Summary)
IT could have been awkward whenBetsy Bloomingdale
was introduced toRebecca De Mornay the other night,but
it wasn't - because Betsy is a classy lady. The actress
nervously told the Beverly Hills society matriarch
that she played the character based on Vicky Morgan,
the mistress of Betsy's husband Alfred, in the movie
"An Inconvenient Woman." But Betsy didn't
blink. Readers of Dominick Dunne's roman clef will
remember that after Alfred's death in 1982, Betsy
cut off Morgan without a dime. Betsy graciously defused
things by saying, "I'm happy to meet you, Rebecca,
my grandchildren will be so impressed." The two
were seated on either side of the guest of honor,
Amy Fine Collins, who was in a rainy and cold L.A.
to plug her book, "The God of Driving."
Also bonding over black truffle risotto, sauteed turbot
and Mumm Brut Rose Champagne were Selma Blair (she's
marketing a line of belts); Jacqui Getty (daughter-in-
law ofGordon and Ann); Michelle Reiner, wife of Rob
("Meathead") Reiner; Angela Janklow (in
the process of divorcing Gerald Harrington); fashion
retailer Tracee Ross, and Krista Smith,Collins' colleague
at Vanity Fair. At that night's book signing at Laurie
Frank's Media Rare Gallery, the surprise guest was
designer James Galanos accompanied by his long ago
muse, Betsy Pickering Theodoracopulos Kaiser, and
her husband [Michael Ault].
