- catalog description "Born August 29, 1901, in Baltimore, Maryland, Anne Strother Kirk was the youngest of three daughters of Henry Child Jr. (1868-1932) and Edith Huntemuller Kirk. Her father ran their family business, Samuel Kirk & Son, a prominent silver manufacturing company. Anne spent her formative years attending exclusive all-girls schools (Bryn Mawr School and Oldsfield School), graduating from Oldsfield in 1920. She also attended the Peabody Conservatory of Music where she earned a teacher's certificate in piano in 1924. Her eldest sister, Edith Buckner "Buckie" (1892-1979), married artist Will Hollingsworth and wrote three books on gardening. Her second sister, Mary (1896-1941), was a childhood confidante of Wallis Warfield. In 1936, six months after Wallis divorced her second husband, Ernest A. Simpson, to marry King Edward VIII (who abdicated the throne and became the Duke of Windsor), Mary became Simpson's third wife. In 1977 Anne co-authored The Other Mrs. Simpson: Postscript to the Love Story of the Century, an account of Mary's life with Simpson based on Mary's letters to her family.".

Over the next thirty years she was married and widowed three times, all to recovering alcoholics. Her final marriage, in 1956, was to pianist, author, and journalist Charles Cooke (1904-1977).
