Actually. Coco would have to look far for a closer think-alike. "In essence, they're similar." Lerner says. "Both women are extraordinarily independent and vulnerable and feminine.

When the Duke of Westminster proposed, her rejection was a classic: "There have been several Duchesses of Westminster-but there is only one Chanel." She seems to have had second thoughts, however.

The attitude of the young in this country is different now from what it was even ten years ago. It's trite, but I think we tend to live dangerously, take more chances.
