The story of the Astors is a quintessentially American story of ambition, invention, destruction, and reinvention. From 1783, when German immigrant John Jacob Astor arrived in the United States, until 2009, when Brooke Astor’s son, Anthony Marshall, was convicted of defrauding her, the Astor name occupied a distinctive place in American society.
Journalist Anderson Cooper, in conversation with CNN’s Dana Bash, discusses the family’s riveting history from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. For more information, click here.
