By Gerry W. Beyer

AstorEarlier on this blog, I discussed various issues regarding Brooke Astor and the disputes with her son and grandson.  On August 13, 2007, Brooke died at her Holly Hill estate in Briarcliff, New York at the age of 105.

A very detailed and comprehensive account of Brooke’s situation may be found in John Richardson, The Battle for Mrs. Astor, Vanity Fair, October 2008.
