"    Cosmo&amp;#039;s Fun Fearless Female Awards in January 2001; Photo: Getty Images   It&amp;#039;s a glum day for glossies with the news that the former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, Helen Gurley Brown, passed away at 90 years old this morning in NYC. The magazine guru made her legacy by editing Cosmo for 32 years and also authoring the 1962 bestseller, Sex and the Single Girl, which was turned into a movie in 1964. She became part of a power team when she married the late David Brown, who produced movies, including Jaws, The Sting, and The Verdict. Together, they donated $30 million to Columbia and Stanford Universities to create the David and Helen Gurley Brown Institute for Media Innovation at both schools.   While she she may be gone, her advice and wisdom for women continues to hold true. Read some of Gurley Brown&amp;#039;s most famous and inspiring quotes, below: &amp;quot;Being smart about money is sexy.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I married the right man. He is kind, compassionate and generous, not just to me, but to a lot of other people. You need to marry a decent, caring person.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The message was: So you&amp;#039;re single. You can still have sex. You can have a great life. And if you marry, don&amp;#039;t just sponge off a man or be the gold-medal-winning mother. Don&amp;#039;t use men to get what you want in life\u2014get it for yourself.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Never fail to know that if you are doing all the talking, you are boring somebody.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Nearly every glamorous, wealthy, successful career woman you might envy now started out as some kind of schlepp.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere&amp;quot;     Helen Gurley Brown and David Brown in November 2001; Photo: Getty Images    "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
