Media-Whore D'Oeuvres



"Mr. (Dominick) Dunne's appearance was also something that stood out for Ms. (Joan) Rivers. 'He always looked like an unmade bed,' she said. "He was always rumpled and he always looked like what he was, which was a writer. You could never call him spiffy.' Ms. Rivers ran into Mr. Dunne on the street about eight weeks ago, on East 62nd between Madison and Park. He was coming one way; she going another. They talked about his TV show on Court TV (now TruTV), but not his health, though he did not look well, Ms. Rivers said. She asked him how the show was going. He told her he got renewed for another season. 'I love every minute of it,' he told her. 'And they're paying me very well. What I adored about him was that he loved being on television,' Ms. Rivers said. Someone walking by said to Mr. Dunne, 'Love your program! Love you!' He seemed to enjoy this. 'He loved being stopped on the street at a time when he was fighting cancer and he was going through such bad months in his private life and walking on his way to chemo.'" (Observer)
