I'd rather focus on her literary and political work than her appearance, and plan to return to this thread later on that point, but yes, she does serve as a caution to overindulgence in drink and smoke. Fetching in her youth, though: <https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/dorothy_parker_1050x700-1050x699.jpg https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03...> On politics: the article briefly mentions her assistance to Martin Luther King, Jr. For quite some time her remains were interred at the NAACP's headquarters, to be reinterred when the NAACP moved from Baltimore to Washington, DC. In a collection of short stories I'd read recently I was struck by several which touched on race and racism. One involved what we'd now probably call a "Karen", making increasingly effusive, and non-credible, claims to race-blindness. The character's dialogue was absolute cringe, and this was obviously intentional on Parker's part.
