Rudy Giuliani

Rudolph W. Giuliani is considered by history to be one of the most successful mayors of New York City, a job many political pundits consider the hardest job in the U. S. He certainly was the greatest mayor in the history of the Big Apple since the great Fiorello LaGuardia. However, he proved an utter failure as a Presidential candidate in the 2008 Republican primaries. Giuliani made his reputation during the Ronald Reagan administration as the U. S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Giuliani became the most famous mob-buster since Thomas E. Dewey, the former governor of New York State and two-time Republican nominee for President of the U. S.

Married longtime girlfriend Judith Nathan on the lawn of his former residence, Gracie Mansion, by mayor Michael Bloomberg. The 400 guests included Yogi Berra, Henry Kissinger, Beverly Sills, Vera Wang, Donald Trump, former New York governor Hugh Carey, and Barbara Walters. Giuliani's son Andrew was the best man; Nathan's daughter Whitney was the maid of honor. (24 May 2003).

Awarded the title Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his outstanding help and support to the bereaved British families in New York by Queen Elizabeth II. [October 2001]

Dressed as Marilyn Monroe and performed "Happy birthday, Mr. President" at the Inner Circle dinner, where New York City journalists satirize city, state and national politics, then was joined by Julie Andrews, also in drag, on stage. (8 March 1997)

Father, with Donna Hanover, of daughter, Caroline Rose Giuliani (aka Caroline Rose Giuliani), born in 1989, and son, Andrew Giuliani (aka Andrew Harold Giuliani), born on January 30, 1986.

During his term as mayor, regularly appeared on Saturday Night Live (1975), frequently to comment on current events and to good-naturedly mock his own performance.

(1944 and 1948). Giuliani's reputation as a master administrator was solidified by his staunch handling of the City after the 9/11 terrorist strikes, which could have plunged the Greater Metropolitan New York City area into chaos with devastating national effects. In contrast to the handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans by local, state and federal officials, Giuliani guided the city and -- in tandem with President George W. Bush -- the nation, through the difficult weeks that followed the collapse of the World Trade Center.
