John primary income source is Celebrity. Horse racing is where I feel the most alive, and at home. You are my family. Marie Louise Schroeder was born Dec. Her father was a go-getter accountant who attended law school at night with future U. President Harry Truman. After graduating from Southwest High School, Marylou attended the University of Iowa, but had to return home at age 19 to help the family when her dad died.
The acting career never panned out, but the fun-loving Midwesterner quickly established herself on the A-list social scene. In Marylou married Frank Hosford, the heir to the John Deere fortune, and they had four children. They would eventually divorce, but it was during their separation that Marylou met C. Whitney in at a supper club in Phoenix. She became the fourth wife of the scion of two of the wealthiest families in America, and they had one daughter. The Whitneys had many residences, but the one Marylou took a shine to was Cady Hill, an manor with 21 rooms on acres in Saratoga Springs.
Over time, she adorned it with tennis courts, Victorian gardens that were heated in winter, and even a private chapel. Saratoga in the early s was not the fashionable racing destination it is today. Marylou did just that, and then some.
By the s, her style and effusive personality were synonymous with the toney Saratoga experience. By the s though, C. Whitney started dispersing his racing stock, reportedly because he did not want to burden his wife with the business.
But it turned out that Marylou did indeed want to continue on with racing and breeding. Between and , Marylou Whitney Stables earned nine graded stakes victories and campaigned more than winners. When Birdstone won the Belmont S. Whitney was apologetic after the race, and accepted the winning trophy with humility and grace knowing that many racing fans would rather have seen a history-making sweep of the Triple Crown.
She acted in a similar sporting fashion in the lead-up to the GI Preakness S. When it was suggested that a group of owners might collude to enter a lesser-qualified horse just to block the star filly Rachel Alexandra from running in the race, Whitney let it be known that, if needed, she would withdraw her own long-shot entrant just to clear the way for the filly to make history.
Whitney's generous offer kept the other owners from going through with their plan, so the scratch wasn't necessary. Her imprint in the community extended far beyond the world of racing, which she helped preserve in Saratoga Springs with her second husband Whitney, and included generous support for the Saratoga Hospital, contributions to the founding of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in and donating time and money to the track's backstretch workers.
Her first marriage, to Hosford, ended in divorce. Sonny Whitney, whom she wed in , died in at age Hendrickson would not comment on what her estate is worth now. She married Hendrickson, then a top aide to the governor of Alaska, in , and the two became fixtures in Saratoga. She attended the University of Iowa and began working as an actress, with appearances on radio, movies and television. It was at her insistence that Saratoga Springs become her home following her wedding to Whitney.
He had been planning to sell Cady Hill, one of his nine residences, but she fell in love with the property on first sight. And while she described the city as a "ghost town" in , she was widely recognized for her role in city's revival. Hendrickson said Whitney never discussed her will or her final wishes with him. However, he said he knew what she was passionate about — especially the backstretch workers at the Saratoga Race Course.
With that in mind, Hendrickson, in coordination with Saratoga Hospital, will auction off some of her belongings to build a health clinic on the backstretch.
