By Louise Boyle PUBLISHED: 10:41 EST, 28 February 2013 | UPDATED: 14:55 EST, 28 February 2013 Convicted fraudster and Astor heir Anthony Marshall stunned distinguished guests at a lavish party for proposed cruise ship Titanic II on Tuesday after he turned up wearing an heirloom recovered from a relative's body on the doomed voyage and bragged about selling it for $1million. Marshall, 88, has been outcast by New York society since he was convicted of conning his philanthropist mother Brooke Astor out of $60 million in 2009. He and wife Charlene have kept to a frugal life of solitude ever since and are rarely seen in public.
