'Brooke Astor Turns 100
American treasure Mrs. Brooke Astor
celebrated her 100th year Saturday evening with 100 close friends at the
Rockefeller estate in Pocantico Hills. Guests, which included Kofi and Nane
Annan and Henry and Nancy Kissinger, gathered at the estates playhouse for
dinner - the same location Senator John D. Rockefeller IV had celebrated his
21st birthday over 40 years ago. Mr. Annan was given the place of honor seated
to Mrs. Astor's right while David Rockefeller, the host for the evening, sat to
her left. Mrs. Astor's son Anthony Marshall gave a toast, reminding guests that
his mother had been born before the zipper was popularized, before five states
had been admitted to the union and a year before the Wright brothers flew their
plane. An array of New York society was in attendance to pay homage to the icon
of class and style.'"
