Marilyn Moss Rockefeller discusses her new book, Mountain Girl: From Barefoot to Boardroom. In this enthralling memoir, Rockefeller details her colorful journey from her humble beginnings on an Appalachian farm to the helm of a multimillion-dollar company. Although she faced immense challenges and instability during her youth, Rockefeller’s tenacity, determination, and innate charm led her to a life filled with extraordinary experiences and remarkable people.
These include:
· Hosting Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground at her home during one of his art shows
· Participating in a private cooking lesson at Julia Child’s home
· Traveling with Carroll Shelby and the Ford Racing Team
· Helping celebrated designer Bill Moss build “paper” dome houses in North Haven
· Transforming Moss Inc, a struggling small business, into a multi-million-dollar company
· Crashing a Rockefeller’s plane (which in turn, sparked a romance that led to marriage!)
