(Ifoto: Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Izithombe) Ngentsasa yakutshanje kwigumbi lenkomfa elinomgangatho wesihlanu kwiziko lezitena nelitye lekalika iMadison Avenue, intlanganiso kawonke-wonke yebhodi yabizwa ukuba i-odole. Amalungu ohlukeneyo amele uphicotho-zincwadi, ulawulo, iibhulorho kunye namatonela, ezezimali kunye nezinye iikomiti zimamele ngomonde xa uMark Shotkin, olilungu loluntu oluhamba ngenyawo, esenza ingxelo. UJim noAndrew, amaqhina akho mahle kakhulu, waqala, esasaza iswekile encinci ejikeleze igumbi. U-Nancy, eyakho ibhatyi yakho intle kakhulu, wongeze watsho ngentsini uNancy Shevell, usihlalo wekomiti yebhasi. Emva koko wafika kwinqanaba: Molo, wonke umntu, um, inkunkuma kunye nokubhalwa kweqonga kumaqonga noololiwe— lisikizi ngokupheleleyo.
UNkosazana Shevell, omde ngeenwele zamahlungulu ezijikeleza kamnandi ukusuka kwelinye icala ukuya kwelinye, wayenxibe ijezi enemigca engwevu namhlophe, ijini emnyama neembadada, kunye noncumo lokuzonwabisa. Sele usebenze kwi-M.T.A. kangangeminyaka eli-10 — egubungela iirhuluneli ezine — isigqeba esilawula iilori sasicacile ukuba sasisekhaya kwigumbi lokuhlala. Kwakungekho nto ingako ibonisa ukuba uphila into yomzuzu weCinderella-kwibhola kwezi ntsuku. Intombi yaseNew Jersey eyazalwa ngumnini wenkampani yeelori, ngoku uganelwe omnye wamagcisa aphambili okurekhoda, uSir Paul McCartney. Ngaphandle kwentsimbi yokubandakanya idayimani yeCartier solitaire yango-1925 (kwathiwa ibuyisele iBeatle $ 650,000) ekhazimla kwisandla sayo sasekhohlo phantsi kwesibane esibengezelayo, nangona kunjalo, ikamva likaMnumzana McCartney lalibonakala ngathi liyintombazana yaseJersey- umntu ozimeleyo, ikhululekile, intombazana edibeneyo kunye neyenziwe kakuhle eJersey, kodwa kunjalo.
Awuhlangani nenkosana ngaphandle kukathixokazi wasentsomini, kunye no-Ms Shevell's coup coup- angangabi nguJohn Lennon, manenekazi, kodwa ayingoRingo, naye-kuthiwa wenzelwe i-yenta engoyiki kangako Umbono ’UBarbara Walters, obengumzala wakhe wesibini. UBarbara wayeyimfihlo yakhe ngokweemvakalelo kwaye wayedlala umlingisi, utshilo umhlobo wesibini Umjongi . Uye wabanika ipatiya ezininzi zokutya kwaye uhlala eqinisekisa ukumema abantu abaziyo ukuba uPaul uyafuna ukudibana. Umhlobo wongeze ukuba ugqirha wezosasazo ufundise noNkosazana Shevell ngendlela yokuziphatha kumculo, emnceda ukubetha inani labanye abanqwenela iliso likaMnu. McCartney, kubandakanya noRosanna Arquette. Isicwangciso sikaNksz Walters sasicacile: Jonga uHeather Mills, kwaye wenze ngokuchanekileyo ngokuchaseneyo. Bathathe iphepha kulawulo lwakudala baqinisekisa ukuba abazenzi iimpazamo ezifanayo. Phakathi kwezinye izinto ezinobuqili, UNks Shevell wenze inqaku lokunxiba uyilo lukaStella kumaqela ahlukeneyo, eqinisekisa ubuninzi beendaba (U-Ms Mills wenze into efanayo, kodwa uNks Shevell kuthiwa uyenzile ngokunyaniseka nangaphezulu) . Uye wabuya umva xa imithombo yeendaba ishushu. Esi sibini sibalekile kumaphephandaba kwi-Costume Institute Gala, nakwipati yeNew York City Ballet (uSir Paul uye wasebenzisana noPeter Martins ukubhala amanqaku omculo webhaleyi eqala ukuwa), wazama ukubasusa abafoti, omnye uxelelwe Umjongi. Undixelele ukuba akayithandi into yokuba kuthathwe umfanekiso wakhe nabantu angabaziyo, utshilo. Kwaye wakhankanya ukuba akaqhelanga kuthathelwa ingqalelo.
UNks Walters wabuzwa malunga nendima yakhe njengomlingisi. Sisondelene kakhulu, uxelele Umjongi , ngokuthe ngcembe . UNancy ufana nomntwana wesibini kum. Oomakazi bakhe ababini babulawa ngumhlaza. Unobunzima ebomini bakhe.
Ngaphezu koko wayengathethi. Into malunga noNancy kukuba akafuni eli nqaku, UNks Walters wachaza kwi-lisp yakhe edumileyo. Akafuni nto yakwenza nokwazisa. Uhlise isiqwenga ngaphakathi Vogue. Akafuni nto yakwenza nomculo.
Akumangalisi ukuba uMnu. McCartney amthande.
UNancy Shevell wakhulela kusapho lwamaJuda e-Edison, NJ, intombi ephakathi kaMyron kunye no-Arlene Shevell. UMyron ungumnini weNew England Motor Freight (NEMF), inkampani enkulu yokuthutha eyenza ngaphezulu kwe- $ 400 yezigidi kwingeniso yonyaka. Njengomfazi wokuqala kaPaul, uLinda McCartney, u-Arlene walwa nomhlaza wamabele (wasweleka ngo-1991); UNancy ulixhoba lesi sifo.
Sele usebenze kwi-M.T.A. kangangeminyaka eli-10 — egubungela iirhuluneli ezine — isigqeba esilawula iilori sasicacile ukuba sasisekhaya kwigumbi lokuhlala. Kwakungekho nto ingako ibonisa ukuba uphila into yomzuzu weCinderella-kwibhola kwezi ntsuku. |
IiShevells bezikwishishini leelori ukusukela ngeye-1920s, xa ishishini losapho lathutha ukutya kwaselwandle ukusuka kunxweme lwaseNew Jersey ukuya eNew York ( Ubukhosi beBhodiwalk ). Ngexesha lama-1960, u-Myron waqalisa ishishini lakhe nomntakwabo, uDaniel, kodwa babaleka abaphandi bakarhulumente, kwaye ngo-1975 babekwa ityala lobuqhetseba ngezityholo zokubandakanyeka kwi-Mafia. Ityala alizange lisiwe enkundleni, kodwa abazalwana banyanzelwa ukuba banikezele ngenkampani kwaye baphela. Kamva kuloo nyaka uDaniel Shevell, oneminyaka engama-39, wazidubula. Ngo-1988, emva kokuthenga inkampani ye-NEMF eyayizabalaza, u-Myron Shevell watyholwa ngokusebenzisana no-Vincent Gigante, intloko yosapho lolwaphulo-mthetho e-Genovese. Kwabangwa ityala elirhabaxa lokuba uMnu.Shevell wenza intlawulo ngokungekho semthethweni ngembuyekezo kwisivumelwano esasiza kuvumela inkampani yakhe ukuba idlale ngemithetho yomanyano. Kwakhona eli tyala alizange liye enkundleni, kodwa uMnu. Shevell wathintelwa iminyaka emihlanu ukuba angathethi-thethwano ngomanyano.
Ngaphandle kwale ngxaki, uNancy watsaleleka kwishishini losapho. Ngokodliwanondlebe olunye kuphela awakhe walunikwa, ngo-2002 hlala phantsi no INewark Star-Ledger, wayekuthanda xa utata wakhe emzisela iitraki zokudlala njengezipho. Bendihlala ndibabeka umgca egumbini lam, kanye ecaleni kweeBarbies zam, utshilo, esithi, Ngelixa abanye abantwana beyokutyisa amadada epakini, siye kwizitishi zelori zikabawo, kwiindawo ezinjengePennsauken, rhoqo ngeempelaveki.
I-tomboy streak ibonakala ngathi iqhubekile kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, apho uNancy wayedlalela iqela lakhe lebhola ekhatywayo. Umdla wakhe, njengoko wawudwelisiwe kwincwadi yakhe yonyaka we-1977, yayikukuskiya, ukubhabha, iVermont kwaye, ngokungathandekiyo, ziibhulu. Waya kwiYunivesithi yase-Arizona State, apho wayegqwesa kwezothutho-ekuphela komfazi owayesenza njalo-wadibana nowayengumyeni wakhe, igqwetha uBruce Blakeman, ononyana, u-Arlen, oneminyaka eli-19.
Umnumzana Blakeman akakwazanga ukunikela umahluko okhudlwana kubuhle bakhe bangoku. URiphabliki okhutheleyo owacel 'umngeni uKirsten Gillibrand ngo-2010, uMnu Blakeman mhlawumbi waziwa kakhulu ngesibhengezo sezopolitiko esasibonisa inowuthi yenja yakhe ethethayo ngexesha lephulo elifutshane lobusodolophu ngo-2009. Izicwangciso zomtshato zikaShevell, wayenobabalo. Ndinqwenela uNancy noPaul okuhle, kwaye kunjalo. Umama omkhulu kaNancy, kwaye uPaul umphatha kakuhle unyana wam.
UNkosazana Shevell wajoyina inkampani katata wakhe ngo-1983, waba ngu-VP kulawulo ngo-1986. Njengowasetyhini kwishishini eliyindoda elingummangaliso, wabekwa kwinqanaba lakhe. Kwi I-Star-Ledger, Ukhumbule ukungcungcutheka okumangalisayo nomlingane wakhe, esongeza ngokucacileyo, andazi ukuba uphi ngoku kodwa ndiyazi ukuba ndiphi.
UNks. Shevell wonyulwa ukuba asebenze kwi-MT. Ibhodi kwi-2001 ngelo xesha-irhuluneli uGeorge Pataki, isithuba esingahlawulwanga. Nangona ixesha lakhe leminyaka elishumi lafikelela esiphelweni ngoJuni, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku akukho kubonakala ngathi kukho ukungxama ukumthatha.
Ngokwamanye amalungu ebhodi, UNkosazana Shevell uyathandwa ngoogxa bakhe, nangona ephose inani leentlanganiso zanyanga zonke kunye nokuthumela imiyalezo ngokungafihlisiyo kwezinye. Uphefumla ngemicimbi yakhe ye-ajenda ngendlela ethile esebenzayo kunye nokuqonda okuqinisekileyo kweMigaqo yoLawulo lukaRobert. Uhlola umqhubi, uNksk Shevell ngokubanzi uthatha ibhasi eya eMTA.A. Iintlanganiso, uhamba ngeFifth Avenue ukusuka kwigumbi lakhe elikwi-East 83rd Street. Wazise elinye ilungu ebelisakuba lilungu lebhodi, Uya kuthetha kakhulu malunga nokuqhuqha ibhasi ngolwesihlanu kunye nenyaniso yokuba iindlela zangaphantsi zixinene kakhulu ngexesha lokubaleka.
Oko akutsho ukuba ubeyintshatsheli yabakhweli ngexesha leminyaka yakhe ebhodini. Udlalela iqela lenkampani, utshilo uGene Russianoff, osisithethi sexesha elide seStraphanger's Campaign. Ngexesha lokuphatha kwakhe njengosihlalo wekomiti yebhasi, basusa iindawo zokumisa iibhasi ezingama-570, nezikhokelele kwinkonzo embi. Akazange alwe esidlangalaleni nokucuthwa kohlahlo-lwabiwo mali. Akalilo ameva kwicala leM.A.
Imvelaphi yokuthandana kwesi sibini ayifani, ngaphandle kwemizamo yezinye zeendaba ezilungileyo zeFleet Street. (Ewe, uSir Paul, owabizwa ngokuba yiMacca ngamaphepha aseBritane, kutshanje wacebisa ukuba kungenzeka ukuba waqhekezwa nge-imeyile.)
Kuxelwe ukuba ukwazana kwabo kubuyela umva kwiminyaka engama-20, ngenxa yokusondela kwamakhaya abo kwimpelaveki eHamptons. (UNks. Shevell's East Hampton yokuhlala, exabisa i-8 yezigidi zeedola, kuthiwa umhle kakhulu kunoMnumzana McCartney waseAmagansett.
Ukuthandana kwabo kuqala kwaba esidlangalaleni ngo-2007, xa Ilanga uxele ukuba babonwe kwindawo ye-South Fork sushi. Emva koko, ibali eliqatshelweyo, uMacca wabeka ingalo yakhe kuNancy emva kokuba emqhubile wagoduka-kwaye bancamisana. UNks Shevell wayehlukaniswe ngokusemthethweni ngelo xesha, kwaye uMnumzana McCartney wayexakeke kukuzikhulula kulwalamano lwakhe olunengxaki noNksk. Mills.

Ii-tabloids zikwatsho ngokuphefumla kuhambo lwendlela abaluthatha ngehlobo lowama-2008 kwiNdlela 66 ewela amazwe asixhenxe nge-'89 Ford
Bronco, kunye nelinye ijele eliya eAnguilla emva kokubhubha kukaNancy umntakwabo omdala, uJon, ngenxa yokusetyenziswa gwenxa kweziyobisi, kunye noNeil Aspinall, umphathi wendlela yeBeatles.
Ukuzibandakanya kwesi sibini kwabhengezwa nge-6 kaMeyi kulo nyaka. Umtshato uya kuba seLondon-umcimbi ophantsi (njengoko ezi zinto zihamba) kunye nabahlobo abambalwa kunye namalungu osapho abakhoyo.
Kwaye emva koko? UNks Shevell ucatshulwe ngu INew York Post besithi uyakuthanda ukuhlala apha eNew York kodwa ukuba baya kuphelela eNgilani. Kulapho ibali linokwahluka khona kwiintsomi eziqhelekileyo. Ngaphandle kobutyebi bukaSir Paul obabungaphaya kweebhiliyoni zeerandi, udume ngokungqinela. (Umthombo osondeleyo kwesi sibini waphawula nge-eye-roll ukuba ngexesha lokuthandana kwabo, uNancy uhlala ezithengela amatikiti akhe e-UK) Ilifa lakhe ePeasmarsh, eSussex, linokumiselwa kwii-1,500 iihektare ngezizathu zabucala, kodwa akunjalo ibhotwe nangaluphi na uhlobo. Ngaphezu koko, ikwanti. UNks Shevell unokulindela ubusuku obuninzi ubukele umhlola.
Kwaye xa ephuma, imithombo ithi, uya kuyenzela umsebenzi. Ukuzithemba, abasetyhini abazimeleyo abaza apha nemali abayi kuba nabahlobo abaninzi, walumkisa uHelen Kirwan-Taylor, intatheli yaseMelika enomyeni oqhuba ingxowa mali yeedolophu eLondon. Into yokugqibela onokuba yiyo apha isoyikisa abanye abantu basetyhini. Izinto ezivula iingcango eNew York zazivalela eNgilane.
Emva kwe M.T.A. Intlanganiso, UNks Shevell uxelele Umjongi ukuba akazange aqonde ukuba yintoni yonke le ngxabano. Ayisiyiyo loo nto inomdla, utshilo. Ayifani nomtshato wakhe wokugqibela, owawukhona ngokwenene umdla. Ndineminyaka engaphezu kwama-50. Ndiyasebenza. Yiyo leyo. Andizange ndihlalisane kwaye ndineqela elincinci lamantombazana. Ngokwenene akukho nto ingako inokuthetha ngayo.
Wancuma, etyhalela emnyango engena eMadison Avenue — mhlawumbi esebusuku.
