Fred called and said I had to pick up Lynn Wyatt, that the limo would be at my house at 8:00. The Saturday newspapers were great. There was the bathtub murders, the guy says he kills things and doesn't remember--things like his wife and daughter--and that it used to happen to him with animals, too, that she'd wake up and look around and they'd be dead. And the full Barry Landau story, how he's Miz Lillian's best friend and he's going down to Washington to testify again.
Left the office at twenty to 8:00 and when I got uptown the limo was already waiting there (cab $5.50). So I went in an glued and Lynn Wyatt called and said that Jerry Zipkin was having cocktails first, at 95th and Park, and I told her it was Harlem. But we went up there.
Then we went to the St. Regis where Francois de Menil was having his thirty-first birthday party bash and we went up to the roof. Francois had his new girlfriend from Texas there. And some of his old girlfriends, too. Lynn wanted to be at the table with Diana Vreeland and Fred. And Francois's older brother, George, who keeps a low profile.
Bob Wilson was there, he's dating the Schlumberger girl from Washington, Katy Jones. Little Nell was there, the English dancer. Aileen Mehle was there. It was an okay party. There was no big movie star or rock star there, it was just in a funny way all his friends.
Lynn couldn't come down to 860 to see her portrait, she was going to Paris the next day.
