Cosmopolitan Magazine’s famous editor Helen Gurley Brown has died, reports the Baltimore Sun:
The iconic editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, with its bosomy Cosmo girls on the cover dripping with pearls and promising pleasure, died Monday at the age of 90 after a brief illness. She had reported to her pretty, pink corner office in the Hearst Building in Manhattan almost daily until her death.
“It would be hard to overstate the importance … of her success… with Cosmopolitan,” said a statement from Hearst Corporation, the magazine’s publisher. “Helen was one of the world’s most recognized magazine editors and book authors, and a true pioneer for women in journalism — and beyond.”
