I've already heard a little bit about Madeleine Astor's life after the sinking of the Titanic and I even learned that her last husband only got involved with her for her money (I don't know how true this is). After reading some threads about some couples who were separated, a comment saying...

What was Madeleine and Brooke Astor's relationship like? Were they friends or did they not know each other very well? Did Madeleine go to Brooke and Vincent's wedding?

Does anyone knows the name of the tune playing when Astor invites Madeleine for their last dance at the dinner saloon???

Was Madeleine Astor's 2nd husband related to the Dicks who were on the Titanic?

I recently took a tour of my town, Aiken, South Carolina, on a required trip for my school. As it turns out, I learned that Mrs. Astor had a home here just about two miles away from mine, in the downtown area. I don't know when it was purchased, but I'm assuming it was post-Titanic, considering...

Thought you might enjoy an armchair visit to Beechwood. The photographs were taken last Sunday on a perfect June day. Character actors roleplay -I met J.J. under a tree having tea-of course it was "1890" that day so he had not heard of Titanic. Happy yesterdays...
