Yes, he had a heart condition, severe diabetes, a degenerative spinal disease affecting the spinal tissue, and arthritis.

Although Mr. Eastman adored beautiful, intelligent women and always surrounded himself with them, he never proposed marriage that we know of, and perhaps was never seriously in love. He had close friendships with women, mostly safely married women, all his life- example, the Lobster Quartet, after 1920. Also note his close relationship with Mrs. Josephine Dickman. Josephine Dickman was the widow of George Dickman, head of Mr. Eastman's Kodak Limited office in England. Mr. See similar questions...

Approximately 10 in 1905 and more later. During large events or in the summer this would increase, as he had outdoor staff, and hired day laborers at the back gates. An organizational chart found at the House indicates the possibility for as many as 30 domestic staff. See similar questions...

Mr. Eastman's associations with leading industrialists of his time were strictly on a business level. They attended business conventions and had their pictures taken together, but there was not a personal association. Ford, Firestone, and Edison were close friends, having family outings together on a regular basis. However, Mr. Eastman, not having a family that included children, was never invited. From the group, Edison was probably the closest to Mr. Eastman. Mr. See similar questions...

On November 29, 1986, while performing "An Evening With Cary Grant" in Davenport, Iowa, Cary complained about not feeling well. He was taken to the hospital where he died of a stroke a short time later. Cary was not buried. He was cremated and his ashes were given to his daughter, Jennifer, and his wife, Barbara. I do not know for certain what Jennifer and Barbara did with his ashes, but I have heard that they were scattered in the hills around his Beverly Grove house. See similar questions...

Yes, because she thought that the sufferings of the soldiers in the Crimean War had led to improvements in Britain that she had helped to bring about. Yes, almost certainly. A young man spent nine years before the war proposing marriage to her but she rejected him to do God’s work instead. No, probably not a practising one. She seems to have had passionate friendships with women in her adolescence and again late in life. But for most of her life she was happier in the company of men. See similar questions...

Research has revealed no evidence that Mr. Eastman was homosexual. Later in life, when questioned by a friend as to why he never married young, he stated: "I was too busy and too poor." A wise student of psychology pointed out that being grateful and under obligation to dispensers of favors, especially if they are rich and powerful, can create distrust and a certain amount of resentment. For this reason, many people feared and disliked Mr. Eastman. See similar questions...

No, she died of extreme old age at 90. There is no possibility at all that she had syphilis. Her life is extremely well-documented and the symptoms of syphilis are not compatible with what we know about her. But this rumour about syphilis is quite common. I have been told that it was publicised by a priest who was opposing a church proposal to commemmorate her. He said she was an atheist who died of syphilis, and this was widely published in the press and resulted in the proposal being dropped. See similar questions...
