Dorothy Kilgallen was not available for comment.

If she was, she'd be 110 years old.

She was famous for her drinking; an old issue of Mad Magazine parodied her as Dorothy Killfifth. (As in a fifth of liquor, 4/5ths of a quart for you younger liter-lovers)

I’m not young by any means but didn’t know that. I’ve heard “fifth” all my life but never being a drinker didn’t know exactly what quantity it was.
