The former editor and his wife talk glamour, games and Electragrams
For a man whose career was so concerned with celebrity – projecting it, charting its ups and downs, occasionally skewering it, and wrangling it for the year’s most luminous party – it is strangely absent from the country home Graydon Carter shares with his wife, Anna Scott Carter, in bucolic Roxbury, Connecticut.
“Flea markets are my favourite things in life,” Carter tells me when we meet one afternoon as summer is just beginning to fade into autumn. Anna is petite – even more so beside her expansive husband – and laughs readily. She is adept at manoeuvring Graydon toward his better anecdotes, and gives the impression of never putting a foot wrong.
Even with his fitness regimen, Carter, now 73, and occasionally redolent of tobacco, no longer has the energy of his prime, he admits. Still, don’t count on the Carters joining the supposed exodus of New Yorkers to Miami. “We hate Florida. We call it the Paraguay of America,” he assures me, speculating hopefully that Manhattan’s empty shops will eventually be filled by enterprising young people. A city needs youth, he says.
Perhaps the greatest oddity is the recently arrived Peloton cycle. It sits by the window, looking forlorn. “Just as everyone else is trying to get rid of them,” Anna laughs. “Your timing is impeccable.”Carter bought his first Connecticut house on the morning of the 1987 stock market crash. A nearby lake reminded him of his native Canada, and allowed him to indulge his boyhood love of fishing and canoeing.
