After attending Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard, and serving in World War I, Walter founded the family printing company in Boston. Eliza, called Lida, was a classical singer. Guthrie attended the New England Conservatory of Music, and in 1943 she joined the Red Cross where she taught piano and painting to orphans in Naples, Italy. In Naples she met Louis Livingston Lorillard (1919–1986), a United States Army lieutenant. While serving in Naples, Guthrie and Lorillard shared an interest in listening to jazz, which they had experienced in New York City. Newport Jazz FestivalIn 1953, Guthrie and Lorillard visited the Storyville nightclub in Boston with her brother, Thomas T. Guthrie, and his friend, Professor Borne from Boston University. They met George Wein, who worked at the nightclub, and they discussed the possibility of bringing an outdoor jazz concert to Newport, Rhode Island, where they lived. With the guidance of John Hammond and George Avakian, two record producers and executives at Columbia Records, they came up with a list of performers. With a $20,000 grant from the Lorillards, the first Newport Jazz Festival took place in July 1954, attracting 11,000 fans. The Lorillards supported the festival until 1961.[1][2] The Lorillards said that the festival was founded as a nonprofit organization.{{cn|date=August 2018}} BiopicThe movie High Society (1956), with a storyline by family friend Cleveland Amory, documented the Lorillards' love story and marriage. Grace Kelly was cast for her resemblance to Elaine Lorillard. The move was filmed in Newport with scenes from the Lorillards' life, from a convertible passing their house, "Quatrel", on Bellevue Avenue, to their daughter sitting at their piano with Louis Armstrong. Personal lifeIn 1946, Elaine married Louis Livingston Lorillard (1919–1986). Louis was a descendant of Pierre Lorillard, who founded the P. Lorillard Company in 1760.[3] Before their divorce, they had two children:
