Revision as of 22:38, 20 February 2006 by 70.19.56.230 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Betsy Bloomingdale (born August 2, 1926 in Southern California; some sources indicate she was born in 1922) is an internationally known socialite and the author of three cookbooks. She is best known as a friend of Nancy and Ronald Reagan, and for her marriage to Alfred S. Bloomingdale.
Mrs. Bloomingdale is a Roman Catholic and her husband, Alfred, converted to her religion, but that did not stop a great scandal from befalling their marriage regarding his extramarital affairs (see ]). This may be why she buried him in a $200 wooden box without notifying his relatives, including his brother.
She was involved in fundraising projects for the Los Angeles Cathedral.
