Happy Times by Lee Radziwill (Presentation)
RADZIWILL, Lee. Happy Times. New York: Assouline, 2000.
First edition. Presentation copy, inscribed by Lee Radziwill "with much appreciation" to Melody Miller (1945-2022), a Washington insider and trusted aide to the Kennedy family for over four decades. She met President Kennedy, worked for Bobby Kennedy, and was a senior advisor to Ted Kennedy.
This is Lee Radziwill's illustrated memoir, filled with photos and recollections of family and friends, including her sister, Jackie Kennedy, and brother-in-law, President John F. Kennedy. A princess at the court of Camelot, muse to Truman Capote and Andy Warhol, friend to the Rolling Stones, Lee Radziwill (1933-2019) was at the heart of American politics and culture of the second half of the 20th century. She continues to inspire and influence artists and fashion designers, recently landing on the mood board of Jonathan Anderson, creative director at Dior, who described her as “the epitome of style”.
