She was subsequently the art critic for WNYC Public Radio, the New York City affiliate of NPR.
[1] She is sometimes confused with another reporter, Deborah B. Solomon, who is a financial journalist now working at The New York Times after a long career at The Wall Street Journal.
In an interview with Francis Ford Coppola, Solomon disclosed that her father was born in Romania and fled as a child in 1938.
In 2003, The New York Times Magazine hired her to author a regular weekly column in which she interviewed various people.
Ms. Solomon’s editing practices (despite the weekly disclaimer) led some of her subjects–including Tim Russert, Ira Glass, and Amy Dickinson–to cry foul.
The interview became "a debacle"[6] when, midway through the conversation, a Y representative handed Solomon a note asking her to talk more about Martin’s movie career.
"[11] Rockwell's granddaughter Abigail has written several articles denouncing Solomon's book as a "disaster" and a "fraud".
[16][17] Solomon is married to Kent Sepkowitz, an infectious-disease specialist and the Deputy Physician-in-Chief at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and frequent contributor to various publications.
