Harriman often cited Winston Churchill as a personal inspiration.
Although the socialite appears to have been remembered best for her whirlwind romances and high-flying social life, Clinton praised Harriman for her work as ambassador to France and for her dedication to public service.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"She represented America with wisdom, grace and dignity, earning the confidence of France's leaders, the respect of its people, and the devotion of her staff."
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, U-S President
Harriman's remains will be buried on Friday next to those of her third husband, former New York governor ambassador W. Averill Harriman, at Arden, the family estate located north of New York City.
