Radar reports on an unfortunate photo error by The New York Post:
Yesterday, the Post ran a story about Jane Larkworthy, breathlessly labeling W's beauty director "the Helen of Troy of the Peter Braunstein case, the face that launched a thousand courtroom shrinks, the high-powered magazine executive who crushed his heart, propelling him into the violent insanity for which he goes on trial today." (Larkworthy dumped Braunstein, who allegedly went on to take captive and molest one of her former coworkers in October 2005.)
Unfortunately, the woman pictured with the article was not Larkworthy but Jane Keltner, Teen Vogue's fashion news director. (The Post's claim that Larkworthy would testify today was also incorrect.)
Perhaps aware of its mistake, the paper dispatched a photographer yesterday to stake out Larkworthy's apartment building. But he, too, seemed to have only a vague idea of what his quarry looked like. Andrea Nierenberg, a marketing executive who bears a passing resemblance to Larkworthy, was walking down the sidewalk near her office when someone pointed out a man in a car who had been taking her photo. When she confronted the man with the camera, he identified himself as a Post staffer and demanded, "Aren't you Jane Larkworthy?"
Keep trying, guys.
