Southern Charm star Patricia Altschul reflected on her relationship with son Whitney Sudler-Smith's father in her new memoir. After meeting 25-year-old Lon Smith in 1962, they "moved rapidly from like to love to let's get married," she wrote in Eat, Drink, and Remarry: Memories from a Lifetime of Art, Class, and Southern Charm, published on Tuesday, November 11. "It's a Southern thing that women need to be married by the time they're 25 or they automatically become old maids. I still had a few years before my expiration date, but I've always been a risk-taker," Altschul, now 84, wrote.
