Charlene Marshall, married to Brooke Astor's son Anthony Marshall, broke down on her way to her husband's trial this morning. The Post reports, "The tears began as photographers descended on Charlene Marshall as she walked into Manhattan Supreme Court with her husband Anthony, 84." The Daily News' version: "The waterworks started when photographers descended on Charlene Marshall as she walked into the Manhattan courthouse on the arm of her husband, Anthony." Both tabloids say she told photographers, "Oh, please don't," when they took pictures of her (the News has one of her looking red-eyed and looking rather miserable).

The trial of Brooke Astor's son Anthony Marshall is a glimpse into high society. Well, a glimpse of high society amid accusations of elder abuse, swindling money from a senile woman, and more. The Post reports that one of the the prosecution's exhibits is "a remarkably detailed scale model of Brooke Astor's 16th-floor apartment overlooking Park Avenue at 72nd Street." The model's rooms appear to emulate the actual decoration of Astor's co-op, which is on the market for $29 million, including parquet-type floors and wallpaper. The Post adds, "You can almost smell the dog urine on the infamous Blue Room couch."
