Kiernan's sharpeyed biography brings back a woman who, far into her 90s, relished the dance of life.' O, The Oprah MagazineThis biography, based on firsthand knowledge and interviews with Mrs. Astors friends and the heads of New Yorks great cultural institutions, gives us back the woman so loved and admired. At the age of 51, Brooke Astor wedded the notoriously illtempered Vincent Astor, who died in 1959. In a highly publicized courtroom battle, she fought off an attempt to break Vincents will, which left $67 million to the Vincent Astor Foundation. As the foundations president, Mrs. Astor would use this legacy to benefit New York City. She would personally visit every grant applicant and charm anyone she met. At her hundredth birthday, princes and presidents honored her, but in 2006 a grandson petitioned the courts to have his father removed as Brookes guardian. Once again an Astor court battle became the stuff of headlines.
