Celebrities and the grand dames of New York City’s society pages gathered in New York City Friday to offer their final goodbyes to Liz Smith. The empress of Big Apple gossip passed away on November 12, 2017 and was remembered at a star-studded memorial service on at Broadway’s Majestic Theatre.
In a brief remembrance, “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl said it was impossible to hold a grudge against Smith — unless you were Donald Trump, whose 1992 divorce from first wife Ivana Zelnรญฤkovรก helped Smith make a name for herself.
“Liz forgave everyone and everyone forgave her,” the CBS News veteran said.
