Don't hear much about her but...
DOB 30 March 1902
A socialite, philanthropist, and writer, Astor was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Largely self-educated, she was a magazine journalist and the author of four books. She married three times (once divorced, twice widowed). Her third husband, Vincent Astor, left her with a fortune that allowed her to become a philanthropist of major proportions. She has awarded an average of 100 grants a year ($9 million a year) to civic projects, social projects, and cultural institutions in New York City, the New York Public Library being one of her major beneficiaries.
