An ex-employee of uber-flacks Lizzie Grubman and Peggy Siegel tells all (without the de rigeur half-million dollar book advance.) Ellen Finnigan's commentary on Peggy: "The people she knew no longer knew her, or let on that they did, but because she was such a publicity powerhouse for so many years, her name was still an asset to the company... Krissie [another assistant] would actually tell me some pretty good stories, like the one about Peggy using an enormous sum of client money to buy herself another facelift and the ordeal that ensued. I began to see the innards of the place and was absolutely terrified of Peggy."
