In this episode of 92NY Talks, Anderson Cooper sits down with with his good friend Andy Cohen to discuss his new book, Astor: The Rise and Fall of an American Fortune - the story of an American dynasty whose trajectory follows a uniquely American arc of acquisition and loss, of glory and shame. After the success of Cooper's bestseller about his mother's family, Vanderbilt, he contemplated how nearly all the Astor real estate, money, and power were gone, along with the New York society they dominated.
The conversation was recorded on September 20, 2023 in front of a live audience at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
