Madeleine Astor
Late that summer, Madeleine gave birth to a healthy baby. However, she became a known survivor, and the public’s interest in her made things even more challenging. Reportedly, she felt “inconvenienced by the curious.” She didn’t like to speak about the event, but it was like a dark cloud that followed her throughout her life.

Since she was Astor’s widow and the mother of his child, Madeleine was entitled to a trust as long as she didn’t get married again. However, she did, in fact, remarry in 1916 and then got divorced before tying the knot once again- to an abusive Italian boxer. In 1940, she passed away at age 46.
