Doris Lilly was a newspaper columnist known for her enormous range of celebrity acquaintances and her book How to Marry a Millionaire and How to Make Love in Five Languages. She wrote a society column that ran in the New York Post three times a week from 1958 to 1968. Her 1951 book became the basis of a Marilyn Monroe movie of the same title. Thirty years later, working on a sequel, "How to Meet a Billionaire," she commented, "A million dollars isn't much money these days. You can't even get a decent house for that."
