Janet Bronwen ASTOR (6 June 1930 – 28 December 2017), Viscountess Astor, born ALUN PUGH, was an English model. She was muse to the couturier Pierre BALMAIN, who called her one of the most beautiful women he had ever met along with Greta GARBO, Vivien LEIGH and Marlene DIETRICH. Born in London, Janet (generally known by her middle name, "Bronwen") was the daughter of Sir John ALUN PUGH, a Welsh county court judge, and Kathleen (born GOODYEAR) PUGH. Before her marriage, Bronwen had a career as "the most celebrated model of her generation" and, later, as a BBC television presenter. On 14 October 1960, she married William ASTOR, 3rd Viscount Astor (1907—1966) as his third wife. Viscount Astor, known to his family and friends as Bill ASTOR, was the eldest son of Waldorf ASTOR, 2nd Viscount Astor, and his wife, Nancy, Viscountess Astor. Upon her marriage, Bronwen became the mistress of Cliveden, the mansion which her mother-in-law had made famous with her political salons. Bill died from a heart attack in 1966, leaving Bronwen with two young daughters. Bronwen left Cliveden with her daughters, to live in Tuesley Manor, Godalming, Surrey. She opened her new home to the homeless and in 1983 trained as a psychotherapist. Bronwen became a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, serving as an extraordinary minister at Holy Apostles Catholic Church, Pimlico. She died on 28 December 2017.
