From "Chloe Malle steps into Anna Wintour’s shoes at US Vogue/The fashion doyenne has stepped back from the day-to-day US Vogue editorship. Chloe Malle, the daughter of Candice Bergen and Louis Malle, has been confirmed as her replacement" (London Times).
The headline on the home page of The Times calls Chloe Malle "the daughter of Hollywood Royalty." Imagine having such parents! But I'd like also to see "the granddaughter of Hollywood Royalty," so I went looking and found "She’s No Dummy: Chloe Malle, Daughter of Candice Bergen, Granddaughter of Edgar, New Editor of Vogue Magazine" (Showbiz 411). It would be wonderful to have a grandfather who was a comic puppeteer, but Edgar died 7 years before Chloe was born.
Imagine being jealous of a puppet! That reminds me, the Criterion Channel is now featuring the movie "The Beaver," with Mel Gibson and a beaver puppet. Jodie Foster is jealous of the puppet:

Hollywood Royalty is one of those BS phrases intended to disguise one's uselessness.
Not much aura or resemblance to her mother or maternal grandmother. Regression to the mean hits every branch hard.
That’s the best story I’ve read in a while. Somebody let some journalism slip in…
The unnamed are also correct- she’s Steve Jobs-like irreplaceable. There will be something else but it won’t be what was…
"Hollywood royalty" is the lowest caste in the onlyfans empire.
“…Anna is still very much in control.” This is very much a dummy position.
Murphy Brown wasn't that big.
I love it when Althouse does “The Weave.”
It's still going to be Vogue, which is leftist trash.
"I love it when Althouse does “The Weave.”"
Unlike Trump, I don't return to the original topic. I just publish and wait for another new post to happen.
I'd never heard of this movie but... to my great surprise, I think I want to watch it!
Chloe always sounds like a scientific term for some lady bits. That said, Candice Bergen was at peak hotness in the Sand Pebbles.
The "puppets" tag is so LOL worthy.
Let's see if the new editor dares to put the most beautiful First Lady in history on the Vogue cover. None of the other "fashion" rags will. If Vogue does, I predict it will be the single largest selling issue ever.
Hollywood is a terrible place full of terrible people.
Movies are going to get much better over the next decade. More and more people will have tools to create and there will be an explosion of creativity.
Most of the movies will be garbage because AI still reflects the talent level of its prompter.
But there will be some that are good. I am looking forward to the rewrite of the Star Wars series by fans.
…used to be if you didn’t get to Al Forno before they open you end up waiting for a table in and around the foyer for a long time. There’s usually people from Brown waiting, too. People from Brown are weird…
If you were married to Jodie Foster, you'd also be on the lookout for some new beaver.
Bullshit, Achilles. Hollywood is mostly blue collar, craftsmen and artists. The terrible people are the moneychangers who run the place and make up less than 0.01%. You must be really stupid to condemn working class folks working paycheck to paycheck.
If Vogue does [put Melania on it's cover], I predict it will be the single largest selling issue ever.
But you see, Vogue and the rest are very committed to keeping their appeal... selective.
Actually - didn't we hear, a week or so ago, that Vanity Fair was talking with Melania? Or am I hallucinating?
Also, fan driven content is schlock and mindless drivel. Perfect content for low IQ mouth breathers.
Hollywood is a union town- lots of em. The service people, the line cooks, waiters, discount hookers might live payday to payday but that’s about it…
Hollywood is mostly blue collar, craftsmen and artists.
The crew people know they're just normal people. The "artists" are not always worthy of the name (ok, some of the pretty ones also have talent), and I think you're right that they're primarily not college-educated - but the more successful they are at bringing the eyeballs, the more they are hammered with the message that they're somehow important. And too often they believe it, and generalize it to areas of endeavor about which they know nothing. Been Affleck, I'm talking to you...
Isn't it refreshing when we hear of an "artist" who knows she is just a normal person with a particular talent or skill, not a demigod?
All the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas.
Imagine being jealous of your beaver.
Wintour's haircut is terrible. I've never seen anyone follow that fashion.
Glossy fashion magazines are for losers.
I hope Wintour gave bigly to Kamala. lol.
Glossy fashion magazines are for elderly leftist harridans waiting in the Target checkout line featuring cover after cover of Sidney Sweeney for them to fume over before buying them all. Yes...losers.
Glossy Magazines are so... Hunger Games.
Vapid garish fashion for rich celebs.
Wintour's haircut is terrible.
…a dude gets paid big money to do that…
A lot of the stars and movers and shakers in Hollywood are terrible people. To be fair, though, so were many great 19th century novelists. Also, Hemingway and Fitzgerald weren't especially exemplary in their private lives....There are some exceptions, but as a general rule one's worth as creative artist is inversely proportional to one's worth as a moral entity.
The cover of Vogue has been devalued by putting people like Jill Biden on it. If it were offered to Melania, she could rightly refuse.
Free speech is the theme of the day.
The puppet allowed Mel to say what was really on his mind.
It was the drunken puppet that got him into that fight with the LA cops.
Vogue died with Andre Leon Talley. But ... racism ... and homophobia ... so let's just say Anna Wintour.
I don't think Edgar Bergen qualifies as Hollywood royalty. He was definitely part of the aristocracy, but he wasn't a prince of the blood. Candice was a sitcom star. Also aristocracy, but not of the first order. If she was seated next to Grace Kelly or Sophia Loren, you wouldn't notice her......I read somewhere that Clark Gable had a daughter with Loretta Young. That child would qualify as Hollywood royalty, but she was born on the wrong side of the sheets. She got some bit parts on the Perry Mason show and then became a therapist........I guess Jane Fonda qualifies as royalty, but I haven't heard about any of her children.
froideur... Does that mean that she is a real hoopy frood?
"froideur... Does that mean that she is a real hoopy frood?"
I never see her with a towel.
I think it means she is part of the movement violently opposed to the policies of King Louis IV.
I didn't read that headline quote correctly at all the first time...
"The Beaver" was Mel Gibson's come back movie after he was banned for saying drunk what Tucker Carlson gets paid millions to say.
I like much of what Mel Gibson has done. That particular drunk rant was not one of my favorites.
A ventriloquist is touring and one night he’s doing a show in a club in a small town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual act including his repertoire of dumb blonde jokes.
Suddenly a blonde woman in the middle of the crowd stands up and starts shouting at the stage.
“I’ve heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way?”
“What does the colour of a person’s hair have to do with her worth as a human being?”
“It’s men like you that keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person. Because you and men like you continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general, and all in the name of humour!”
The embarrassed ventriloquist starts to stutter an apology when the blonde yells, “You stay out of this, mister! I’m talking to that little shit on your knee.”

It reminds me of Anton Chigurh's in "No Country for Old Men"
Nobody's got nothing on Greta Thunberg's latest do
. Everyone's calling her Princess Farquaad.
No kings!!
Thunbergmania!
So she relinquished being the editor-in-chief of US Vogue, but she isn't really leaving because her supposed replacement will be "head of editorial content," a deliberate re-titling that sounds more diminished. It's as if she wants to tell the world that she's irreplaceable and is still pulling the strings. So classic Boomer.
I remember when Vogue would not stoop to putting a movie star or political figure on the cover. The cover was ONLY for models, the very top models.
That ended in 1988, when Wintour took over.
Before I went to law school, I had a job in market research that required me to read magazines, and Vogue was one of the magazines I read every month. That was back when it was a larger size too. What it is now just seems like trash. What an impression it made back in the early 1970s, but even then it was considered to have made a step down (from the Diana Vreeland era, which ended in 1971).
I was made to watch "Devil Wears Prada" once with my wife, and I have seen her watching it many times on Netflix or whatever since then.
If the antagonist in that movie mirrors the demeanor of the real Wintour, how on earth did she ever get anyone to work for her? I doubt I would have lasted twenty minutes before telling her she could go do to herself what I'm sure her husband wouldn't.
Because those who know—understand fashion is a multibillion dollar industry that employs millions of people and Anna Wintour is one of the most powerful and influential people.
The real money in fashion is in design and advertising. The money used to be in the print magazines because those pages were so highly prized. But now they’re one of many forms of advertising (although I’d argue a particularly effective one).
Jonathan Newhouse’s wife Ronnie deliberately stays inside/out the tent, allowing her to earn millions styling ads and brands for their coverage in the Conde Nast etc magazines or - often as important - the Vogue imprimatur as distilled through the magazines, websites and Instagram.
Wintour’s main achievement has been to merge the world of fashion with the world of celebrities and pop culture
The outcome from a creative perspective is dubious but fashion is an industry that needs exposure.
She also sponsored very good stylists like Grace Coddington or Tonne Goodman or very good photographers like Peter Lindberg or Demarchelier.
Hollywood is a terrible place full of terrible people.
Very much so. A sewer from top to bottom. Some of the most damaged, awful people on the planet.
I remember when my beautiful, sassy little daughter was five or six years old, and being petted and cooed over by some new female acquaintances of my wife. One of them had some connection with showbiz or fashion, I forget the details, and was saying my wife ought to take her into a modeling or talent agency and try to get her involved in that world.
I think my "over my dead body" response shocked her, and we never saw them again.
Bridget Fonda (Peter's kid) did a good turn in a La Femme Nikita knock off called Point of No Return. She retired from acting a couple of decades ago.
well that was the account of one of her editorial interns, but it seems to be true to life,
"Froideur" gives me a frisson.
Oh, I meant "frotteur."

Give Wintour props. She’s the J. Edgar Hoover of fashion. Almost 40 years calling the shots.
