12. The Power Player: Audrey Gelman
24, Brooklyn Heights
Audrey Gelman might just be the most glamorous press secretary any borough president, in any borough, anywhere, has ever had. The 24-year-old New York native, who now lives in Brooklyn Heights, works tirelessly on behalf of Manhattan Borough President M. Scott Stringer (“I believe he will be the next mayor”), and yet somehow finds time to appear on HBO TV shows (Girls, created by close friend Lena Dunham, debuts next year). Oh, and did we mention her boyfriend is Terry Richardson, patriarch of hipster iconography? When asked about her plans for the future, Gelman was as cagey as you’d expect a press secretary to be: “I’m grateful for where I already am today, so right now I’m focusing on doing the best job I can in my current capacity. I can say though that I’d never want to run for office, and will always want to remain behind the scenes.” (Photos by Crystal Gwyn)
