I was fortunate enough to work with the amazing Liz Smith. During my time at WNBC she was nothing short fabulous. Liz passed away at the age of 94 and with her, a piece New York.

Liz Smith was the definition of a lady. She dished, but always found a way to make it entertaining and fun. #RIPLiz https://t.co/Ldz7sKj1zo

I worked with Liz Smith for 8 years at Good Housekeeping. Her transcripts made me a better editor, her technique made me a better journalist (I copy her in nearly every interview I do) and our lunches made me a better human. I will remember and love her always. #Legend

Just heard- Liz Smith is gone. Great broad. Tough cookie. Trailblazer. And under it all, a softie. Known her for 37 years. Will miss her forever.

Liz Smith was my pal. Only gossip writer who knew how to write a kind word. The others would if they could, I suppose. They just don’t know how.
Liz was a lovely woman.
