Amanda Hearst

(nytimes.com)
Amanda is the twenty something year old daughter of Anne Hearst and great granddaughter of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst. Her aunt Patty Hearst was infamously kidnapped in 1979 by the Symbionese Liberation Army. Amanda attended The Chapin School in Manhattan before moving on to Choate-Rosemary Hall. In 2002 Amanda came out into society at the Crillon Ball in Paris. She spent the first three years of college at Boston College, studying Art History, and reportedly transfered to Fordham University this past year and will graduate in December. She now works as a part time model, often times getting jobs because of her famous surname (Amanda’s mother split up from her father Richard McChesney before she was born, and recently eloped with the famous novelist Jay McInerney) and curates art at the Gogosian Gallery. Amanda dates Winston Lapham, son Lewis Lapham, the former editor of Harper’s. Her cousin Lydia Hearst-Shaw is a popular model-socialite, and Lydia’s sister Gillian Hearst-Shaw recently announced her engagement to Christian Simmons. Amanda has modeled for Ralph Lauren and Lily Pulitzer and is actively involved in the Riverkeeper organization. It has been reported that she spends an estimated $130,000 on clothes.
