Diana Nyad spoke with film producer Teddy Schwarzman last Thursday at his sister Zibby’s bookstore. Teddy founded and now presides over Black Bear Pictures, one of the production companies involved with NYAD. Teddy’s sister opened her bookshop a year ago in a high-end Santa Monica shopping district.
(Teddy and Zibby’s father, financier Stephen Schwarzman, is the chairman and CEO of the Blackstone Group. As of February 27, 2024, he’s worth 37.9 billion USD, up about 400 million since Diana spoke with his son.)
Here are a few of the absurdities and lies Diana served at Zibby’s bookshop last week.
