Frances Kiernan: In the Bathroom With Charlene Marshall

Frances Keirnan hadn’t seen Brooke Astor’s embattled daughter-in-law Charlene Marshall since the latter showed up to challenge the author’s unflattering portrait of her at a reading for her book, The Last Mrs. Astor: A New York Story . Keirnan assumed she would hate Marshall forever. Then they came face-to-face when reaching for paper towels in the courthouse ladies’ room, and bonding ensued. [NYM]
