Begin on Fifth Avenue in New York, 1922, in the Easter Parade. Huguette Clark, 15, walks with her father, William A. Clark, senator and copper king. He was the second richest American — or first, neck and neck with Rockefeller. Huguette, now 103, has no heirs. Where is she?
Is this who Glenn Beck was talking about a week or so ago? He went to one of her houses and he said it was like time traveling as there have been no updates to the home since the 30’s and the servants still work there and keep it up but no one ever lives there.
I used to sell Clark wire and other Clark products. It was good stuff.
If she has no living family, or at least none that she is close to, then she is a very poor woman...
What a shame that this woman is ga-ga and introverted. At 104, she ought to be a wealth of historical information. My grandmother would have been her age had she lived, and I recall that it was always fascinating to talk to her about her life and the world as it was in her youth. Elderly people have so much to teach if only they had an opportunity to do so. Huguette Clark seems to have had a very sad life despite all that money. She had a sweet face in the photo included, and I love her outfit. Styles from WWI should come back. They were stylish and modest.
Paris Hilton - take note;)
Photographic styles have certainly changed. In old time photos, people seldom were seen smiling. None of the photos in the above posts evidence that Huguette was ever very happy. She was probably emotionally abused from the outset.
Bump
Bet she ‘dies’ this year. No Federal inheritance taxes.
I have absolutely no respect for people whose only accomplishment is being born.
Clarkdale, Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada were named for this woman’s father. He was supposedly a real rogue, the very picture of a Gilded Age robber baron.
Interesting thread/info Daffy = thanks!
