Two of her novels have been adapted for television: ''Lipstick Jungle'' (2008–09) on NBC, and ''The Carrie Diaries'' (since 2013) on The CW. ''One Fifth Avenue'' has been optioned by the Mark Gordon Company and ABC for yet another television show. ==Personal life== Bushnell was born in Glastonbury, Connecticut.

Her mother was of Italian descent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Author Candace Bushnell Prefers Bloody Marys to Cosmos and Buys Her Butter at the Greenmarket )〕 While attending high school in Glastonbury, Candace was accompanied to her senior prom by Mike O'Meara, now a nationally syndicated radio host, who also dated Candace's sister, "Lolly".

By Carl Quinn, www.theage.com, September 28, 2003.〕 They decided to divorce in 2011. She found the experience disorienting, telling the London ''Guardian'', "When I got divorced, I couldn’t get a mortgage; I didn’t fit into a computer model. All of a sudden, I was invited to no more couple things. Being single is hard and there’s something a bit heroic about it." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Candace Bushnell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
