Leslie Goddard returns as "Bertha Palmer"

Tuesday, October 11th, 12:00 PM | $18M/$22NM 
In this first-person program, set in 1893, Leslie Goddard portrays Bertha Honoré Palmer, the Chicago socialite, wife of real estate magnate Potter Palmer, and pace-setting arts patron. Although best remembered today for her Impressionist art collection, now at the Art Institute of Chicago, the glamorous Mrs. Palmer has her own fascinating story. As shrewd as she was stylish, Palmer helped recoup her husband’s financial losses after the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. At the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, she served as hostess to the world. Intelligent and witty, Mrs. Palmer still compels attention today.
