First, there really was a Mrs Astor and she really did have control of who was and was not accepted into the inner circle of the elite.

00:00 - Intro
01:30 - What Was The Gilded Age?
02:16 - THE Mrs. Astor - Caroline Schermerhorn Astor
05:40 - Alva Vanderbilt (Bertha Russell character looks be based upon her to some degree)
07:56 - How a costume ball changed New York elite society in the Gilded Age

:: Did you Know:: Mark Twain called the late 19th century the "Gilded Age" while characterizing the period as glittering on the surface but corrupt underneath.

As for Bertha Russell in the HBO TV series, well, you can say that she might be loosely based upon Alva Vanderbilt of the very wealthy Vanderbilt family.

In this video, I lay out the details of the real life power struggle that prevailed between Mrs. Astor and Alva Vanderbilt. Watch to the end to get all the details and find out which woman wins in the end.

And please leave comments below on what you think about the comparisons made in my video. I would love to hear them!
