re: #47 MandyManners

Will they go after Ruth?

…Two weeks ago, in a piece entitled “The Loneliest Woman in New York,” the New York Times reported that her usual salon, Pierre Michel, on Manhattan’s tony Upper East Side, had told her not to return for her every-six-weeks blond foil highlights.

Ruth Madoff made a deal with federal prosecutors last week to sell most of the couple’s assets — the $7.5-million co-op and primary residence in Manhattan, the $11-million house in Palm Beach, Fla., the $3-million beach house on Montauk, at the tip of Long Island and, as the Wall Street Journal reported this morning, jewelry insured at more than $2.6 million and two fur coats valued at $48,500. In exchange, the Justice Department agreed to let the 68-year-old woman keep $2.5 million.

Now, the New York Post is reporting that landlords don’t want to rent to Mrs. Madoff, who is shopping for an apartment. She has started using her maiden name, Alpern, but no luck there either.

“She has nowhere to go,” a top broker said. “No one wants someone with her name in their building. People like their privacy.”
