Admitting she wanted to be an actress for the wrong reasons, Faith says, "I wanted it ... for the attention and love I never got as a child." When Faith has the opportunity to marry a rich, handsome man and pay off her debts and settle down, she breaks off the engagement because she wants to succeed on her own. It's that message of empowerment that appeals to many young women. Frankel has a knack for tapping into how women feel about themselves and their place in the world. Frankel preaches the gospel of modern success for women, and with more than 862,000 Twitter followers and a multimillion-dollar brand, she has the disciples and collection plate to prove they're listening. As summer approaches, expect to see Frankel fans in oversized sunglasses sipping Skinnygirl margaritas while clutching a copy of "Skinnydipping" on a beach near you. ___ Online:
