Smith, is an American restaurateur, model, author, businesswoman and television host.[4][5] Early life and educationSmith was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Everson, Pennsylvania.[3] Her mother, Florence, was a maid and her father, William, a steelworker.[2][6] Smith was raised in Scottdale, Pennsylvania and attended Southmoreland High School; graduating in 1967.[7][8] CareerModeling, television and stageIn the mid–1960s, Smith began her career in modeling; participating in the Ebony Fashion Fair[9][10] and later signing with Wilhelmina Models agency.[14] Smith was the first African-American model to be featured on the cover of Mademoiselle magazine in 1976.[11] Smith made two appearances on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, once as a model for Queen Sara's wedding dress and once giving a tour of her restaurant, B. Smith, and making raspberry custard with Fred Rogers and her head chef, Henry. During the episode, she taught child viewers about the importance of washing hands, and shared the excitement of using huge bowls and mixers. She has said her dream was to feed people, which began at an early age when she fed her dolls. Her weekly half-hour syndicated television show, B. Smith With Style, debuted in 1997 and also aired weekdays on BTN and Bounce TV. It featurted home decor and cooking segments.[12] Smith accepted a role in the Off Broadway play Love, Loss, and What I Wore for an April 27 through May 29, 2011, run with Conchata Ferrell, AnnaLynne McCord, Anne Meara, and Minka Kelly.[13] Restaurateur and retailerSmith owned multiple restaurants called B. Smith. The first opened in 1986, on Eighth Avenue at 47th Street in New York City,[14] and several years later moved around the corner to Restaurant Row on 46th Street; followed by another one in Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York. She also owned a restaurant in the historic Beaux-Arts Union Station in Washington, D.C.; in September 2013, it was reported that restaurant would close.[15] In 2014, the Sag Harbor restaurant was shuttered, followed by the Manhattan location in January 2015.[14] Smith’s interest in décor and restaurant design led to the development of her first home collection, which debuted at Bed Bath & Beyond in Spring 2001.[16] She also launched a line of serveware in 2004. In spring 2007, Smith debuted her first furniture collection with the La-Z-Boy company Clayton Marcus.[17] AuthorB. Smith authored three books concentrating on recipes and presentation: B. Smith's Entertaining and Cooking for Friends (1995), B. Smith's Rituals and Celebrations (1999), and B. Smith Cooks Southern Style (2009).[18] Smith and her husband released Before I Forget in early 2016, detailing their journey following her diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's.[19] The book was written with Vanity Fair contributing editor Michael Shnayerson. Personal lifeSmith has been married twice and has no biological children. Her first marriage was to former HBO executive Donald "Don" Anderson from 1986 until 1990.[20] Smith began dating Anderson after formally meeting at her restaurant in late–1986.[21] Smith married her business partner, Clarence "Dan" Gasby, in 1992 at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Manhattan. Gasby was the executive producer of the Essence Awards and the senior vice president of marketing at Camelot Entertainment Sales Inc.[2][22][23] Smith is stepmother to Gasby's daughter Dana.[24] Smith lived in Sag Harbor, New York, on Long Island,[25] until she and Gasby moved to nearby East Hampton, New York, in the mid-2010s.[26] She previously lived on Central Park South and had a second apartment she used as an office.[27][28] In June 2014, Smith revealed that she had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, stating that she came out with the information to counter the stigma associated with the disease.[29] In November 2014, Smith's husband reported her missing from Southampton, New York.[30] She was found the next day in a cafe in Midtown Manhattan.[26] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Washington DC|url=http://bsmith.com/restaurants/washington-dc/|publisher=B.
