Ivana Trump

It is too easy to file Ivana Trump under a famous surname, and I think that misses the better story. A girl from Zlín who skied competitively, studied at Charles University, and crossed the Cold War divide to reinvent herself in North America was operating on pure nerve. What I find compelling is her refusal to disappear after the very public divorce — she pivoted into business and books and kept trading under her own first name, which says everything. She could be flamboyant to the point of self-parody, but underneath the glamour sat a survivor's discipline. Her passing in 2022 closed a genuinely transatlantic twentieth-century life.
