Fashion and anything fashion related  Colors- light blue and pink Ladybugs- She considered them lucky. Butterflies Flowers-This makes sense as the majority of her clothes have floral prints. Opera- Hattie saw Madame Butterfly at least sixty times during her lifetime. "FOUR WINDS"- her beloved estate in New Jersey that her husband John Zanft bought her for their Wedding Anniversary. Games- Backgammon, Gin Rummy and slot machines. Hattie also enjoyed playing golf. Theatre- Especially Carnegie Hall, even though in all actuality Hattie was not related in any way to the Carnegie Family. Her real name was Henrietta Kanengeiser-Zanft. She loved the Fox Theatre because her husband John was the Vice President. Traveling, Favorite places-  New York City, Paris, (Hattie had a home in Paris and lived there three months out of the year) Rome, Vienna, Austria (Hattie was born there), Las Vegas, Hollywood, New Jersey. Foreign languages- She was fluent in English, German, French and Hebrew. Hattie had an appreciation and respect for The United States Military as her husband was a WWI Veteran. Animals- She especially adored horses.  I am also guessing she must have loved turtles as she created many turtle pins. Hattie also had two toy poodles. Her black poodle was named Oynx, white poodle was named Opal. Macy's Department Store- That is where she started out working at the age of sixteen, shortly after her family immigrated from Austria. Writing- I learned that Hattie wrote many articles for various publications, although I have yet to locate any for my collection. I have interviews with Hattie but nothing written by the lady herself. She was also forever educating herself and attending various seminars.  Charities- Especially Columbia University Medical School Clinic. She gave them lots of charitable donations due to the fact they helped Lucy walk again.  She also enjoyed helping young people she thought showed promise and talent. Lucille Ball was one of many young people that Hattie helped acheive success.  Most of the other young people she mentored became famous designers and they credit Hattie Carnegie as their main influence and mentor. Hattie also gave money to the Red Cross, the March of Times, and several charities that benefited Jewish people, especially Jewish children. She also encouraged people to buy war bonds to support the troops.
