Rebekah Harkness was not a middle-class divorcée when she met the heir to the Standard Oil. She was a divorcée, but middle-class? She was far from that. Rebekah grew up surrounded by wealth. She wanted for nothing. She would later leave an impact on the world of ballet, and she would do it as she blew through her late husband's money like it was nothing. Rebekah was never on to follow social norms. Rebekah's life was filled with money, luxury, art, and chaos.
