Ron Galotti
Ron Galotti is an American former magazine executive, who worked for such Newhouse publications as ''Vogue'', ''GQ'' and ''Vanity Fair''. He is generally considered to be, and has been cited by ''New York Magazine'' as, the real-life inspiration for the character of "Mr. Big" (played by actor Chris Noth) on HBO's ''Sex and the City'' (based on the books of the same name by Candace Bushnell).〔(Galotti profile ), ''New York Magazine'' 〕〔(Galotti profile ), ''New York Magazine'', February 12, 2001.〕
While at ''Vogue'', he and his editor in chief, Anna Wintour, once retaliated against an anti-fur protest by PETA outside the Condé Nast offices during the company's annual Christmas party by sending down a plate of roast beef. After his last magazine position at ''GQ'', Galotti sold his homes in Manhattan and Long Island, and relocated, around 1999, with his family to a farm in North Pomfret, Vermont.〔
==Background==
The Bronx-born Galotti was raised in Peekskill, Westchester County, New York. His parents ran a liquor store. Young Ron raised chickens and earned a five-year 4-H pin from the Yorktown Grange. His only known sibling was a sister (born with Down syndrome) who is now deceased. Galotti's father died when Ron was nine years old. After barely managing to graduate high school, he enrolled in the Air Force, at the height of the Vietnam War. He was stationed for more than 3 years in the Philippines, rising to the rank of sergeant. He earned income by loan-sharking and later opened a brothel with the usury proceeds.〔
