Hattie Carnegie
Austrian born Henrietta Kanengeiser became a true American original through pure grace, grit and her uncanny ability to bring Paris mystique to real American women. Hattie was given to her when she worked in Macy's millinery in her teens. She choose Carnegie for herself, obviously she wanted to present a name that related to power and wealth.
