Fran Lebowitz is born
Frances Ann "Fran"
Lebowitz (born October 27, 1950) is an American author and public speaker. Lebowitz is known for her sardonic social
commentary on American life as filtered through her New York City
sensibilities. Some reviewers have called her a modern-day Dorothy Parker.
After being expelled from
high school and receiving a GED, Lebowitz worked in many odd jobs before being
hired by Andy Warhol. Her first book was a collection of essays titled
Metropolitan Life, released in 1978, followed by Social Studies in 1981.
She has been known, in part,
for Exterior Signs of Wealth, about rich people who want to be artists, and
artists who want to be rich. She also
made several appearances on Late Night with David Letterman and had a recurring
role as Judge Janice Goldberg on the television drama Law & Order from 2001
to 2007.
