Anne Hearst, heir to the Hearst family fortune (and sister of notorious kidnappee Patty), is a socialite and a contributing editor at Town & Country. The granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, the publishing titan who inspired Citizen Kane, Anne was born in Beverly Hills and raised in the suburbs of San Francisco. After a stint in college and a little trouble with the law (she was arrested in 1975 for trying to cross U.S.-Canadian border with a bag of amphetamines in the car), Anne settled in New York in the early '80s and soon became a regular presence at galas and parties around town. She met her eventual third husband, author Jay McInerney, at a club in 1986, but lost touch with him until 2005, when the two met again in the Hamptons and were soon married in a 2007 ceremony officiated by Rudy Giuliani. She's been a contributing editor at Town & Country, a Hearst Corp.-owned title, since the 1990s.
