The couple had two children but divorced a few years later. In 1947, Babe remarried to CBS founder William "Bill" S. Paley. The couple led a lavish life - Babe spent fortunes on her outfits, regularly buying haute couture ensembles from the major international fashion houses, and earned her place on the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame in 1958. Before their famous falling out, long time friend Truman Capote once quoted "Babe Paley had only one fault. She was perfect. Otherwise, she was perfect." Babe Paley died of lung cancer at the age of 63 on July 6, 1978 and is buried in a church cemetery in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. When her husband died in 1990, he was buried next to her.
