"Which brings us to the subject of her extraordinary candor. Madeline is a Savonarola of style, a latter-day prophet, a magnificent messianic figure, inveighing against the hypocrisies of our time (to borrow a phrase from Paddy Chayefsky). In the decorator demimonde of air kisses and other artificial niceties, Madeline calls it like she sees it, ever steadfast in her belief that style untethered to substance is meaningless." — Mayer Rus
