Edith Vonnegut
Edith "Edie" Vonnegut (born 1949 in Schenectady, New York) is an American painter.[1]

Vonnegut is the daughter of novelist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and his first wife, Jane Marie (Cox),[2] and the sister of Mark Vonnegut and Nanette Vonnegut. She was named for her paternal grandmother, Edith Lieber Vonnegut.[citation needed]
She was once married to television personality Geraldo Rivera and has published under the names Edith Vonnegut, Edith Vonnegut Rivera, and Edith Vonnegut Squibb.[citation needed]
