EDITOR’S LETTER Clockwise from below left: Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, New York’s reigning society empress who introduced the idea of the “400” list; the menu from Mrs. Astor’s January 17, 1898, society ball; Gilbert Stuart’s 1795 oil painting of John Jacob Astor; Ellen Tuck “Tucky” French Astor and

THIS ISSUE is our annual Quest 400 list, which was started in the early ’90s and loosely inspired by the legendary 400 list of the Caroline Schermerhorn Astor in the late 19th century in New York. Mrs. Astor was in her day the empress of society. If she liked you, you were on her list. If she didn’t, you didn’t exist.

It has often been reported in these pages and elsewhere that Mrs. Astor’s list was made up of the number of people she could fit in her ballroom for her annual ball in January. However, it is a number that was borne of the creative imagination of one Ward McAllister, a very early society public relations man, who was Mrs. Astor’s amanuensis. He said there were really only “400” people in New York worthy of an Astor invitation, ballroom or no ballroom.

But that was more than a century ago, when New York was just getting started as a major city in the world, and there were far fewer people. And there were no telephones, cars, planes, Internet, mass electricity, or rockets to the moon back then. None of these were even imaginable.

Back then the elite lived amongst them20 QUEST

selves on Fifth Avenue or Madison Avenue; Mr. Vanderbilt’s railroad tracks ran right down the middle of Fourth Avenue, whose residents were the working poor. After public complaints overwhelmed, Fourth Avenue was covered over into a tunnel and renamed Park Avenue. Individuals with the means began a-buildin’ their mansions along the avenue.

By the late 1920s, it had become an avenue of mansions, most of which have long since been replaced by luxury apartment houses. Three of those houses that remain a century later, now protected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, are profiled in this issue.

Also in this issue, Charlie Dana takes us inside of the history of Harbour Court, the New York Yacht Club’s Newport headquarters located in the beautiful John Nicholas Brown mansion.

A woman with Caroline Astor’s personality and drive today might well know 1,000 to invite to her party—people from all over the world who travel in and out of the city frequently. Or it might be a much smaller party like the celebration in this issue honoring Marcelo Gomes of the American Ballet Theatre with his friends, fans, and supporters.

Rather than running a household, today’s Quest 400 hostess might by day be running a major corporation or charity, or managing portfolios, or consulting for those who do. She might very well never throw a ball unless it was to raise funds for philanthropy or to honor a man or woman for their good works in their chosen fields. Progress is the most important product—even among the social set. u

NEW YORK SO CIAL DIARY Musing on Mrs. Astor’s original 400 List from the 1880s, it was curious to me that there were no Rockefellers on it. Further research showed that John D. and his wife Laura Spelman Rockefeller (known to family and friends as Cettie) lived in Cleveland until the late 1870s when Standard Oil had become such an international

enterprise that it necessitated a move to the city. Making an actual move must have taken some getting used to.

At first, they put up in a hotel (the Buckingham) where Saks Fifth Avenue stands today, and in 1883 they bought a large townhouse at 4 West 54 Street from one Arabella Worsham.

The beautiful Mrs. Worsh-

am, who had social aspirations, liked to pass herself off as a daughter of Collis Huntington, the California mining and railroad tycoon.

She was actually the old man’s mistress. This all came to light when she became his wife. As Mrs. Huntington, she built an appropriate mansion on a lot on the corner of 57th Street and Fifth

Avenue, where Tiffany & Company stands today. Alas, her aspirations were never met by Mrs. Astor, and after Mr. H, who was 30 years her senior, died, Arabella married her husband’s nephew Henry, remaining a Huntington, moving her ambitions to California (where she built one of the great museums in Pasadena). And John and

Cettie Rockefeller and family moved into the Worsham mansion with their son John Jr. and three daughters, Alta, Edith, and Alice.

Wealthy newcomers to the city, Rockefeller and his Standard Oil were famous in the worlds (social and otherwise) of banking and business. He and his wife, however, had no social aspirations. They were a comparatively pious family, religious Baptists (rather than the High Episcopalians glorified by the WASP ascendency). The closest their name could ever come to scandal was that they were living in a house previously owned by another man’s mistress.

Todd English and David Burke

The Rockefellers’ presence in the land of Caroline Astor and Edith Wharton was unremarkable to society.

They moved in those early days between New York and Cleveland—where they kept a house—and Forest Hill, Ohio, where they kept an enormous wood and stucco pile on Lake Erie. Their social life was among family members, clerics, neighbors (sometimes), and business associates. Their children, coming of age in the early 20th century were more social than their parents, but rarely if ever in an aspirational way.

When their only son, John

Jr., married Abby Aldrich (whose father was a powerful senator from Rhode Island) in 1901, the 500 guests were transported to the Aldrich summer home in Newport on a special train of 45 private railroad cars and two private steamers. Among those attending were Vanderbilts, Whitneys and Astors (the next generation of an always-changing New York).

In 1912, now a family of five children, John Jr. built a much larger house at number 10 West 54th, next door to his parents. It was the tallest private house ever built in New York before or since—8 stories. The land on which

Suzy and Jack Welch

those two houses sat are today occupied by the Museum of Modern Art which was co-founded and funded by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and her husband.

By the time of John Jr.’s wedding, John Sr. was one of the richest men in America, and Standard Oil was a huge corporation whose power and wealth was known all over the world. His income in the year of Junior’s marriage was reported to be $60 million (or several billion in today’s dollars). While his life had changed dramatically because of the stupendous success of his business, his private social life remained

As a business owner, seeing your enterprise thrive is the ultimate reward for years of hard work. What can be equally fulfilling is using your success to give back to the causes that are most important to you. And involving your family in your philanthropic vision can make it all the more meaningful.

Just like the family business, family philanthropy can be hard work, yet immensely rewarding. When a family takes the time to identify goals and where and how to give, it can create a family legacy for generations to come.

Communication is key. It’s important to remember that multigenerational philanthropy should not be the senior generation showing younger generations how to engage in philanthropy, or even giving by example. Rather, it’s about the family collaborating. Together, you need to determine the approach to giving that is right for your family now, and how that might evolve down the road.

Where to begin. As philanthropist John D. Rockefeller advised, charitable giving should be treated like investing.

A family needs to think about its

portfolio of assets and its portfolio of interests. Some assets may work best for family philanthropy, while others may be best for personal giving or better suited for family investment. But even as you consider assets to give, you need to decide collectively on your philanthropic interests. The savviest business owners also take advantage of estate planning and income tax minimization benefits while they fulfill philanthropic goals.

By then, he regarded himself as semi-retired. He was in his early 60s, and had worked from the time he was a young boy. In his spare time, he liked to stay home and enjoy his development and management in myriad ways, which his wealth could 26 QUEST

afford to perfection. He had also acquired an estate in Lakehurst, New Jersey, and a winter house in Ormond Beach, Florida. But the center of his New York life was becoming the property in the Pocantico Hills area of North Tarrytown. It was the closest environment to Forest Hill, which he loved.

His brother William, who had built an estate on 1000 acres in the Pocantico area, first introduced him to the area. Mr. Rockefeller’s initial purchase—400 acres overlooking the Hudson and the Catskills—was chosen not for its popularity with the landed gentry, but because of its glorious view. He purchased

it in 1893 during a financial panic when land prices had dropped precipitously. When it came to purchasing anything, Mr. Rockefeller always looked for the best buy. No matter how great his fortune, his childhood’s uncertain and meager financial existence imbued him with the crucial importance of thrift. He had

“Willful waste makes woeful want” was one of his lifelong by-laws.

The early years of the new century was also a time of major change in his life, emphasized by his public exposure by a muckraking journalist Ida Tarbell, an editor at McClure’s magazine. McClure’s was one of the most widely read magazines in the country, and very influential. Tarbell was a thorough journalist, a no-nonsense, sensible, hardworking woman who wrote “A History of Standard Oil,” first published as a serial in McClure’s.

A history of Standard Oil was the history of its creator, Mr. Rockefeller.

The company was already famous, like its founder, because of its great success from the development of

kerosene for household and commercial use. Standard Oil controlled at least 70% of the world market, and Mr. Rockefeller had a reputation for being shrewd and brutal with his competition. He referred to himself as “good with figures.” Thirty years after its founding, at the beginning of the 20th century, Standard Oil’s business was about to increase a thousand-fold more because of the developing Automotive Age. Ida Tarbell, who came from Titusville, Pennsylvania, where the Oil Industry was born and whose relatives were early on in the same business as Mr. Rockefeller, wrote a detailed account of how this huge company had become a monopoly crushing any competition in a variety of ways, many of which were

allegedly not above board.

Mr. Rockefeller was respectfully recognized for his genius in creating his business.

He made several of his partners (people whose businesses he’d bought out) rich. His method of secrecy in business aroused suspicions of corruption, of paybacks (i.e. bribes), and of destroying his competition (or buying them out). Tarbell told the world all about its nefarious practices to achieve that success.

The Tarbell series was hugely popular. It doubled and then tripled McClure’s circulation with each new segment. It was a perfect moment in this country’s growth. The Gilded Age had produced what were known as Robber Barons, and Teddy Roosevelt, the anti-monopolist, was President. The Tarbell’s book sullied the repu-

tation of John D. Rockefeller.

How he really felt about it was never made apparent to the public because he had a natural sense of discretion as well as an inclination to try to right a wrong.

The public reaction reached all the way to the White House. There was a rash of states suing the company for price-fixing and secret deals made outside the law. Teddy Roosevelt’s Attorney General William Moody announced an investigation of anti-trust suit against Standard Oil with press reports that “Standard Oil Officials May Go to Prison.”

The public reaction came as a great shock, for Rockefeller was a hard-working man of principles. He was also a man who could outsmart his competitors, and admired for it by those who

knew him well. He handled the onslaught of public opinion and possible court cases by withdrawing more from the public eye, keeping his own counsel and weighing all matters thoroughly by consulting those around him. One result was for Mr. Rockefeller to increase his philanthropy. His ambition in life was two fold: to make a lot of money and to live to 100.

Philanthropy had been a natural course for him long before Ida Tarbell came along. From childhood, he shared in household chores, helping his mother. This was in the days before any ordinary conveniences, even running water, and the Rockefellers were poor. His 30 QUEST

father, who was a traveling salesman, referred to himself as “Doctor” or “Doc” when introducing his customers to his elixirs and miracle cures.

He also, John’s family learned many years later, had another wife and family in another part of the state, and went by the named of Levingston to avoid being caught as a bigamist. Doc Levingston.

Young John helped his mother by earning money raising turkeys, selling potatoes and candy, and eventually lending small sums to neighbors. The die had been cast at a very early age. His father advised him to always get the better part of any deal, once bragging that “I cheat my boys every chance I get. I want to make them

“sharp.”

When John first earned any money—from age seven doing errands, delivering papers—he tithed part of his earnings, even if it was a penny. He kept a record in a book called Ledger A, containing an account of every penny earned and spent from boyhood to his early business years.

An entry to Ledger A (he was sixteen): “September 26, 1855 – January 1, 1856: received $50 (wages). Paid board and washer-woman. Sewed a little Gave penny each Sabbath to Sunday School.

“1856 – wages $25 per month. Nov. 24, 1855 – April 1856: spent for clothing, $9.09. Gave away $5.58. Gave

to foreign missions, ten cents, to the Mite Society, fifty cents; to the Five Points Mission in New York twelve cents.”

The clothing purchases were not all successful to the young man. Many years later, he recalled: “I don’t know why I bought those gloves.

I was wearing mittens at the time, always had worn mittens and they were cheap and comfortable. No, I can’t say to this day what caused me to waste that $2.50 on regular gloves.”

Decades later, living large at Pocantico Hills, a story went around the Sleepy Hollow Country Club about Rockefeller’s spending.

There was a man named Pat Lagin who worked for a laundry in Westchester, picking

It came to pass that Mr. Lagin one day went to work for another laundry. Mr. Rockefeller, who liked Lagin, decided not to switch laundries since he was happy with his longtime laundry.

Pat Lagin, however, in an effort to get his business, submitted to Rockefeller a list comparing the prices of his former employer with his new employer. The old employer charged five cents a collar. The new laundry charged four cents. A dress shirt with the old laundry cost thirty-five cents. Lagin’s new employer charged thirty cents.

Rockefeller, looking over the comparisons asked his valet if the new laundry did good work. The answer was the affirmative. “Well then,” said the Richest Man in the World, “Pat shall have our work again. The difference in price will run into quite a savings, to be sure.”

Later in life, it was a pleasure for him to show the book to his grandchildren, intending to impress them with his attention to the matter of money. His point was made. One of his great-granddaughters, in her memoirs published a few years ago described the practice as, generally: spend a third, save a third, and give

a third away. The man passed this habit down to his children and to his grandchildren. Evidently, there are still some of this now wide-ranging family who practice the founder’s habit.

After Tarbell’s book was published, however troubled by it, Rockefeller characteristically kept his cool and searched for a solution to the matter for himself, and his family. He had made his decision on how to handle the matter, focus on philanthropy and giving away. This was not something new for him because had long been making contributions to charities that were mainly religion related. He was advised to alter

the kinds of endowments. Always a man who insisted on getting his money’s worth—it was common sense to him, not miserliness—his son convinced him that funding medical research was an important start demonstrating his concern for everyone.

And so began the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research at Rockefeller University, on York Avenue today.

He had long before set his mind at ease, and was feeling righteous following the dictum of Methodist preacher John Wesley: “Gain all you can, save all you can, and give all you can.” The Rockefeller philanthropies to this day are, like the man’s origi-

nal fortune, the greatest ever.

Four generations later, many Rockefeller descendants are still deeply involved in a variety of philanthropies that their foundations are supporting.

I’d read two books on the subject of the man when they were published: Ron Chernow’s enormously detailed 34 QUEST

and intriguing portrait of him in Titan (Random House 1998), is a compelling, insightful read; and Robert F. Dalzell, Jr. and Lee Baldwin Dalzell’s The House the Rockefellers Built (Henry Holt, 2007), equally as fascinating and insightful. All stories about John D. Rockefeller are stories about fam-

ily, an experience everyone shares even if they feel they have no family. The man was remarkably brilliant, sensitive, and motivated to make the most out of anything that came his way.

By in his 60s in the early part of the century, still looking forward to living to 100, John D. Rockefeller with-

drew from the public eye, devoting much of his time to developing his property in Pocantico Hills. The public clamor led to strangers showing up on the property and sometimes even in numbers, so that tall fences with barbed wire were put up to keep him and his family and staff safe from potential ma-

rauders looking for trouble.

A complex security system was installed where much of the property was equipped with lights that could with a flick of the switch light the grounds surrounding the houses. He added to the first 400 acres until there were more than 6,000. Its development was also a boon to the tiny village outside the property. Eventually there were hundreds working there, inside and outside. Roads were installed (a total of 70 miles of roadway). He loved driving around the road admiring the views, inspecting the landscaping projects, keeping track of all the details.

In 1912, after the house he’d originally bought was razed by fire, he was encouraged to build a new, grander house on the highest point of the property overlooking the Hudson and the Catskill 36 QUEST

mountains in the distance.

It would be named Kykuit, a Dutch word for the “highest point.” Many additional houses had already been built to accommodate household staff as well as grounds and construction workers. Gardens were planted to supply the households with vegetables and to cultivate the property with flowers. Forests were planted, or moved to accommodate additions to the property, all of which was overseen by the man whose mind was always creating the bigger picture.

The scandal created by the Tarbell book occurred also at a time when the print medium was expanding along with the population. John D. Rockefeller became a natural target to gain readership.

To the man himself it could seem like he was the object of any journalist’s rant—any-

where, anytime. Eventually, in his search for solutions, he was persuaded to hire a publicist. This was a new concept in the early 20th century, especially to a man who had grown up and lived to maturity in world made much wider by the dark and silence that existed before the emergence of the light bulb, the steam engine, and the telephone.

Despite his getting older, he remained practical in finding solutions to any problem he was confronted with. It was a tribute to his creative imagination and certainty of purpose that he agreed to the idea of a “publicist’s” advice. But he did, and the advice he received was brilliant and clear: make himself available. The first members of the press invited to interview him were warmed up and cajoled by the publicist

as the client was advised to be himself. That advice, in retrospect, was the turning point in the restoration, even creation of the image of John D. Rockefeller that the world knows more than a century later. Oddly, the very private secretive tycoon loved the opportunity to talk about himself and his interests.

One of the great advantages provided by the digital age is the availability of archives of some of those interviews.

I happened upon one several years ago through my subscription to The New Yorker. Surfing the magazine’s archives from its beginnings, I found myself fascinated by profile on Rockefeller by John K. Winkler from the January 22, 1927 issue.

Rockefeller, then in his 88th year, was introduced to the journalist at Kykuit. He was a very spry figure who

by then was known as “the richest man in the world” and more specifically, a man who in his then long dotage had given away “some 20,000 dimes and nickels from his vest pocket into the hands of many men, women and children.”

I grew up hearing about Mr. Rockefeller’s “dimes.”

Those gifts, which would be tiny to the 21st century person, as Winkler explained, “weren’t souvenirs to chance acquaintances.” There was a deeper significance to Mr. Rockefeller’s gesture. There was a two-fold purpose to his bestowing the “Declaration of the Dime,” which was to “inculcate the principles of saving and thrift, and to establish warmer personal relationship with his fellows.”

38 QUEST

By 1927, a quarter century after the initial debut of Ida Tarbell’s revelations in McClure’s, as well as the many billions dispensed from the Rockefeller charitable foundations, “both objectives (had) been attained.” Those souvenirs of bright, shiny coins were taken and fashioned into amulets and watch charms. “Hundreds (had) written that his small gift has turned their thoughts toward thrift, and had become, in their particular households, a visible symbol of the necessity for saving.”

These shiny coins were, in Winkler’s words, “the beads of the roar of Croesus, and he gloats over them. For he believes each bead betokens a deed well done and he sees himself eventually lifted up

to the very gates of God by such strands.”

The man whom reporters met and whom the public occasionally laid eyes on was in his ninth decade, “muffled, bent, with ageworn skin, dark glasses generally concealing the ice blue eyes that beam from sunken cheeks and skull bones.” The casual observer, Winkler noted, might think they’re seeing a man growing senile. He added: “But no one who does not come into close contact with Mr. Rockefeller can possibly sense the fire, cold but intense, that burns within that mummified frame. It is his inner fire that enables this remarkable individual to fend off the forces of dissolution.”

Winkler described the

man he was meeting as “old” when he was 18, but then, approaching 88, the man was young. “Just as he was determined at 18 to become the richest man in the world and succeeded, so he has determined to live on indefinitely upon an earth whose expansion he has so largely directed. This fine factual mind has never known failure.” Winkler concluded that come July 8, 1939 when Rockefeller would hit his centennial, he’d be out in his garden listening to a band playing music. This of course was not to be—John D. Rockefeller died in 1937, two years from his goal of 100.

However, it was agreed by all around him that Rockefeller had been able to “force himself to return to the sim-

To this reader, this was a man who had the self-discipline to adjust to vagaries of age of a long life intensely lived, and yet continued to restore his interests in the day-to-day experience of living.

In the New Yorker profile, John Winkler writes in detail about his days, which were well organized and well ordered and active. He slept eight hours each night.

He arose every morning at 7

when his valet would enter and open his curtains. He’d go into the bathroom to bath/ shower, shave, and then put on his suit to “promptly step into the elevator” (his bedroom was on the third floor of the house) and go to the first floor for his breakfast.

The dining room was specifically designed (his idea) to face east and north, catching the morning sun and looking out on the circular garden with its marble fountain in the center.

He ate sparingly but without restriction except for certain exceptions: sweets, tomatoes, cucumbers. Tiny portions; a couple spoonfuls of cereal, a drop of coffee,

a forkful of egg, a tiny bit of meat, all consumed very slowly “seemingly actually chewing his liquids as well as solids.” The total amount of food ingested in day amounting to no more than 2 or 3 medium-sized sandwiches.

There were often guests at the meal—usually at least one in the house—relatives, Rockefeller foundation or business people, a minister.

When everyone had finished, he motioned to the butler who left the room and a man bearing three books—the Bible, a compendium of poems and prayers containing an “uplift” message for each day, as well as a volume of collected sermons of Dr.

Jowett. After short selections read by his secretary or a guest where the host had listened carefully, sometimes asking for a passage to be repeated, an hour has passed, he got up an went to his study for the first of five rest periods—one after each meal and following his daily nine holes of golf and his “motoring.” (He loved riding around his property and seeing the work being done, the changes being made – he loved changing and rearranging the landscape, moving trees, building walls, changing vistas.)

He had trained to sleep for five or ten minutes at a time.

Then he read the morning

paper—the New York Times and the New York Evening Post. “He follows world events,” Winkler notes, “with great care. But the papers really tell him very little.

He himself could publish the most interesting newspaper.

And each day he’d have a flock of beats.” Newspapers speculating on new “the health of a great diplomat or the probably overthrow of a government,” are not news to him because he’d already been informed of the latest through “direct wires leading from Pocantico Hills to the Standard Oil office and to the remote places of the earth. There are more than 200 phones at Pocantico, four of which [were] private, local, suburban and long distances lines.”

42 QUEST

One hour after breakfast he puts on his golfing suit, “an old cap with side flaps, one or two sweaters, rough, loose-fitting and floppy collars, long trousers dark golf shoes and gloves. He always wears gloves. He walks out of the basement door through the ‘Golf Garden’ which is next to the lawn where he practices, and to the first tee.

He plays either 8 or 10 holes because those two are nearer the house than the ninth.

Golf was then the biggest thing in his life. He studied the game the way he studied every other matter, business or personal in his long life, intensely focused and curious to learn so he understood the principles of the game perfectly. Over a period of several weeks he averaged

48 for 9 holes. His golf bag contained more clubs than the average golfer: two drivers, two brassies of different weights (the brassies being his favorite clubs). His principle: “Always use a heavier club.”

He developed a medium trajectory for his tee shots.

“In approaching he knew how to run ‘em up as well as pitch ‘em onto the green.”

He always went straight for the flag, not content just to go to the green. He had a big rake-like putter with which he swept the ball into the hole, seldom requiring more than two puts.

Winkler noted that “the prettiest attribute of his game is its direction. He loses no more than three balls a year, and he can tell exactly un-

der what circumstances they were lost and whether the fault was his or his caddy’s.”

“His lifelong habits are evident even in his golf. He asserts no energy in a preliminary swing, no waggling of the club in addressing the ball—just steps up and socks it. Every two or three holes he pulls a piece of chalk out of his pocket and liberally smears the face of his driver. ‘Helps to hold the ball,’ he explains. ‘Also it lets me know whether I am succeeding in hitting the ball where I want to—just below center.’”

Sometimes when he’d sock one square down the middle, he’d do a funny little “half-Charleston, bending his left knee and shuffling to time. At such times he is likely to remark to any girl

With his game finished at noon, he changed back into his business suit and rest for a few minutes, then handling any business matters brought to his attention and then ready for lunch.

Lunch would be 2 or 3 spoonfuls of his favorite soup, a few pieces of vegetables and a small leaf of lettuce to nibble on (with a few drops of olive oil which he believed was a good unguent for the aged.) The meal, which take an ordinary 44 QUEST

person a few minutes max, would take an hour.

At three he’d go “motoring” with his chauffeur Phillips. He liked speed. In 1927, 35 mph was the minimum speed he preferred, often advising Phillips to pick it up a little. Then after two hours motoring he was back at his house ready for another ten-minute rest.

As time marched on, by the early 1930s, the now nonagenarian Lord of Oil was ever more concerned about his health on his road to centennial. When he was 95 he came down with bronchial pneumonia. He recovered but decided for reasons of

health to move his life to The Casements, his house in Ormond Beach. He stopped all physical activities (golf, gardens walks, afternoon drives). At age 95, he was eligible for his insurance company to pay him $5 million, the face value of his policy, having actuarially outlived his expiration date (only one person in 100,000 survived that distance).

On May 23, 1937, having had a heart attack the day before, he died in his sleep. He was six weeks from 98, and two years to his final goal.

Having given away to charities and to his children his nearly half trillion–dollar for-

tune, (“making him the Richest Man Who Ever Lived”) he left $26.4 million. By the mid-1990s, four successor corporations to the original Standard Oil—Exxon, Mobil, Amoco, and Chevron were among the 50 largest companies in the world.

In the words of his biographer, Ron Chernow, John D. Rockefeller “served as an emblem of both corporate greed and philanthropic enlightenment…. The fiercest robber baron had turned out to be the foremost philanthropist, unrivaled to this day, eighty years later.

IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY “WHERE DO YOU WANT to photograph me today, Mr. Benson? You’ve had me stretched out on a chaise looking, if I am to believe you, very glamorous, and in the reading room of the library. What next?” Mrs. Astor asked.

“I could ask you to do something outrageous—ride a motorbike or take your dachshunds for a swim in Central Park,” I said. “But what I would like is simply a happy photograph of you here in your apartment.”

Being with Mrs. Astor was not an unpleasant way to pass an afternoon. She saw the humor in every situation and though I only knew her as an acquaintance, she is the kind of person I always felt would have been a wonderful friend. Sometimes she would ask what magazine I was photographing her for that day and I could have said the Weekly Gazette instead of Architectural Digest, and she would have given me a smile.

She was one who realized that her fame and good fortune should be shared with others. And share she did. As administrator of the Vincent Astor Foundation, she carried on her late husband’s legacy. Liz Smith concluded an introduction of Mrs. Astor at a charity awards extravaganza with something like, “I would have married Brooke Astor.”

When I learned that this issue of Quest would publish the annual “400,” the first person who came to mind was Brooke Astor. In this photograph, taken in 1980, she stands beneath a portrait of her husband, Vincent. Papers in hand, a twinkle in her eye, an edginess in her look, she was in good form that day. And to me, hands down, she heads the list. u 78 QUEST

OK, SPORT FANS, summertime’s here and the livin’ is easy. The Hamptons are filled to the brim with glitzy wannabes who have paid through the nose to be part of the scene, as is the French Riviera. The latter is a cesspool—the once fabled land that Fitzgerald based his greatest novel on, now filled to the brim with gangsters and harridans, Russian oligarchs, and Arab billionaire camel drivers posing as international playboys.

It is bad enough to drive a sane mature 80 QUEST

man with normal tastes to a monastery in Mount Athos.

However, this column is not about the excesses of the unacceptably rich. It is about wealth, and how that particular condition makes reasonable men and women do and write some very silly things. Take, for example, an Englishman by the name of Trevor Nunn, Sir Trevor as he now is, knighted for directing theatrical plays—his latest called Dessert, an attack on wealthy people

in general, and Jeff Bezos in particular.

Nunn has often railed against the rich in the Guardian’s pages, never mentioning the fact that he is one of the richest men in Britain thanks to hits like Les Misérables and Cats.

Nunn expresses incomprehension that the man who started Amazon in his garage now has a personal fortune of 83 billion big ones. God forbid that anyone might think I am coming to the defense of that awfully good-looking

TA K I chief of Amazon—I loathe the man for his invention of a business that put other businesses out of business, but I do not begrudge him for his wealth. Edison and Ford invented things that people needed, so why deny them their profits?

Ditto with Bezos, despite the fact that he invented nothing, but thought up a facilitator in order to make our lives simpler—not necessarily a good thing.

But let’s get back to that bum Nunn.

He professes a lack of greed because he says his success surprised him. Mark that one up with the other three biggest lies. In his play Dessert, a poster depicts a chocolate cake with the numeral five

ballroom, by mistake. Politicians and journalists are to a great extent dishonest, and picking on the rich is hardly a recent phenomenon. But lately it has become ‘de rigueur,’ as they say in the land of 1000 cheeses.

But wealth is not like a cake, it’s like a seed—it spreads itself as the waistline of those who devour too many cakes does.

The question of wealth is that it breeds more wealth, and although it does result in inequality, it also results in a much wider prosperity. Just look at the facts.

Since the end of the last world war, higher taxes and higher spending has been the socialist creed that has bank-

If we banned those who invent things from their just rewards, even unnecessary things like Amazon, there would be fewer inventions and we would gradually grow poorer. Just look at that woman Joy (I only saw the movie starring that beautiful Jennifer Lawrence)—she invented a mop, for God’s sake, and then she, well, if you saw the film you know the result. I don’t know if the mop story is true or a Hollywood story, but I was told that it’s based on truth. Communist countries went down the drain because of such lack of initiative. Why break your ass trying to improve things when something was coming your way— how-

iced on it. A very small slice of the cake is inscribed with the numeral 95. Get it?

The rich own a very large slice of everything, the rest of us a few crumbs. Nunn should know all about the 5%; he’s certainly part of it.

Left-wing politicians and journalists call those who wish to keep their own money greedy, but not those who want someone else’s. Something very wrong here, as the duchess said when she walked into a brothel instead of a

rupted Europe and other socialist-led South American countries. Then came Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, who proclaimed such practices the reason for less investment and less money for public spending. They preached and practiced the opposite, and both their countries flourished—Britain went from being the sick man of Europe to the second richest after Germany, which has been practicing unrestrained capitalism since 1945.

ever meager—if you did absolutely nothing at all.

Inequality makes for a good story, good plays, good movies, and all that, but like most of the above, it is based on a lie— and a big fat lie at that. Inequality is the result of invention, of intelligence, and of hard work. Think of that while you’re lying somewhere in the Hamptons, or, God forbid, on the French Riviera. u For more Taki, visit takimag.com.

THE SAGA OF HARBOUR COURT 30 YEARS LATER

BY CHARLIE DANA THIRTEEN OF US put our names on a deed when we bought Harbour Court from the John Nicholas Brown family exactly 30 years ago. It was a bold move paying the highest price ever for a Newport property in hopes that it would become a window on the water for the New York Yacht Club. We believed other members would see this opportunity the way we did. There were problems, of course, not the least of which was that the (then) commodore didn’t agree! So the partnership went at it alone from July 1987 until the NYYC board voted to accept the purchase in April 1988. Momentum for Harbour Court gathered along the way and the membership contributed generously, exceeding all expectations. It was a thrilling period of sailors coming together.

The NYYC had lost the America’s Cup to Australia in 1983 after 132 years, the longest winning streak in sporting history. In many ways, the Club had lost its main gig and needed to reinvent itself—or possibly perish. The straw hats of the old guard had 88 QUEST

become passé. Looking back, having a window on the water seems logical, but the club existed just fine in the middle of Manhattan for over a century. Change doesn’t come easily.

Carter Brown told me at the inaugural commissioning ceremony that his late father had always said, “It’d make a great yacht club.” Thus, this bold undertaking was birthed decades prior by Commodore Brown himself!

That said, the wheels had been set in motion to create perhaps the greatest waterfront facility in the world, save a historic structure, and reinvigorate Newport’s waterfront that was rapidly turning into condos and timeshares with traditional maritime trades disappearing fast. Newport’s 400-year history as a port was in trouble. In addition to being a port, as Carter Brown (former head of the National Gallery, son of John Nicholas Brown) said, Newport was perhaps the finest wooden city in America, home to the Tennis Hall of Fame, the America’s Cup Hall of Fame (Bristol), the oldest synagogue in America, and the first public library. At one point Newport had the likes of George Washington and Count Rochambeau working tirelessly for the 13 colonies to gain independence in the American Revolution.

The partnership group included NYYC members Brad Boss, Dort Cameron, Llwyd Ecclestone, Charlie Leighton, Lee Loomis, Don McGraw, Elizabeth Meyer, David Ray, Charlie Robertson, Frank Snyder, Bob Stone, Bill Woodward, and me. It was a most congenial group! The incoming commodore in December 1987 was one of us, Frank Snyder. I was the head of the partnership and the man with the clipboard orchestrating the makeover, but could not have been successful without Snyder’s support and willingness to run interference. It permitted us to move ahead quickly on a myriad of issues that confronted opening a club facility—and all that went with it—in a residential historic district. We had to get 32 permits! In an old house, few things are the way you need them to meet fire codes, and suddenly you are operating overnight rooms, a bar, and waterfront upgrades capable of serving a membership.

Newport opened its arms to us, which was one of the most rewarding aspects of what we did. Somewhat unexpectedly, Newporters were quick to see we played to their strengths instead of just being another developer coming to town, wanting to chop the historic houses into condominiums. It was their harbor, too, and they wanted it saved. We saw this consistently at City Hall as I procured permit after permit. We tried to reciprocate in joining the community as best we could. The NYYC was not only reinventing itself after losing the Cup; to a degree, it was reinventing Newport’s waterfront. The Museum of Yachting thrived even more than it had in the past, the International Yacht Restoration School was founded, Newport Shipyard went from bankruptcy to a floutishing mega-yacht hub, waterfront jobs grew plentiful, and sub-contractors statewide streamed in. The rule of thumb for a mega-yacht facility is a dollar spent there turns over seven times in the community: restaurants, bed and breakfasts, car rentals, etc. Newport Harbor was again coming alive and, you might say, a big part of the catalyst happened 30 years ago with the purchase of Harbour Court. I have to admit, as a group we saw it right away as a good project, but what has happened ever since has exceeded our wildest dreams! u

20 YEARS A PRINCE

BY DANIEL CAPPELLO

IN THE RECENT documentary Anatomy of a Male Ballet Dancer, the Paris Opera Ballet étoile Dorothée Gilbert reflects on what it’s like to dance with the film’s star, Marcelo Gomes: “I feel as though I’ve always danced with him,” she explains. “He is a very generous and sensitive partner, always attentive to his ballerina. . . . You never know what he’s going to do in advance.

It’s something spontaneous, real, present.” Gilbert is not alone in feeling naturally at home with him; Gomes is consistently hailed as arguably the greatest living partner in the world of ballet. But his generosity and sensitivity extend well beyond the role of ballet partnering, and he is, as fans from the reaches of Russia to the theaters of Tokyo will cheer, one of the greatest living male dancers of our time—our modern-day Baryshnikov, if you will.

One of only five worldwide “Kings of the Dance,” Gomes bears another crown at home in New York, where he has long reigned as American Ballet Theatre’s standout prince. Earlier this season, to celebrate his 20th anniversary at ABT, the company hosted a “Midnight Supper” Fête for Gomes at the St. Regis New York.

Named in honor of Caroline Astor’s famous midnight suppers of New York’s Gilded Age (the St. Regis was built by her son, John Jacob Astor IV), this “Midnight Supper” 92 QUEST

was a gathering of ballet-world luminaries, arts patrons, writers, fashion figures, and some of New York’s most social and philanthropic names. The private Library at the St. Regis was transformed into an intimate dining space, with an oval table spanning the length of the room. The event firm Ron Wendt Design created an ethereal forest scene on the tabletop that called to mind the stage sets from Giselle, which Gomes danced in the night prior to mark his 20 years with ABT. Dinner guests enjoyed French wines and Champagne over a menu of classic cuisine, which included some trademark St. Regis touches, including Red Snapper, and a celebratory dessert in honor of Gomes: Gâteau Saint-Honoré.

Among the toasts of the evening, perhaps ABT artistic director Kevin MacKenzie was most on point: “‘Stars’,” he observed, “cause a ‘sensation.’ But the ‘artist’s artist,’ or in this case the ‘dancer’s dancer,’ receives the highest compliment by being recognized by their community not for the sensation they have caused, but for the consistency of their sensibility.” And Gomes, as MacKenzie affirmed, has consistently delivered a reverence for the art form he serves, and has delivered that reverence with excellence—for 20 years. u

HARVEY

BY CHUCK PFEIFER

IF YOU EVER HAVE THE opportunity to chat with Harvey Keitel, be prepared to laugh. Recently, I was given that opportunity. It was a great pleasure to learn more about his incredible life. He and his backstories are hysterically funny, serious, and thought provoking.

Harvey is multi-faceted, open-minded, fiercely loyal, truthful, and respectful—both as an actor and a friend. He is the ultimate human being, and a true American. One might pass Harvey on the street without recognizing him. He is unpretentious and doesn’t go out of his way to attract attention. When he appears on stage or on the big screen, be assured that he has morphed into his character. One doesn’t say, “Oh, there’s Harvey Keitel.”

One sees the character. He gives his best friends loyalty, love, and respect. To those he doesn’t know—his theater fans—he gives the best performance possible with truthfulness and reality. Here, he gives us an honest discussion about his life and his work—very candid, very Harvey.

IMDB; THE RED LIST

Chuck Pfeifer: What did you do for fun growing up in Brighton Beach?

Harvey Keitel: One answer would take all our time. However, I wasn’t bad at stealing pigeons from other people’s coops, or trying to steal cars. One night, a friend and I were sitting “chickie” (slang for lookout) for two friends who were going to steal a car.

They managed to get behind the wheel of a car and start it up.

Before my buddy and I could jump in, they took off without us, and got arrested. I guess I got lucky that night.

CP: Where did you attend high school?

HK: Abraham Lincoln High School, but I was asked to leave, primarily because of truancy. A couple of buddies and I had a special club called the “Night Owls.” We frequented poolrooms and walked down the boardwalk singing, “Here come the night owls, whoo, whoo, whoo. Going our merry way, whoo, whoo, whoo.” We were 16. The Pittsburgh Pirates were in last place that season, and one of my friends was nicknamed “Pittsburgh” because he was always last in whatever he did. Pittsburgh is still a great friend. One of my friend’s brothers was a Marine, and that was attractive to me. At 17, I enlisted in the Marines and was sent to Camp Lejeune as a member of the 2nd Marine Division, but later moved on to the 6th Division. Shipping out to Lebanon, I arrived in time for Operation Blue Bat, which lasted from July to

October 1958. Operation Blue Bat was authorized by President Eisenhower, and was meant to bolster the pro-Western Lebanese government against internal opposition and threats from Syria and the United Arab Republic. My platoon leader sent four others and me into the pitch-dark and lonely desert, to watch for the Arab League Army that was supposed to be headed our way.

I thought, What the hell am I doing? There’s nobody here. The army never showed. I always say that I defeated the entire Arab League Army single-handedly.

The Marine Corps was my college. There, I learned my life’s lessons and found the identity I was seeking. It taught me values, like “one for all, and all for one.” And its motto—semper fidelis (“always faithful” or “always loyal”)—stuck with me. I’m disturbed by today’s rhetoric. I hear, “Oh, he’s liberal, he’s conservative, he’s a football player, what district are you from,” or this and that. I want to tell everyone that I was raised in Brighton Beach, went to Abraham Lincoln High School, spent three years in the marines and we all—every one of us—served together. We were all citizens. I want people to stand up and say that.

CP: What did you do for a living after your return from the marines?

HK: I worked as a shoe salesman for survival money before becoming a court stenographer.

CP: Why did you decide to become an actor?

HK: Being a court stenographer. Seriously, though, in retrospect, I suppose it was my early life, the struggles, and the Marine Corps—everything. It was all these things. I was looking for something else. I felt lost and wanted some excitement. A friend asked if I wanted to go for some acting lessons. Yeah, I said, and that was the beginning. I did summer stock in Nantucket when I was 25. Most other students were 15 or 16. In New York, I studied with Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, two of the best acting coaches.

Opposite page, top of reel: Keitel played Winston Wolf in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction; the part was written specifically for Keitel because, according to Tarantino, Keitel “had been my favorite actor since I was 16 years old.” Bottom of reel: Cesare Danova and Harvey Keitel in the 1973 film Mean Streets, which was directed by Martin Scorsese.

in a dreary building that seemed on the verge of collapse. I ascended the rickety stairs up to his office, thinking, What the heck? Who is this jerk?

On my first visit, one of the first things he said to me was, “See that clothing rack over there?”

Yeah, I answered. “Go count the hangers on the rack.” I told him there must be a 100. “Did you count them?” he asked. Of course I hadn’t. “Go back and count every one. Acting is reality. It is doing things with truthfulness and purpose.” That lesson has remained with me.

CP: Do you owe your success to those teachers or to your own ambition?

HK: In some ways, of course, I owe my success to them and to my other teachers. However, I have met wonderful, magical actors, great teachers—such as Frank Corsaro and Elizabeth Kent—and a whole host of others who’ve inspired me. One teacher, whose last name I can’t recall, but his first name was Anthony, was one of my greatest teachers ever. His office was 96 QUEST

I got an agent from this movie, and five years later, Scorsese directed me in Mean Streets, set in Little Italy, in New York City.

CP: How was it working with Richard Pryor and Jack Nicholson?

HK: I worked with Richard Pryor in Blue Collar. I didn’t find him particularly funny off-screen, but he was a very funny and brilliant comic. The script for Blue Collar was wonderful. The film—in which I played Jerry Bartowski—was directed by Paul Schrader, who was well known for his work on the screenplay for Taxi Driver.

Most people assume I knew Jack Nicholson when I started my career, but I didn’t. We met in 1982 while acting in The Border.

Jack was going to direct The Two Jakes, a very big film with lots

CP: You got your first role in Who’s That Knocking at My Door, directed by Scorsese. How did that happen?

HK: I was still working as a court stenographer, and I read an ad in a trade magazine that he was holding auditions. When I got to the auditions, there must have been 70 actors vying for a role in what was the first, or close to the first, 35-mm. film ever made. I made it to the final three. One of Marty’s assistants said, “See that room down the hallway?” Yeah, I said. “Go down there and wait for Marty.” The room was dark, but with enough light to see that it was a classroom and that a guy was sitting at a desk. “Sit down,’” he called. What are you talking about? I asked. Again, the man said, “Sit down.” Screw you, I responded, and the man got up and started toward me. I was ready to fight. About that time, I heard Marty’s voice from the back of the room. “Harvey, Harvey, stop. No, no, no, he’s an actor.” I later told Marty that the next time he wanted me to do improv, it might be a good idea to let me know. I got the role, and the movie was shot at NYU on weekends over a semester.

Four years later, it was distributed as a feature film. For that movie, Marty wrote a dream scene for me in which I was with five gorgeous girls of ill repute. The great actor, dancer, and choreographer Zina Bethune was my leading lady. As a side note, Zina was killed sometime later in a hit and run accident in L.A. when she stopped her car to help an injured possum in the road. I was so sorry about that.

ARTS of money involved, and he offered me a role. The studio didn’t want me; they wanted a bigger-name star. Before shooting began, I heard rumors I was going to be fired. I asked Jack about it.

“You’re not going to be fired,” he said. We were in his trailer the first day of shooting, and I noticed a huge bowl of fruit on his table. I said, jokingly, that it made me feel bad because I didn’t have any fruit. The next day there was a big bowl of fruit waiting for me. Jack always does the right thing.

CP: Tell me about De Niro.

HK: I met Robert De Niro at the Actor’s Studio. He was doing a scene with the great Sally Kirkland. Afterwards, Mary Anese, another actor, introduced us: “Bob, Harvey; Harvey, Bob.” We didn’t even say hello, but that’s how we met. It was that simple, and our friendship has endured. I respect him greatly. There were so many great actors at the Actor’s Studio that no one ever heard of and never will. That’s the nature of the acting business.

Some make it and some don’t, and there seems to be no explanation for that.

CP: You did nude scenes in a couple of movies . . .

HK: Stop there. Actors don’t do scenes. Instead, actors create events that make a story. Actors must be truthful, and go as far as their talent allows and enables them. They do it with discretion.

I go to the extreme of my ability, my own reality, and that of my character. It’s not a matter of being dressed or undressed. The two go together—ability and truth.

vey, How can you support this war?” I said, “Oh, please. Give me a break.” Then I read the book The Arrogance of Power: The Secret World of Richard Nixon, by Anthony Summers, and my whole perspective changed. It turned me around, and I began to demonstrate against the war. I don’t mean to denigrate those who served. That wasn’t their choice to make. Scorsese and a bunch of us went to D.C. in 1970 where a lot of demonstrations against the Vietnam War were taking place. We were filming a documentary, titled Street Scenes 1970, and some guys were waving the North Vietnam flag. I was trying to put a group of men together to fight them because they were so disrespectful.

The D.C. demonstration was reasonably peaceful, but the ones in New York City turned violent. It is my feeling that one can agree or disagree, but it must be done with respect. Street Scenes 1970 was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in 1971. You will see me in it.

CP: So many stars are chased by screaming fans. How do you handle that?

HK: It depends on how pretty they are.

CP: What is your favorite thing to do?

HK: I have a great wife, who loves the arts—theater, dance, and music—and we go often, and that keeps us busy. We also have a 12-and-a-half-year-old son, Roman. He’s a good kid, loves to dance, make films, and play basketball, his favorite sport. More importantly, I’m trying to teach him to be human.

CP: You’ve earned a number of awards. Tell us about those.

HK: First of all, I haven’t received enough awards. No actor ever does. You are making me too big a star. I did receive the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Award, the equivalent of an Academy Award, for my work in The Piano. Bad Lieutenant earned me a nomination for best lead actor, and I was nominated for an Oscar for Bugsy.

CP: What do you want god to say to you when you enter heaven?

HK: “Well done, Harvey. You were human.”

CP: Do you have a double?

HK: Tyrone Power is dead.

CP: What are your favorite curse words?

HK: Lots of them. I guess it would be f___.

CP: How do you feel about today’s shoot-’em-up movies, as compared to the more serious ones?

HK: First, I like a good laugh as much as anyone. However, we now live in the most serious of times ever, and people have to pay attention to what’s happening and be responsible. Greed is a sin, and, in my opinion, is a crime as well. Values are sacrificed because of greed. Granted, we have to make a living to maintain a lifestyle we enjoy, but when values are lost, we need to pay attention. Art itself is value, and theater is designed to bring to the screen or stage what’s happening around us.

CP: Do you play an instrument?

HK: No, but I love all kinds of music—jazz, Nashville, and classical. I love the network Classic Arts Showcase. It’s wonderful.

CP: How do you feel about actors being so public with their opinions?

HK: I think everyone should stand up anywhere, anytime—even on street corners if they want. I remember protestors during the Vietnam War. I cursed at them, wondering what the hell these people were thinking. In my ignorance, I didn’t understand.

One night at a New York City nightclub, a friend asked, “Har-

CP: If you hadn’t become an actor, what would you have done?

What is your passion?

HK: I would have studied liberal arts, and particularly literature.

That wasn’t initially true, but I came to love literature.

CP: Last but no less important, how did you meet your wife, Daphna? I understand she is a Canadian film and TV actress, screenwriter, and film director.

HK: That’s right. She is very talented, and I suppose that’s what drew me to her in the first place. The first time we met was at a De Niro birthday party in Rome. We had two dates, but unknown to me, she already had a boyfriend. We went our separate ways, and met again 17 years later—you guessed it— at a De Niro birthday party in L.A. We stayed together and married in Jerusalem, Israel, in 2001. The night of Roman’s birth in August 2004, I called De Niro. He was somewhere out of town. “Where are you?” he asked. In the hospital, I replied. Daphna has just given birth. What is today, Robert?

After a reflective moment, he replied, “My birthday.” u AUGUST 2017 97

ROYAL WELCOME H. G. WELLS, D. H. Lawrence, and W. B. Yeats all dined here, as did Arthur Conan Doyle, George Bernard Shaw, and James McNeill Whistler. Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, Noël Coward, and Rudyard Kipling each engaged in conversation over a table here. The Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, and the Duke of York, the future King George VI, often took lunch here, as would Diana, Princess of Wales, decades later. Brigitte Bardot, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Muhammad Ali, and Mick Jagger all peppered the place with glamour. And in 1973, it was here that David Bowie decided to retire Ziggy Stardust, his alter ego, with a star-studded party dubbed “The Last Supper.”

Ever since its debut back in 1865, the Café Royal has been famous as an epicenter of London’s fashionable set—a legend as one of London’s finest dining rooms, with what was long hailed as the best wine cellar in the world (it was, after all, a French wine merchant, Daniel Nicholas Thévenon, who opened the establishment after relocating to London in a bid to flee creditors from Paris). Today, patrons of the Café Royal are privy to this prestigious history, but they can lay claim to a luxury that even Winston Churchill couldn’t boast of: staying the night. After being acquired in 2008 by the hotel group The Set, the Café Royal underwent a three-year restoration led by David Chipperfield Architects, who, in association with the historic building architects Donald Insall Associates, masterfully reconceived the space as a plush five-star hotel. In its current incarnation, the Hotel Café Royal is the epitome of luxurious yet understated 21st-century style, counterbalanced by meticulously preserved historic rooms of the 1860s and 1920s.

In a city hardly short on history, one lament of loyal London

98 QUEST

visitors is space—hotel space, that is. Hotel Café Royal, in this regard, is a definitive bridge between London’s past and its future: upon arrival, guests bask in the chromatic light of the beautiful stained-glass entrance to the lobby before settling into what are quite sizeable rooms. The hotel, on posh Regent Street, is located in the heart of the city, with elegant Mayfair to the west and creative Soho to the east—well within walking distance of some of the finest shopping streets, tourist attractions, and theaters. The 160 guestrooms and six signature suites (some of which come with a nifty butler service) offer comfortably contemporary refinement.

The hotel manages to maintain its fine-dining heritage and flair for European café culture with a choice of two bars and two restaurants. Papillon, which opened in June, is a marriage of the best of French and British cuisines—and is the only restaurant in town to front vibrant Regent Street. Papillon is perfect for an elegant en-plein-air summertime dinner at night; in the morning, it’s a choice spot for coffee specialties and a rotating selection of delectable and inventive pastries.

But there’s no wrong dining choice at Hotel Café Royal, and from breakfast to lunch, afternoon tea (the hotel just won Best Traditional Afternoon Tea in the Afternoon Tea Awards 2017) to dinner, guests might very well opt not to venture beyond the hotel’s historic charms for culinary delights. Take it from this visitor: book a treatment at the in-house spa—the Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre—then sip and nibble the night away with a memorable view from Regent Street. u Hotel Café Royal: 68 Regent Street, London W1B 4DY, United Kingdom.

675 HEDGES LANE is a rare masterpiece. Executed from its inception with a sophisticated designer’s eye and a respected builder’s extreme focus on quality, the result is an entirely custom home built with attention to detail and seamlessly integrated into its extraordinary site. The artfully crafted details from all over the world—the finishes, fixtures, and furnishings—come together to deliver impeccable construction and a flawless layout that is completely cohesive in every way. The land and location—pastoral and beachy—inspired a home that blends a modern farmhouse aesthetic with a timeless European sensibility.

Situated on a wide, south-facing 2.3 acre lot in Sagaponack South, among the area’s most significant homes, this 11 bedroom estate stands out. The 12,600 square-foot home is composed of perfectly proportioned, open-flowing spaces.

Each room is thoughtfully planned, with elegant hand-picked materials and individual character to achieve a distinctive relaxed vibe. Interiors are very layered, cozy and comfortable, with a blend of natural elements—metal, stone, wood, and fabric. In this home, textural contrasts create visual interest. In the kitchen, for example, the island pairs a smooth Calacatta Gold marble top with a paneled and columned base. Instead of 100 QUEST

stools there are upholstered benches. The range has a custom dark metal steel-hammered hood. The ceiling is comprised of stunning natural wood beams and planking.

The guest house appears completely separate from the main house, but is connected through a gallery in the lower level, where a window along the way reveals a Zen garden in a sunken courtyard. Floor to ceiling windows in the light-filled gym also showcase the garden. The grounds are equally captivating.

High mature hedges enclose the property for maximum privacy while the trees and plants within are artfully placed to maximize colorful views from every angle. The 60 x 20 pool has an inviting 8 x 8 inlaid spa, and the north and south-facing tennis court is cleverly sunken with sloped grass surround.

Nothing short of spectacular, walking through the home is the only way to experience the refined taste, exceptional craftsmanship, and sophisticated edge that went into creating this magical place. u 675 Hedges Lane in Sagaponack South, New York, is listed for $23,950,000 by Saunders & Associates.

400 “WHY THERE ARE ONLY about four hundred people in fashionable New York society,” boasted Ward McAllister, the lawyer and author of Society As I Have Found It. “If you go outside that number you strike people who are either not at ease in a ballroom or else make other people not as ease.” Such judgment inspired McAllister when in 1892 he set out for the first time to assemble a guest list for Mrs. William Astor. Accordingly, the list of invitees was set at 400. Twenty-four years ago, well into another time and century, McAllister’s legacy was reaffirmed and his wisdom validated when a list was born in a publication about New York society. With a number and tone harkening back to McAllister, the first ever Quest 400 was published in 1993.

Lists, inevitably, define our culture—what’s hot, what’s not; who’s in, who’s out. From Vanity Fair’s “International Best108 QUEST

Dressed List” to People magazine’s “Most Beautiful People,” they are followed by all, insiders and outsiders alike. This list, the Quest 400, represents an alphabetical “Who’s Who” of New York society.

This August, the Quest 400 continues the tradition of selecting citizens who exemplify Manhattan’s social vibrancy through cultural, economic, and philanthropic endeavors. They adhere to Brooke Astor’s belief that “money is like manure; it’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around.” And so, when the names and personalities of this year’s list gather and engage each other at the annual Quest 400 party held at Doubles, in the SherryNetherland, one might almost glimpse Countess Ellen Olenska or hear Daisy Buchanan’s voice, “full of money,” fluttering by in the conversation. —David Patrick Columbia

Today, “the Met� is the largest art museum in the United States and is among the most visited art museums in the world. It boasts a permanent collection of over 2,000,000 works divided among 17 curatorial departments.

Central Park West This illustration captures the iconic residences of Central Park West—a neighborhood of ornamented buildings stretching from Columbus Circle to the northern reaches of the park itself. Central Park West remains one of the most sought-after addresses in Manhattan due to its prime location and quiet atmosphere.

The Guggenheim Museum The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum—or, simply, “The Guggenheim”—is located at 1071 Fifth Avenue, on a stretch of the Upper East Side known as Museum Mile.

The Guggenheim is the home of a continuously expanding collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early contemporary art, and also features special exhibitions throughout the year. The museum was established in 1939 by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, and adopted its current name after the death of its founder, in 1952.

The New York Public Library The New York Public Library was built by Carrère and Hastings from 1897 to 1911. Since the opening of its doors, the New York Public Library has become a staple of America’s intellectual fabric.

The combination of scholarly research collections and its many community branches work together to enrich its holdings and foster accessibility. Outside its headquarters at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, two marble lions rest with proud gazes, marking the entrance to the stately Beaux-Arts building.

Brownstones Brownstones, the historic townhouses that date back to the early 1800s, remain popular in New York City today—especially throughout the Upper West Side. Brownstone, also known as freestone due to its durability and advantages as a building material, is the key material used for constructing these row houses of the same name. These townhouses can also be characterized by their stoop—a steep staircase rising from the street to the entrance of what amounts to the second-floor level.

Rockefeller Center Commissioned by the Rockefeller family beginning in 1930, Rockefeller Center is a large complex of high-rise commercial buildings that occupies the area between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue in the center of midtown. Since it is among the last major building projects in the United States to incorporate a program of integrated public art, Rockefeller Center represents a turning point in the history of American architectural sculpture. It remains to this day the home of a remarkable number of Art Deco motifs and sculptures, including Prometheus—the most iconic sculpture in Rockefeller Center, and the most photographed sculpture in New York City. Prometheus was built in 1934 by Paul Manship, who was passionate about mythological subjects and events.

Greenwich Village Bordered by Broadway to the east and the North River to the west, Greenwich Village, often referred to as “the Village,” has the low-rise character and neighborly charm of a European city. Recently it has witnessed a wave of gentrification and commercialization—making it an even more coveted zip code. The Village will always be remembered as an artists’ haven and the cradle of the modern LGBT movement.

Rizzoli Bookstore, 57th Street The famous bookstore, which occupied a luxurious townhouse in the heart of midtown, was long loved by New Yorkers.

When word of its intended demolition surfaced, thousands petitioned against the plan.

The high-end book publisher, unable to save the icon, has since relocated to a new address on Broadway—in NoMad.

STORIED MANSIONS In the first two decades of the 20th century, private mansion-buildings flourished along Park Avenue.

BY DAVID PATRICK COLUMBIA

BACK IN the early days of the new country, after Percy Rivington Pyne the grid was put in place (1857-1929). in New York, in the second decade of the 19th century, Park Avenue was called Fourth Avenue. Fourth was the avenue that carried the tracks of Cornelius Vanderbilt’s New York and Harlem Railroad. The railroad had entered daily life of New Yorkers, but living with it was no picnic.

Besides the steam, there was the soot and the endless noise whenever it passed.

The public demanded that something be done about it despite Mr. Vanderbilt’s objections.

By the 1870s, the railroad tracks on Fourth Avenue were covered. Then, in 1888, the tracks above 47th Street north to 97th Street were covered. That single change of covering the tracks and creating the Park Avenue Tunnel—which ends at the Park Avenue Viaduct on 97th Street—was enough for developers and individuals to build brownstone houses (and stores).

In the first two decades of the 20th century, private mansion-buildings flourished along Park Avenue north of 60th Street. A century later, there are only a handful left.

The following are three prominent examples which remain intact (although no longer private residences) and one whose 128 QUEST

architectural ghost remains to remind.

In 1906, Percy Rivington Pyne, banker and financier, purchased the lots on the southwest and northwest corners of 68th Street and Park Avenue to build a mansion on the northwest corner.

He also bought the south corner of 68th so that he could choose who his neighbor might be and avoid an apartment house towering over his residence. Harold Pratt would become his southern neighbor.

Pyne hired McKim, Mead and White to design, and waited until 1909 when the Park Avenue tracks were successfully covered over.

The house, number 680 Park Avenue, was completed two years later.

Percy Rivington Pyne died in 1929, at 72. In 1947 his widow sold the house to the Chinese Delegation to the U.N. Shortly thereafter it was sold again to the Soviet Mission to the U.S. The house became a center for public controversy soon thereafter.

In 1960, Nikita Khrushchev came to New York and stayed there. One morning Mr. Khrushchev appeared on the balcony over the front entrance to talk to the crowd that had assembled out of curiosity. According to the New York Times, the Soviet Premier sang the “Internationale” and spoke to the crowd about foreign policy and the arms race.

This page: The Percy Rivington Pyne House.

The Soviets sold the house to a real estate developer whose intention was to build a 31-story apartment house.

In 1964, having built a much larger mansion on East 66th Street, the Soviets sold the house to a real estate developer whose intention was to build a 31-story apartment house.

The developers had immediately begun interior demolition on nos. 680 and 684 when in January of 1965, the Marquesa de Cuevas, a granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, bought the properties. The Marquesa donated 680 Park to the Center for Inter-American Relations (now the Americas Society). The other properties were sold to buyers sympathetic to her cause.

The Harold Pratt House. Harold Pratt was the youngest son 130 QUEST

of oil mogul Charles Pratt whose fortune came from the family company’s merger with Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. William Adams Delano was hired to design the house. The family moved in early 1920.

Mr. Pratt had become a member of the fledgling Council on Foreign Relations, which was founded in 1921 with the charter of affording “Continuous conference on international questions affecting the United States, by bringing together experts on statecraft, finance, industry, education and science.”

Mr. Pratt died of pneumonia in 1939 at age 62. His widow Harriet continued to live in the house until 1945 when she gifted the mansion to the CFR as a memorial to her husband, stipulating that it be known as the Harold Pratt House.

The Redmond Houses. In April 1912, a man named Geraldyn Redmond and his sister-in-law, Countess de Langiers Villars had bought six Victorian townhouses that ran from 69th Street north on Park Avenue. The intention was to build “a large dwelling on the site.” It would be two houses built as one, and looking as one, but with two different entrances.

Although an unfamiliar name in New York today, the

Opposite page, clockwise from top left: William Rutherford Mead, Charles Follen McKim, and Stanford White; the exterior of the Union Club; a photo of the Redmond House from the Yearbook of the Architectural League of New York, 1915.

Redmonds were, like the Pynes, the Bakers, and the Pratts, established members of Society. Mr. Redmond had a banking firm as well as having inherited a lucrative linen business.

His wife was a direct descendant of Robert Livingston who received the grant from Queen Anne in the late 17th Century for what became 160,000 acres of what is now a significant part of Columbia County.

McKim, Mead and White were hired to design the double five-story stone residence. Construction was completed by the end of 1914, when Mr. and Mrs. Redmond and their three sons and the Countess’ sister moved into their respective residences.

Then Mrs. Redmond died suddenly a little more than a year later, in June 1916. Two years later, Mr. Redmond died suddenly “of paralysis” at age 64.

After Mr. Redmond’s death in June 1920, his heirs decided to lease the house. Then on June 1927, the exclusive Union Club bought the property from the Redmond heirs for $1.265 million. Delano & Aldrich were hired to design the club.

Construction would be delayed until the houses’ leases expired.

The Baker House. In April 1915, a banker named Francis

Palmer purchased a house on the northeast corner of 93rd and Park which had been built in 1847 for General Winfield Scott, hero of the War of 1812. The following year, the house was demolished and Palmer hired Delano & Aldrich to design his house. Construction began in 1917 and completed in 1918.

Eight years later, in 1926, the house was purchased by George F. Baker Jr., son of the Chairman of the First National Bank (now known, many mergers later as Citi), purchased the adjacent lot and hired Delano & Aldrich to build a large ballroom overlooking the garden, and a connecting house for his father (who died before the house was completed).

Their father George Baker Jr. died suddenly in 1937 from peritonitis while on his yacht in the Hawaiian islands. His widow within a few years closed off the main house and ballroom wing and turned staff quarters above the garage into a pied-à-terre while spending the majority of her time at the Baker estate in Long Island. In 1958, she sold the house to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, which had been established during the Revolution in 1920. The church remains owner of the house. u AUGUST 2017 131

“MY WORK IN LUXURY fashion made a huge impact on my approach to what constitutes luxury in all aspects of our lifestyles,” says Laura “LouLou” Baker, the founder and creative director of Peep’s Paper Products, a Washington, D.C.–based luxury paper-products company. “I believe that the most beautiful, unique clothing goes hand in hand with having equally unique accouterments—in this instance, paper items.” And LouLou should know. Having grown up with a mother who was a professional artist, LouLou has painted all her life. She graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute, and her skillful eye for luxury was honed over seven years in the New York fashion

world, working for the likes of Moschino, Narciso Rodriguez, Thakoon, Givenchy, and Suno. But painting has always been her passion, so she transitioned from fashion back to her first love and, along the way, founded Peep’s Paper Products, which specializes in painted prints, luxurious note cards, and a whimsical and eye-catching series of playing cards meant to capture several major cities and their landmarks.

not be any more luxurious and special,” LouLou professes.

“Peep’s Paper Products are meant to be an outlet into a whimsical world of enjoyment, using the finest paper and fabrics and considering longevity, tradition, and modernity. When I work with a new client I feel like I am playing in a dollhouse—building this little universe for someone that is wildly whimsical. It thrills me when I get an email that someone wants their horse drinking a martini, their dog reading The Night Before Christmas for their holiday party, a seahorse smoking a cigar with bubbles coming out of the pipe.”

The original idea for the cards came to her while on a vacation of her own. LouLou was at her family’s East Coast country club when she imagined a set of playing cards for herself depicting a blue heron at the club—playing tennis, sailing, swimming, at croquet. They seemed to resonate with everyone who saw them, and orders started flowing in. With that whimsical deck of cards, Peep’s Paper Products was born. Today, Peep’s produces custom and stock illustrations on playing cards, wrapping paper, invitations, notecards, and prints, and recently 134 QUEST

launched a luxury baby book this past spring.

The bird playing cards series are the amalgamation of LouLou’s favorite things: travel, memories, and art. As such, there’s a set for many cities close to LouLou’s heart. Each card, curated with a thoughtful eye to detail, has allowed her to revisit places and experiences; her illustrations are meant to draw their owners into a world caught between imagination and reality. For instance, for New York, a city home to a prolific pigeon population, LouLou crafted a set of playing cards featuring the pesky bird in places we’ve all seen them before, but perhaps never quite like this: clad in Chanel on the Upper East Side, strutting in fashionable boots in Tribeca, pushing a stroller in Brooklyn, or crossing Fifth Avenue in black tie for a Met Ball arrival. Other cities have their own birds: a bald eagle for D.C., a pelican for San Francisco, a pink flamingo for Baltimore (an ode to John Waters), and the blue heron for Gibson Island. Most New Yorkers would probably never have imagined inviting a pigeon into their homes, but with LouLou’s inventive card set, why not raise the stakes for that next poker night? u

MAN O’ WAR’S 100TH BIRTHDAY

BY AUDAX MAN O’ WAR, one of the two or three best racehorses in the history of the sport in North America, is celebrating his 100th birthday anniversary this year, and a special exhibition has been mounted in his honor at the National Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs.

Called “the mostest horse that ever was” by his groom, Will Harbut, Man o’ War won 20 out of 21 races in his storied career.

Bred at Lexington, Kentucky at Nursery Farm by Jockey Club chairman August Belmont II, Man o’ War was sold when Belmont dispersed all of his yearling breeding stock and joined the Army, aged 65, to fight in World War I. While Belmont was

overseas, his wife named the foal Man o’ War in honor of her husband. At the Saratoga yearling sale in 1918, Man o’ War was sold at a final bid of $5,000 to Samuel D. Riddle, who brought him to his Glen Riddle Farm near Berlin, Maryland. Two years later, Riddle declined an offer of $400,000 for the horse.

Man o’ War, would make his first start for trainer Louis Feustel on June 6, 1919 at Belmont Park.

“Man o’ War was unusually impressive from the time of his first start,” says Ed Bowen, racing historian and a former editorin-chief of BloodHorse. “He had an incredible aura, as compared to Exterminator and some of the other stars of the era. He was a

bright, luxurious chestnut with a high head and haughty manner, and he won most of his races with a great flourish.”

Turf writer Joe Palmer wrote, “He could get in no position which suggested actual repose, and his very stillness was that of a coiled spring, of the crouched tiger.” His stride was measured at 28 feet, believed to be the longest of all time.

In ten races during his 2-year-old season of 1919, Man o’ War posted nine wins, none coming by less than a length. His only loss as a juvenile—and for his career—came in the Sanford Stakes at Saratoga, when he started slowly, was hemmed in traffic, and could not make up enough ground to defeat Upset.

Man o’ War was even better at age three, winning all 11 of his starts. Despite carrying high weight assignments in many of his starts that year, he set records in eight of them. Man o’ War won the Preakness Stakes; the Belmont Stakes by twenty lengths; the Dwyer Stakes; the Travers Stakes; the Lawrence Realization by

100 lengths; and the Jockey Club Gold Cup before resoundingly defeating 1919 Triple Crown winner Sir Barton by seven lengths in the Kenilworth Park Gold Cup match race. That was his final career start on October 12, 1920, and Man o’ War retired with a record of 20 wins and one second from 21 races.

Standing in retirement primarily at Faraway Farm in Kentucky, Man o’ War sired the 1937 Triple Crown winner War Admiral among many other high-class racehorses. Man o’ War died at age 30 in 1947, and his remains were moved from Faraway Farm to the Kentucky Horse Park during the 1970s. His gravesite and the iconic bronze statute nearby by sculptor Herbert Haseltine are among the most popular attractions at the park.

Kentucky horseman Ira Drymon said, “He touched the imagination of men and they saw different things in him. But one thing they will all remember was that he brought exaltation into their hearts.” u

A PROJECT NAMED FOR MAN O’ WAR TO HELP MEN OF WAR AND HORSES A STUDY NAMED for Man o’ War is now well under way that aims to help veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by providing them with equine-assisted therapy, and in the process gives retired horses a valuable new purpose as well. The study is being funded by The Man O’ War Project, a non-profit set up by army veteran and lifelong horseman, Ambassador Earle Mack, who had a hunch that stressed soldiers and horses would be a good match. Mack approached Columbia University’s Department of Psychiatry with the idea. Columbia agreed to undertake a research trial that would put approximately 60 PTSD-suffering veterans through an equine therapy program.

James MacGuire, the Man o’ War Project’s chairman says, “If this Phase One trial is successful, we plan to take the program to a national level,” eventually seeking grants and funding through the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and the Veterans Administration.

Anne Poulson, the Man o’ War Project’s board president added, “It is a crisis in our country when 20 veterans commit suicide a day. We have to broaden the ways to treat our veterans.”

“Horses, by nature, are prey animals, and so they’re hypervigilant and reactive to people’s behavior,” said Prudence Fisher, a professor of clinical psychiatric social work at Columbia, who has been co-directing the study for the past year.

In the study, three or four veterans at a time spend 90 minutes with two horses and two staff members once a week for eight weeks, slowly learning to interact with and become comfortable with the animals and learning about themselves through them.

“The veterans feel that the horses are mirroring what they feel,” said Yuval Neria, a medical psychology professor at Columbia and the study’s other director. “They are both fearful, initially, they are both apprehensive, initially, they avoid being together, and over time they develop the ability to be together.”

The idea is to address PTSD, a signature disorder among veterans which has a host of emotional symptoms, from angry outbursts and difficulty sleeping, to trouble concentrating or avoidance of trauma-related triggers. Pharmacological and

traditional talk therapy are not always effective.

“There’s a lot about trust, about being clear with your intentions,” Fisher said. Describing one veteran who was terrified of horses in the first session, she said, “by the 3rd session the horse is putting his head on him and he’s leaning on the horse.” Another veteran, for example, was afraid to take the subway before the sessions. Now that fear has lifted.

Participants so far have ranged in age from 30 to 68. “We have Vietnam vets, they’ve had chronic PTSD for years, and never got treatment,” Fisher said.

In fact, the horses themselves may also benefit from the program. The ones selected tend to be mellow, older horses, including some former racehorses, who appreciate having some purpose in their lives.

“When they retire they have nothing really to offer and they are sometimes slaughtered or live in very difficult conditions,” Neria said. “Not all horses receive fair and appropriate treatment. It’s a very fascinating opportunity to bring together traumatized horses and traumatized vets to interact and to overcome what they both suffer from.”

To Matthew Ryba, a Marine Corps veteran who did tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, the approach makes sense. “A horse is a kind of animal that a lot of soldiers are able to identify with, as a military animal. Like soldiers, they’re attuned to their environment. The way a horse feels when someone new is approaching them, it’s kind of a reflection of similar emotions that a vet would be experiencing.”

At one session Ryba was present for, a veteran entered saying he had a fear of horses. By the end of the ninety minutes, he didn’t want to leave. To Ryba, that was a very good sign.

“I’ve lost friends to suicide,” he said. “If they’d had this option, that’s something that could have broken down some walls for them.” —Audax

THE MET’S YOUNG MEMBERS PARTY

CO U RTE S Y O F PAT R I C K M C M U LL A N

THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART once again threw its

highly anticipated Young Members Party on June 22, where nearly a thousand attendees between the ages of 21 and 45 enjoyed an evening of cocktails, art, and dancing during the museum’s after hours. The affair was thrown by the Met’s Apollo Circle, who was welcomed for an exclusive VIP rooftop pre-party to view The Roof Garden Commission: The Theater of Disappearance. The crowd’s artistic spirit was fully displayed by the enlivening outfits that were flaunted throughout the museum’s

corridors; many sported bright colors, sparkles, and prints that went hand in hand with the venue’s eclectic atmosphere. Perhaps even more eye-catching were the works by surrealist Jacolby Satterwhite projected on screens throughout the museum’s corridors. These images and videos, which explored sensitive subjects such as mental illness, were certainly engaging yet a bit unnerving. Aside from viewing exciting art exhibits, guests enjoyed fun music by Kindness and top-notch cocktails, leaving everyone anxiously awaiting next year’s celebration.

THE NEW FOUR-PART HBO documentary series, The Defiant

THE LONG-AWAITED opening of EMP Summer House has fi-

The series is about the relationship between Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, who both attended the screening, and their miraculous journey to establish the very successful headphone company now known as Beats. The show is peppered with archival footage and has received glowing feedback. The New York City premiere of the HBO series took place at the Time Warner Center. Some other notable attendees include LL Cool J, Peter Cincotti, Liberty Ross, Louisa Warwick, and Nicole Young.

nally arrived. The summer pop-up location of New York’s best restaurant—and the world’s as of late—was the place to see and be seen during its opening. Chef Daniel Humm changed up the traditional multi-course tasting menu to something that he believes will blend better with the Hamptons’ summer lifestyle.

The restaurant opened with a lobster boil that was attended by a sea of beautiful people, including the likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Julia Engel, Alexandra Scott, Dria Murphy and many more well-dressed guests.

REVOLVE’S FOURTH OF JULY BASH

CO U RTE S Y O F B FA

IN THE SPIRIT of the good ‘ol US of A’s birthday, Revolve

Clothing—the virtual home for an unrivaled collection of some of the most popular established and emerging brands in women’s apparel—again held their stylish party at an estate in the Hamptons. Hosted by Hailey Baldwin, the event attracted renowned models such as Romee Strijd, Natasha Oakley, Sophia Smith, and Jasmine Tookes, who wore outfits styled by Glamapp. Guests occupied themselves by playing ‘surf-meetscirque’ games such as highstriker, dunk tank, corn hole, and

life-sized Jenga, while ScHoolBoy Q gave a live performance.

Luckily, the party was stocked with FIJI water so everyone could stay hydrated after breaking a sweat while dancing to the music. Better yet, this highly coveted happening was only Revolve’s kick-off to a long-awaited series of events that take place over the month of July—its third annual month-long social and marketing activation. Given the series of highly exclusive events taking place in the Hamptons, it will be hard to scroll through Instagram without coming across ‘#RevolveintheHamptons.’ u AUGUST 2017 159

IN MEMORIUM

HIS WAS A FABULOUS New York story, the kind that haunts the dreams of many American boys or girls, as well as the novels of Scott Fitzgerald and John O’Hara. He first came here with his mother in 1947 when he was 15—from Detroit, where he grew up. They stayed at the Waldorf. In those days, this was where the Duke and Duchess of Windsor put up when in town.

Its Presidential Suite was for our presidents. None of this was lost on the boy.

He and his mother went to the theatre every day, and twice on Wednesday. They had four meals a day “at all the good restaurants”—breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper after the theatre—and walked the avenues (especially Fifth).

That single trip to New York was a seminal moment in his life.

He knew then what he was going to do and where he was going when he grew up—to the land where designers and artists “were treated like celebrities.” After college (U. Michigan, RISD), he came directly to the city. The first 10 years he was a shoe designer (for Roger Vivier at Dior, for Delman at Bergdorf’s). In 1961 he started designing shoes for fashion designers. For a new collection by Arnold Scaasi, he was asked to design some bejeweled shoes. Jewelry design had already been much on his mind.

Besides the shoes, for Scaasi’s collection he designed matching 160 QUEST

bracelets. They were a hit! A fashion tycoon was born.

In 1962 he presented his first costume jewelry collection.

Already part of the Seventh Avenue designer crowd who was beginning to move in the world of society—and each with their own labels—Kenny, as he was known to all his friends and associates, moved with them. Soon among his clients were the big names such as Babe Paley, Audrey Hepburn, Garbo, Jackie, Nan Kempner. They wanted Kenny’s costume jewelry. It became chic, and so did Kenny Lane’s crowds of friends on both coasts, as well as in Europe.

The image he created was that of an international social figure.

But Kenny was a worker. He was in his studio every morning. His costume jewelry never went out of style because style was what it was. He traveled frequently to Europe, India, and Asia. He was always meeting people and learning. Kenny was a reader, a learner. It was all an ongoing progression of the boy from De-twa. It was also a charmed life and he was the charm.

“I am myself a fabulous fake,” he once remarked, reminding that despite the air he presented—of a man born to the purple— he knew who he was, and how he got there. And where he was going. Adieu, Kenny—you will be missed.
