Richard Durrell, Founding Publisher of People, is Dead at 82
March 10th, 2008
A memorial service is planned for April 5th in Fairfield, CT. After his retirement from Time Inc., during a 1987 interview, Durrell summed up the story of People from a circulator’s perspective in a mere half-dozen words, “The sales far exceeded our expectations.” The cover of the 1974 national launch issue, featuring Mia Farrow, appears at left.
