Caroline was born into old money, and married into the richest new money family in the world. She became the ultimate Queen bee, determining who was and was NOT part of the illustrious 400, the high society of gilded age New York. A coveted invitation to one of her balls was the ultimate achievement for social climbers. Those left off the list might as well catch the next train to Toledo. Like her parties, her feuds were the stuff of legend and sparked major developments in New York City real estate. But under the shimmering veneer was a woman troubled by an unhappy marriage and personal insecurities. Let’s take a journey from her well heeled origin in the oldest part of the City, past the Fifth Avenue Landmarks from wench she once reigned over Manhattan, to her final resting place in the heights. Along the way we’ll get to know the real Mrs. Astor.
