Francine du Plessis Gray is an American writer, author of popular biography books. Daughter of Tatyana Yakovleva, Mayakovsky’s last love, and the French Viscount Bertrand du Plessis, stepdaughter of Alexander Lieberman, artist and legendary publisher of glamor magazines of the Condé Nast empire. “They” is an honest story, written with pain and passion, of two extraordinary personalities, Tatyana Yakovleva and Alex Lieberman . Russian emigrants who became the most brilliant socialite couple in New York in the 1950s-1970s. They were admired, they were fawned over, their friendship was sought. They managed to create a beautiful glossy legend out of their love story and most of all they feared that someone would destroy the result of these efforts. Was it possible to imagine that this person would be his beloved and only daughter? But by talking about their weaknesses, their desire to always “keep their backs,” Francine made the Lieberman couple more humane and touching. And isn't this a continuation of their story?
