Betsy Bloomingdale was born Betty Lee Newling on August 2, 1926, in Southern California; some sources indicate she was born in 1922. An internationally known socialite and the author of a book of entertaining, she is perhaps best known as the wife of Alfred S. Bloomingdale and a friend of Nancy and Ronald Reagan.
A Roman Catholic, she was involved in fundraising projects for the Los Angeles Cathedral.
Bloomingdale's life and marriage and her husband's well-publicized affair were the basis of Dominick Dunne's novel An Inconvenient Woman.
Mrs. Bloomingdale is a lifelong resident of Los Angeles.
