File this one under Interesting Obituaries. Huguette Clark was "the daughter of a scoundrel" and heiress to the Clark copper fortune. She had lived in seclusion in Manhattan since the late 1930s.
For the quarter-century that followed, Mrs. Clark lived in the apartment in near solitude, amid a profusion of dollhouses and their occupants. She ate austere lunches of crackers and sardines and watched television, most avidly "The Flintstones." A housekeeper kept the dolls' dresses impeccably ironed.
