This is just so sad. I was wondering what had happened to Brooke Astor. I used to see her photos in the newspaper of her at some philanthropic event or another. Jeez, she's 104, just how selfish do you have to be to deny your mother a few pleasures at the end of her life? A pox on her disgusting, greedy son--and his equally unpleasant wife. So, these two are both broadway producers? Then maybe it's true what they say about producers!

That's how one gets rich! They sound like the Bluths from "Arrested Development", but without the love and comedy.

does she live in Astoria

From some posts regarding the blackout, she should be in a nursing home if she can't live on her own. Or, she should have some MRE's and blankets (wool and down)

Geezus, why is it that it's always the richest f_cks that are the cruelest, cheapest bastards?
