Betsy Bloomingdale (born Betty Lee Newling on August 2 1926, although some sources indicate 1922) is an internationally known socialite.
She authored a book on entertaining, but is best-known as the widow 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. However, Bloomingdale remains friendly with Dunne, appearing with him at the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2006. Other friends have included Joan Collins and the late East Coast socialiate Nan Kempner.
Mrs. Bloomingdale is a lifelong resident of Los Angeles, currently residing in Holmby Hills.
