DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE A HEIRESS AMONG OUR FORDHAM FAMILY?

Amanda Hearst is an American socialite born in New York City and she is also an heiress to the Hearst Family Fortune.* Hearst worked at Marie Claire, a Hearst Corp. property, where she was the associate marketing editor. 📷 (Photo 1)

She received her education from Fordham University (FCLC 2008) with a BA in Art History. Note: She started out at Boston College another Jesuit University.

Her great-grandfather was William Randolph Hearst.

The American newspaper publisher, and politician who developed the nation's largest newspaper chain and media company, Hearst Communications. He may best be remembered as the thinly veiled subject of the classic film Citizen Kane. Spoiler Alert: Rosebud was a sled.

Her aunt is Patty Hearst. The photo below comes from a terrible time in her life when she was kidnapped and under the influence of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). A small, American militant organization active between 1973 and 1975.

Hearst later claimed she was subjected to a series of ordeals while in SLA captivity; her mother later described these as "brainwashing". The announced change in Hearst's politics through the following months has been attributed to Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological response in which a hostage exhibits apparent loyalty to the abductor.

Patty Hearst's attorney F. Lee Bailey used the Stockholm Syndrome argument as part of her defense at trial. He claimed that she had been confined in a closet barely large enough for her to lie down in; that her contact with the outside world was regulated by her captors; and that she was regularly threatened with execution. 📷 (Photo 2)

She was convicted of the Hibernia Bank robbery, in San Francisco, and sentenced to seven years in prison. After she had been in prison for 21 months, US President Jimmy Carter commuted the sentence to time served. She was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton.

Amanda is a direct descendant of gold tycoon and future U.S. Senator George Hearst, whose ruthless-if exaggerated-business dealings in the 1870s American West became the central plot of HBO’s series Deadwood. The entire Hearst fortune can be traced back to these origins.

Her wedding, to Norwegian Film Director, Joachim Ronning,** was memorable by any standard. The 4 day celebration was held at Hearst Castle in California. The bride wore not one, but five gowns. (popsugar.com) 📷 (Photo 3)

Ronning's most recent film is entitled Young Woman and the Sea. It stars Daisy Ridley of the recent Star Wars reboots.

She is also a model. She is involved in Friends of Finn, a charity she founded, which is an organization that focuses on preventing and stopping puppy mills, which treat dogs inhumanely. 📷 (Photo 4)
