It's from the sad heart we have to announce that Tabloid gossip queen, Liz Smith, died at the age of 94. She took her last breath at her residence in Manhattan, New York.
Joni Evans, Liz's friend, and the literary agent confirmed the bad news. She worked in the media for more than many years and started her career at the New York Daily news in 1976.
Know for her "the Grand Dame of Dish," the late columnist wasn't that much famous until she wrote a full-blown article regarding Donald Trump and his wife, Ivana Trump divorce.
Her mixer of banter, barbs, and bon mots about the celebrities made her climb the stairs to success. During her peak time, she was earning as much as $1 million per year.
That sum is more than a small gossip columnist can ever earn in a year. For more than 25 years, she was the undisputed queen of gossip and there was no one who could match her expertise in the section.
Her other famous work included Woody Allen and Mia Farrow’s impending parenthood. The best aspect of her job was she never relied on outside information as giving her own opinion on the matter suited her the best.
Big stars like Rob Lowe, Yashar Ali, and Al Roker took to Twitter to pay tribute to the late queen.
