, or to become a sponsor. Here’s what we hear from the young event cochairs: Why did you get involved? What is your goal? “My grandfather, for whom I was named, died of pancreatic cancer before I was born. I want my friends to know and understand that research can lead to a cure to end this horrible illness,” said Hayley Silvers. “My great-grandmother and great-grandfather sadly both died of cancer before I was born. Cancer impacts so many families around the world, so my main goal is to raise awareness and hopefully make a difference,” said Mischa Abend. “Kids Cancel Cancer means a chance to raise awareness amongst my peers and inspire them to get involved. The event will be a fun and entertaining day with a purpose. Those who attend should expect to be touched and inspired by the work of the foundation,” said Abey Fuks. “Cancer has affected my family in so many ways. I have seen many dark days stemming from this horrible disease. I hope I can make a difference in raising awareness to help eradicate cancer,” said Ava Litman. HAMPTON SHEET

EUGENIA FOXWORTH FROM ENTREPRENEUR TO PODCAST STAR
JUDI’S CRYSTAL BALL JUDI DESIDERIO, CEO, TOWN & COUNTRY REAL ESTATE
Judi, what do you see in your crystal ball for Hamptons real estate? Well, back in 2014, I predicted we might have a seven-year cycle forming for high-end sales and new HWMs (high water marks) when Barry Rosenbaum purchased the estate of Andrew Gordon from his partner Chris Brown for $147M on Further Lane in East Hampton. It began seven years prior in 2007, with Ron Baron’s purchase of the 40-acre deMenil/ Carpenter estate on Further Lane for $103M. Then 2021, the best year for real estate sales ever seen, continued that seven-year trend with the tally for the top 10 most expensive sales totaling $634.5M—39 percent more than 2020! If that trend continues, the next HWMs will be in 2028. So what happens between now and then? The lower end, which for the East End is under $1M, should see little to no change— understandably, since inventory is severely low in all markets at the lower end. From there it’s mathematics. Check out the T&C Market Reports and you can see market activity—per quarter, per region, and per price range—for nearly two decades. Then look at the inventory levels per region, per price range, and you can predict with reasonable accuracy the shift in prices. Inventory, in certain segments of the market, will stabilize the prices within those specific markets. The wild card is the origin of the future inventory. The years moving into this next correction, or market balancing as I like to call it, were fed by cheap easy money first, then a worldwide pandemic, which caused a migration to rural areas within commuting distance to major cities. The good news is many buyers bought with cash and with the “buy and hold” mentality. That’s positive and leads us to predict that we should not see sellers doing the dump. That should help to stabilize prices. But let there be no mistake: The reset on prices is not at the height of the “COVID kick-up” as I call it. Week by week, month by month, I shall be gazing at my crystal ball to help our associates and clients navigate future market trends.
Tell us a little about yourself, Eugenia. I’m an independent woman who is passionate about the arts, culture, and history. I have a strong belief in helping others and giving back. I worked as a flight attendant, a boutique owner, and an art dealer and gallery owner in the past. And now I’m into my fifth incarnation!

e’re into summer and it’s already turning out to be a doozy. The Climate Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released their summer outlook, which predicts a summer of above-average temperatures and wetter weather for the East Coast. According to NOAA, this prediction is influenced by the fact that this is a La Niña year. This means a stronger hurricane season in the Atlantic. Between escalating U.S. natural gas prices, air-conditioning season, and potentially stormy weather, the odds of us having another major blackout are pretty high.

FORE THE LOVE OF GOLF WITH
BARBARA AND JACK NICKLAUS I turned 9 the day before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared. I’m 11 now. If you know me, you know that I always look for the positives—but it was really hard to find any silver linings over the past two years. That is, until I discovered golf. BY BOBBY LOVE Golf is the perfect pandemic sport. It’s outside, the players are really kind, and if you’re still into social distancing, you can be as far away from other golfers as you want. This column is about golf tips—both on and off the course. I cannot think of two better people to give advice than the most important couple in golf— Barbara and Jack Nicklaus. Married since 1960, they have raised five children and now have 22 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Maybe you know Jack Nicklaus as the player who had the longest and straightest drives on the PGA Tour. Or that he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Or maybe you’ve seen sports clips of him sinking a 102foot putt. No matter what, you probably know Jack Nicklaus as one of the greatest golfers of all time—the Golden Bear—who won a record 73 PGA Tour events and 18 major championships. Barbara Nicklaus is another kind of champion—for charitable causes. She believes that “the legacy you leave here on Earth is measured by the hearts you touch.” And she has touched many. She and Jack cofounded the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation in 2004 and the PGA Tour’s Memorial Tournament in 1976, raising millions for charity. For her work helping others, she was recognized with the 2019 PGA Distinguished Service Award and was inaugurated into the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame in 2021. Mrs. Nicklaus—also known as the First Lady of Golf—can also play the sport. Legend has it that after she completed her first five holes ever—at just twoover par—she said: “This game isn’t so hard. I don’t know why you practice so much.” I was recently in contact with Barbara and Jack Nicklaus in sunny South Florida to talk about my favorite sport—golf. The PGA Tour’s Memorial Tournament that you cofounded has raised millions for Nationwide Children’s Hospital. The PGA Tour and its players also support more than 3,000 other charities. Why is charity so important in golf? MIDSUMME R 2 02 2
JN: Charity is important because golf is much more than just a game. Ever since the PGA Tour was formed, billions of dollars in charitable funds have been raised to help a variety of causes all over the world. My family and I are very grateful for all we have been given over the years, not only through the game of golf but through all those we have had the good fortune to meet. Tell me more about your own charity. JN: Barbara and I decided long ago that if we were ever in a position to help, we would make it a priority to give back. In 2004, we formed the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, through which we have helped countless children and families from all over the world get access to cutting-edge pediatric health care. What’s your best advice for any golfer? JN: The best advice I can give to an aspiring golfer is to have a good teacher and practice, practice, practice—there is no substitute for either and I cannot stress that enough. To be successful in golf, as with anything, you must have a desire and a willingness to commit to a lot of hard work. BN: Practice, work hard, and always be patient. JN: Barbara knows a lot about patience; she has been married to me for almost 62 years! This question is for my game. Mr. Nicklaus, if you had the choice between hitting the longest and straightest drive every time or making every putt, what would you choose? JN: Bobby, if I had the choice to hit either the longest and straightest drives every time or to make every putt, I would choose the putt. Even if you drive well time after time, you still have to make that putt. For more information about the Nicklaus Children’s Healthcare Foundation, go to nchcf.org. Bobby Love, born and raised in Manhattan, is an 11-year-old Florida transplant. He started taking golf lessons in 2021 at the age of 10. He wants everyone to love golf as much as he does. n

Two of your favorite East Enders share their most memorable dreams to help them understand what they mean…
BY LAYNE DALFEN • BRUCE BLAKEMAN, Politician
The Dream: “I am walking through my childhood backyard, which is filled with alligators, but rather than attack me they let me pass through.” The Interpretation: Your dreams are triggered by something that either happened to you or that you reflected on the day before. In essence, your unconscious mind continues to mull over the issues that you thought about (or tried not to think about) during the day. Since our first goal is always to find the subject you were discussing with yourself, I wonder if someone has recently come at you in a dangerous way but then let you “pass through.” Alternatively, you might ask yourself if you’ve noticed a shift from one that is possibly harmful to one that is more benign or accepting. These two possibilities could be simultaneous and might even involve the same person. Looking a little deeper, many people think about their childhood home as the place where all the things they experienced and learned back then come to mind. Some might consider alligators in their childhood backyard as a way of reminding themselves of behaviors and memories they may not be happy remembering. In your dream, you seem to be saying you’ve moved away from your previous fears or from the possibly dangerous responses you may have become accustomed to in your past. This is a dream where you sound as if you are considering the changes you have made. To give you an example, if my knee-jerk response as a child was to yell when angry, and now I work to step away and think first in these moments, it would make sense that the alligators are letting me pass through. I have moved on. I have either forgiven others for my experience when I felt frightened, or I am no longer attacking myself for behaviors I adopted and considered harmful… or both! For me this is an action dream, full of change and movement from past to present and pointing you toward healthy attitudes going forward. In the plot you are revealing new results from what you would have expected in the past, and I say bravo!
• ROSANNA SCOTTO, Cohost of Good Day New York
The Dream: “I have this recurring dream of moving into a new apartment. It is a rental. I am torn about moving into it because I am living in my current condo... but the rental has a fantastic private pool.” The Interpretation: When a recurring dream happens over a short period of time, it’s meant to grab your attention for a waking-life situation you need to resolve. A recurring dream that happens over a period of years is more like a favorite expression you might use in different situations. Since this dream contains your current condo, it seems more recent and is designed to draw your attention to some important issue in your life right now. Ask yourself what recent waking experience has you feeling “torn” between a situation where you feel satisfied (your current condo) and an alternative that offers one thing that is more. You’re struck by the “fantastic private pool” at the rental. Could the advantage offered by the new situation involve greater privacy? You dreamed about a change in your space, which includes the people. This suggests the possibility your dream could be about a relationship. While the choice might be as simple as changing your manicurist, consider the possibility of it being a friend, a family member, or a business associate. Regardless, this decision seems to be one to pay attention to! When looking for the solution, your decision might be made easier by making the matter smaller. Must you give one up altogether in order to enjoy the other? If the issue concerns someone you know, whether it’s a personal or a professional relationship, you might consider asking for what you need (for example, greater privacy) instead of “moving.” n
