Lena Dunham making TV series based on Bergdorf’s personal shopper
Lena Dunham of “Girls” may seem to have little in common with 85-year-old Bergdorf Goodman personal shopper Betty Halbreich, but they’ve come together to work on a comedy series for HBO based on Halbreich’s life. Some of their comments during a brunch panel Sunday at the New Yorker Festival may presage what is to come -- Halbreich: “I’m wearing a panty girdle.” Dunham: I’ve never worn a panty girdle.” Halbreich: “I know!” (Audience laughs).
