Portrait of the advice columnist Ann Landers and her daughter Margo Howard, January 1, 2003. Michael L Abramson/Getty Images hide caption Margo Howard was the person you'd hope to be seated next to at a dinner party, to hear her purr anecdotes and observations about all the other guests. When it was reported this week that Margo had died at the age of 86, a lot of coverage was understandably about the years she wrote the Dear Prudence advice column for Slate , and then another called Dear Margo. Advice was her family business, after all; Margo's mother, Eppie Lederer, spent nearly 50 years writing the widely syndicated column Dear Ann Landers. I met Howard when I was a young Chicago reporter, and she was a glamorous Chicago columnist.
