In season two of hit show A war of fortune: how New York's richest dynasties were practically shattered by a fierce competition between old and new, as HBO's The Gilded Age plans to lay bare the socialite families' petty feuds and overspending

In 1880s New York, season two of HBO's hit period drama, The Gilded Age, depicts a tug-of-war between old and new money. As the latter is refusing to attend the illustrious Academy of Music, the competition between Caroline Astor and Bertha Russell (a fictionalized version of Alva Vanderbilt) hits fever pitch. Vanderbilt leads the construction of a new opera house that surpasses the old Academy in importance and grandeur based on true events. The Metropolitan Opera opened in 1883 and is still a fixture of New York City today.

At the Tony Awards, the Gilded Age actress was slammed for naming Ron DeSantis a "grand wizard."

Benton, a Broadway actor and actress on HBO's The Gilded Age, made the remark when presenting a special award to a Florida teacher who has inspired his students by acting. The term has long been associated with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a 'grand wizard' who is the highest-ranking leader of the white supremacist body.
