    Meet Betty Halbreich, The Subject Of Lena Dunham's New Show

    The team behind Girls is working on a show about the 85-year-old personal stylist.

    Betty Halbreich is "the queen mother of personal shoppers."

    And now, Lena Dunham and "Girls" executive producer Jenni Konner are making a show about her for HBO.

    Halbreich runs her own personal styling business out of Bergdorf Goodman, the high-end New York department store.

    She was involved, fashion-wise, with another well-known HBO show about women in New York City. Perhaps you've heard of it?

    Meryl Streep was among her clients.

    As was Liza Minelli.

    At 85, Halbreich still works at Bergdorf's.
