Friends (and probably a foe or two) remembered super publicist Bobby Zarem at a memorial at Michael’s Monday night, with loved ones fondly recalling his kindness, clout -— and chutzpah.

Alec Baldwin, who said he’d wanted to be there for the bash, sent a note to be read out. He remembered the time in the late Eighties when Zarem took a meeting with him at famed haunt Elaine’s, and offered to take care of his PR for a brain-rattling $30,000-a-month, offering him “real peace of mind” in return. Baldwin said he nearly spat out his soup. “Isn’t that worth $30,000 a month?,” Zarem asked him.

Baldwin said Zarem was “intelligent [and] a mensch, all wrapped up inside a near-Foghorn Leghorn Southern man.” He added, “I don’t doubt that right now he is offering God a rate of $30,000-a-month to represent him.

Supermodel Christy Turlington remembered “falling in love over baseball” with Zarem when she met him on the dancer floor at the Rainbow Room soon after she moved to New York, and spending nights at opera and the symphony on his arm. She also said that he helped her transition from modelling into philanthropy, starting her on her way to some of her most meaningful work.

Meanwhile gossip legends Rush and Molloy paid tribute to his acidic side by reviewing the glittering list of “people he hated.” It included a certain publicist who, while working for Zarem, was given the task of clipping his toenails, but: “Got tired of his toes and left one night with his Roladex. Allegedly.” Another was renowned gossip columnist Liz Smith.

Hollywood manager Jason Weinberg recalled that while he was working for Zarem right after college, he didn’t get to FedEx in time to have an important video tape overnighted from Memphis, Tennessee, to “Entertainment Tonight’s” offices.

“I get to FedEx, and they’re closed,” he said, “[Zarem] talks to some people, and he goes, ‘It’s handled.’ I go, ‘What did you do?’ He goes, ‘I called the owner of FedEx and got them to send an extra plane. So basically, Fred Smith, who owns FedEx, gave Bobby a private plane for this one Betamax tape.”

Also there: Ann Dexter Jones, Colin and Elizabeth Callender, actresses Patti D’Arbanville, Melissa Errico and Linda Janklow, Kim Garfunkel, Art’s wife, former Ranger Jeff Jackson, Patrick McEnroe, actor Andrea Boccaletti, Page Six vet Richard Johnson, journalist Roger Freidman, “Gatecrasher” author Ben Widdicome, “We Are Not Like Them” author Jo Piazza (with her plus-one in utero), producer Andrew Muscato and author Dana Thomas, among others.

The hosts were Bill Augustin, Elizabeth and Colin Callender, Jon Furay, Vic Garvey, Lisa Kaminsky, Joanna Molloy and George Rush, Bonnie Timmermann, and Weinberg 

Zarem died in his native Savannah, Georgia, at 84 in September 2021. He represented a litany of A Listers and, along with designer Milton Glaser, was responsible for the famous “I Love New York” campaign.
