In her Town & Country essay, Carole Radziwill said that Liam Neeson "became the full-fledged fantasy of the widow who falls in love with a widower." She confided in her mother-in-law Lee Radziwill (pictured above left) about her infatuation with Neeson, who called the former head of Paramount Studios to get his number for the RHONY star. She couldn't get a hold of a current number, but Lee — who later died in 2019 — advised Carole to work out at a gym that Neeson belonged to, which Carole didn't end up doing.
When Carole told her friend, Marshall, about her search for Neeson, he said, "Write a story about trying to find him." Even so, she texted Andy Cohen to be a bartender on Watch What Happens Live when Neeson was a guest, which did happen.
Upon reflection of her "faux search" for the actor, Carole realized that even though she "desired a manly man, [she] did not need one." If only that search got documented on Real Housewives of New York, that would have been such a good storyline.
