Carol Blue is an American writer, screenwriter, and documentary filmmaker best known as the second wife of the prominent British-American author and journalist Christopher Hitchens. Born in the United States, Blue met Hitchens in the late 1980s while working in journalism and media circles. They married on May 11, 1991, in a private ceremony at the apartment of Victor Navasky, the editor of The Nation magazine. The couple had one daughter together, Antonia Hitchens, who has followed in her parents' footsteps as a writer and journalist, currently contributing to publications like The New Yorker. Blue and Hitchens lived primarily in Washington, D.C., and New York City, where they collaborated on various intellectual and literary projects. Blue appeared alongside Hitchens in media, including on the Charlie Rose show, discussing topics ranging from politics to literature. Throughout their marriage, Blue supported Hitchens's prolific career, which spanned columns, books, and public debates. She was particularly devoted during his final years, caring for him as he battled esophageal cancer diagnosed in 2010. Hitchens passed away on December 15, 2011, and Blue has since contributed to preserving his legacy, including writing about their life together in essays and possibly co-authoring or editing posthumous works. While Blue maintains a relatively private life post-Hitchens, she has been involved in documentary filmmaking and writing, though specific projects beyond her association with Hitchens are less documented publicly. Her background in media includes contributions to outlets like the Village Voice and LA Weekly, reflecting her roots in alternative journalism.
