Cindy Adams, New York's Queen of Gossip, Keeps Everyone's Secrets

"You'll have to excuse me, I'm wearing a $10 hairpiece," says Cindy Adams. The 89-year-old grande dame—who is almost as well known for her love of animals as her 40-year-old gossip column—has recently lost a beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Juicy. "I haven't been to the hairdresser; I haven't been anywhere this week. It's awful."

Despite her obvious distress, Adams, whom one journalist recently termed "the last newspaper gossip columnist of the old school in New York," looks smart: dressed in a boucle jacket and sporting a pendant cast by the actor Anthony Quinn (a friend), with her towering chestnut coiffure and perfect makeup, she is regal in bearing. Her plush, nine-room penthouse—a real-estate agent tells me it's "one of the few true must-see Manhattan apartments"—is equally impressive.
