Anthony Dryden Marshall


Hair raising day for Anthony Dryden Marshall as he is escorted by detectives into Criminal Court to face charges of fraud, forgery and grand larceny relating to the handling of Brooke Astor's will and financial affairs. Mr Marshall is the only son of Brooke Astor, who died last August at 105. Astor was an philanthropist and socialite, who's estate was estimated to be worth close to 200 million dollars when she died. As you can see it was a fairly windy day. I had shot a lot of photos and frankly had enough, but then I got a second wind as his hair raised slowly almost as if it were doing a pirouette. The top image appeared on the cover of the NY Post but the other gets right to the point.
