Paul Clark Newell Jr.

Paul Clark Newell Jr., cousin of Huguette Clark and grand nephew of Senator William Andrews Clark (Huguette's father), Newell is one of the few persons admitted into regular communication with with the reclusive Huguette in the last 20 years of her life. As the informal historian of the Clark family Newell enjoys acquaintance with many of the living descendants of Senator Clark and his siblings, and has known others no longer living, including a few who knew Huguette as a child and as a young woman. Writing has been incidental to Newell in various enterprises subsequent to his experience as editor of the college newspaper at his alma mater, Occidental College.
