Flinty McGee/Florence Deroot
* Flinty McGee- 35, the holy arbiter of the new A-list. A party publicist who is getting to be the age when the party should be for her.
* Florence Deroot- 35, old man Pfeiffer's mistress. Full of pretension and desperate to hold on to her powerful place beside Mr. Pfeiffer. In later life she invents the window treatment (Played by the same actor who plays Flinty McGee.)
Penny Nercessian/Betina Brevoort
* Penny Nercessian- 40, Sid's second wife. A beautiful Asian woman, Penny is the world's leading party manufacturer. She has perfect taste, and Sid makes it possible for her to exercise it.

Caroline Nercessian/Mary Gallagher
* Caroline Nercessian- 18, a graduate of Manhattan's Dalton School and would-be singer. If Ovid is naive, there is nothing that Caroline hasn't seen or done. She lives in a perpetual show me state.
