![]() ![]() She saw her exit plan on TV news: Instead of being an observer to life events, she wanted to be at the life events. She grew up in a small town and regularly visited hard-partying relatives and a grandmother who stuffed stolen groceries into various folds of her body. Radziwill’s 2005 bestseller “What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship & Love” is the heart-squeezing story of her life before Ramona Singer. ![]() She’s the best thing to happen to the show. In a show famous for posturing, air kisses and one-upmanship, she is the cool girl with a nonchalant shrug. Radziwill is as foreign to the rest of the troop as they are to her with her mastery of Downtown, semi-formal leather short shorts and super casual kinda relationship with one of the Rolling Stones. She’s surprised when no one wants to eat the pizza she planned to order. She wears crooked pigtails and serves inscribed M&Ms at a lunch in her unassuming apartment. She’s the anti-Housewife, actually: Smart, non-judgemental, laid back. A surprised blink, an incredulous “Is this really happening” as a shitshow explodes around her and she ducks for safety behind one of the husbands. ![]() When it comes to manicured talons and wine screeches, Radziwill’s signature move is no move at all. But the new addition to Season 5 of “The Real Housewives of New York” has little in common with her castmates. Carole Radziwill is Bravo TV bait, but only on paper: She’s a 40-something woman with a title, relatively few facial creases, a famous last name and has a limb-by-marriage on the Kennedy family tree. ![]()
