Hide Profile

Countess Mona Strader Bismarck, born Mona Travis Strader in Louisville, married in 1917 the first of five husbands. After a divorce from her second husband she became part of the "cafe society" in New York and her marriage to Wall Street financier Harrison Williams in 1926 gave her further entree to a glamorous lifestyle. After his death in 1953 she married Count Edward Bismarck, grandson of Germany's Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. In her later years she lived quietly in Paris and at her villa on the Isle of Capri.
