“The most famous story about Andy Stein concerns a summer day in the late ‘70s, when he was at the beach in the Hamptons with a certain real estate heiress. The heiress went for a swim, only to be caught in an undertow. She called for help, but Stein remained on the shore, pointing to the top of his head. The heiress kept calling for help, but Stein just kept pointing. Finally, others dove in. She returned to shore safely, no thanks to Stein, who apparently would have let her drown rather than doff the toupee.” [NYDN]
