As a Countess, she was active in Beverly Hills and Hollywood society, a patron of the arts, and loved music. Her charitable endeavors were widely known primarily for children’s charities. She was a member of Alliance Françoise and other organizations. Nina Borget passed away after a long illness on August 14, 1997; she was 87 years old.
