➽ Maryanne Trump Barry (Donald Trump’s sister): Roy got the White House to give her her judgeship. Roy was out and the call came in to tell her she got it. I took the call and called her to tell her. Ten minutes later, Donald called to say thank you.
➽ Roger Stone: Worked with Roy very heavily before and after elections. He was the one, with Roy, to find out the dirt on [Geraldine] Ferraro. Roger did not like Donald Trump or Si Newhouse — told me they were losers — but if Roy used them, he would, too. His wife’s name is Bitsy. Roy called them Itsy and Bitsy. Roy was very fond of Roger, and I think he saw a little of himself when he was younger. [Reached for comment, Stone denied all of this. “I never said Trump was a loser.
Why would I say that?”]
➽ Ed Rollins (Reagan campaign adviser) and Lyn Nofziger (White House adviser): Whenever Roy needed an appointment at the White House, that’s who he called. Roy was in constant touch with these two during both elections.
➽ George Steinbrenner: He got snotty when you didn’t recognize his voice immediately. So what was one to do? I always asked, “Who’s calling, please?” and listened to him scream.
➽ Charles Wick (director of U.S. Information Agency): Roy put Barbara Walters in touch with him, and that’s how she was introduced to the White House crowd.
➽ Steve Rubell: When he and Ian [Schrager] were in jail, Steve would call me at home — collect — and since I had a conference phone … I would connect Steve to whoever he wanted to talk to. Once he called Liza Minnelli, who was staying at Halston’s house out on L.I., and they were talking about her song “New York, New York” and how she was furious with Frank Sinatra. “Mine is so much better” … With Steve calling me every night I had to laugh because … there was an article in New York Magazine about Steve calling people and the A-, B-, and C-list. Which list was everyone on? I certainly was on the A-plus-list — I connected him to these people.
➽ Rupert Murdoch: Whenever Roy wanted a story stopped, item put in, or story exploited — i.e., Ferraro and her family — Roy called Murdoch. Roy was also Rupert’s attorney.
➽ Paul Laxalt (senator from Nevada): 60 Minutes was going to be doing a story on him, not favorable … Roy called the producer of 60 Minutes and had it taken out of their schedule.
➽ Gloria Vanderbilt: One day, she called me [looking for] the attorney Tom Andrews. She said, “This is Gloria Vanderbilt.” I said, “Tom isn’t in — may I please take a message?” She again repeated, “This is Gloria Vanderbilt,” so my dander got up, and I said, “How do you spell that?” … She slammed the phone down and I later heard she demanded that I be fired. Roy just laughed. He loved it when you gave them what they deserved.
➽ The Kennedys: Roy hated them … but Roy was going to finally get even when Aristotle Onassis came to see him to handle his divorce from Jackie. But he died before anything could be done.
