Both grew up with alcoholic parents. Both were outsiders running away from their pasts (Halston, a gay hat-maker escaping his small-town Midwest roots; Minnelli, trying to emerge from the oppressive shadows of her famous parents). Both became dependent on drugs. Each needed someone who could offer non-judgmental support and understanding. \u201cThat\u2019s what they found in each other,\u201d Gaines said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Halston had a meltdown before a big show in France \u2014 the legendary 1973 \u201cBattle of Versailles\u201d extravaganza that pitted Paris couturiers against American designers \u2014 Minnelli ran after him to calm him down and rally his spirits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was the one who sat down with Halston,\u201d model and \u201cHalstonette\u201d Chris Royer later told an interviewer about the event. \u201cShe unified everybody.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Halston would famously later lose his business, his name, his status. He was ousted from his company in 1984, never working in fashion again. Yet, Minnelli never abandoned him, remaining faithful to him after his death of AIDS in 1990 \u2014 even today. When a documentary film crew recently asked her about the more unsavory parts of Halston\u2019s life, she refused to spill any secrets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very hard to do an interview about your best friend,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Halston-Tavi-Gevinson\/dp\/B07W4XCFP3?tag=nypost-20\">she said<\/a>. \u201cEspecially if what\u2019s popular in that day and age is digging a little.
