Lady Cavendish

The Applegreen Cat is a murder mystery by Frances Crane. In it, she refers to a Lady Cavendish, who was Fred Astaire's sister. Her given name was Adele, and like her brother she had started as a dancer and vaudeville performer. In 1932, she married Lord Charles Arthur Francis Cavendish, who was the son of the 9th Duke of Devonshire. They had three children, who lived only a few hours.
