It's no secret, she's my favorite person to have ever lived. For the last 20 years of her life she worked as an editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday. Have you read any books edited by her? I have THE FRENCHWOMAN’S BEDROOM Mary-Sargent Ladd and TO THE INLAND EMPIRE: CORONADO AND OUR SPANISH LEGACY Stewart L. Udall. Happy Reading! 1976

Ive read THE LAST TSAR: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF NICHOLAS II Edvard Radzinsky, IN THE RUSSIAN STYLE and BOMBSHELL: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JEAN HARLOW. Yes, she was very stylish and I enjoyed these books that she edited.

That's quite an impressive list! Of course, she was an impressive woman!
I have to say she was one of the women that I have admired the most in my life.
I also love Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana, Mary Tyler Moore. Living, I love Marlo Thomas, Betty White, Doris Day -- well, there are a few more.
I will have to go through your listing when I have more time!
Thanks for posting this!

Your post made me curious about her life as an editor, and I see there is a book about that very thing, @JBKO
I expect you own a copy! I might need to get one, too.

@GingerPeach I should get the book because I don't know what the editor does. At first I thought they read the book before going to publication and caught grammatical errors; now I'm wondering if they work with the author during the writing process.

Hi @AuntG
They do work closely with authors. They need to know author's intent, what they are trying to convey, and more, so that the editor knows best how to help polish the book. I think it would be fascinating to be an editor. In reviews of this book, it says all the authors she worked with had high praise for her. I don't think I would have expected anything different from her!
