- Life of Staggering Riches and Drama
It is astonishing how quickly you become engrossed in "Gilded Lily: Lily Safra: The Making of One of the World's Wealthiest Widows." The best way to describe this book is to quote the trenchant blurb on the dust jacket from quintessential society scribe, Dominick Dunne. "Isabel Vincent has written a riveting account of the life of the international socialite and billionairess Lily Safra. .. She understands the lives of the very, very rich It is a good read. He penned those words shortly before his death last fall, just as he finished his own novel, "Too Much Money," that also delves into the ascension of the cunning and fabled hostess. He is right.

- Fiction Posing As Fact
You've done a disservice to your readers in presenting a portrait of Lily Safra on the basis of Isabel Vincent's book, "Gilded Lily: Lily Safra: The Making of One of the World's Wealthiest Women," which is fiction masquerading as "biography" ("Life of staggering riches and drama," Aug. 6). Far from the investigative journalism that your reviewer was fooled into swallowing as "scrupulously researched and well-written," the book is a shabby attempt to sell books at any expense - including that of the facts. Ms. Vincent interviewed neither Mrs. Safra nor anyone close to her, talking only to those who helped her create the supposed mystery and intrigue. The facts show there isn't any room for doubt about the events she tries to distort. From beginning to end, the author piles baseless specu...

- Nih Celebrates Safra
It takes a coffee-table book to enumerate Lily Safra's largess in 18 countries around the world. The list of approximately 250 projects funded by the foundation named in honor of her husband, the late international banker Edmond J. Safra, doesn't even tell the entire story since "The Gilded Lily," as she is known in British tabloids, contributes to additional causes from a personal fortune estimated between $1 billion to $3 billion. The Brazilian-born benefactress has kept a low profile since Mr. Safra's death in a mysterious fire in their Monte Carlo penthouse five years ago (a male nurse later admitted to the crime) and now- settled lawsuits with family members over his estate. Recent press coverage focuses more on her philanthropy, or her fabulous real estate holdings in New York (wh...

- Restraining Order Placed Against Seacrest Stalker
LOS ANGELES -- A judge has granted a civil restraining order against a man accused of stalking Ryan Seacrest. The order issued Tuesday requires Chidi Benjamin Uzomah Jr. to stay 100 yards away from the radio and television personality. A criminal court judge granted a similar order against Uzomah earlier this month. The 25-year-old remains in a Los Angeles jail, charged with felony stalking. He was arrested outside Seacrest's workplace on Oct. 30, just weeks after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in Orange County, Calif., stemming from an incident with Seacrest's bodyguard after an event.
