‘80s satire bound for screen

Donald Trumpet, Broke Faster, Bubbly Waters, Dan Rathernot and dozens of other familiar characters from Joan Kron‘s “Ms. Faux Pas” columns in Avenue magazine in the late 1980s are set to make a comeback on the big screen. IFDC Inc., a film acquisition and financing company in LA, has optioned rights to the columns for a roman à clef featuring Ms. Faux Pas in her various adventures in the fast lane. Kron, a contributor to Condé Nast’s Allure magazine and the mother of well-connected public-relations man Jonathan Marder, was for several years a partner in a family bison ranch in Pennsylvania called Buffalo Belle. “Bison etiquette is not that different from glitterati etiquette,” Kron told Page Six. “Never turn your back on a bison. Retreat slowly, walking backwards. That way you won’t get a horn — or a knife — in the back.”
