Drue Heinz, Cultural Philanthropist And Publisher Of The Paris Review, Dead At 103

"Mrs. Heinz, the British-born widow of Henry J. 'Jack' Heinz II, was a quiet but influential force in the literary and cultural life of the United States and Britain for decades. She endowed literary awards in both countries, supported quarterly journals and a publishing house, and bankrolled a major expansion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. She and her husband devoted much of their philanthropy to Pittsburgh, the home base of the Heinz family's enterprises, and were instrumental in the development of the city's downtown cultural district in the 1970s."
