Helmsley, the hotel operator and real estate developer whose conviction on federal tax evasion charges in 1989 became an emblem of the excesses of the 1980s, died Monday, Aug. 20, 2007 at her summer house in Greenwich, Conn., according to Howard J. Rubenstein, her longtime spokesman. She was 87. (Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times)
