Graydon Carter Thinks Toby Young Is Obsessed
As the film version of ”How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” slouches towards post-production, the friction between Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter and his biggest staffing mistake, Toby Young, is still going strong. From yesterday’s New York Times:
”Asked whether Mr. Young accurately captured the Vanity Fair milieu in his memoir, Mr. Carter responded in an e-mail message, ‘Not really.’ As for Mr. Young’s portrayal of the magazine as the epitome of the American obsession with celebrity, Mr. Carter wrote, ‘I think he is the one obsessed.’ Finally, Mr. Carter, who has joked that the best actor to play the short Mr. Young was Verne Troyer, Mini-Me of the ‘Austin Powers’ canon, said that Mr. Young would not get into the Waverly Inn, his restaurant in Greenwich Village, because ‘There is a height requirement.”’
