One last zinger: Dorothy Parker’s headstone unveiled in NYC

NEW YORK — Dorothy Parker died in 1967, but it was not until last year that her ashes found a final resting place. Born in 1893 in New York, Parker wrote poems, short stories and theater and literary reviews for magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker. After much wrangling, the NAACP agreed with Parker’s relatives to relocate the ashes to New York as the organization moved its headquarters to Washington. “This is finally her homecoming to her beloved New York City,” Kevin Fitzpatrick, president of the Dorothy Parker Society, told the newspaper.
