Millicent Hearst Boudjakdji, president of the William Randolph Hearst Foundation and a director of the Hearst Corporation, died on Wednesday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 63.

The cause was cancer, said Paul Luthringer, a spokesman for the Hearst Corporation.

A granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst, Mrs. Boudjakdji (pronounced Bood-JACK-gee) was named president of the foundation, an independent private philanthropy, in January, 2001. She also established her own charitable foundation, the Boudjakdji Foundation, which focused on education and the arts.

Mrs. Boudjakdji had served on the Hearst Corporation's board since 1986.

Millicent Hearst Boudjakdji, the daughter of David Whitmire Hearst and Hope Chandler Hearst, was born on March 24, 1939, in Los Angeles and graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1961.

She is survived by her husband, Raouf Boudjakdji; four children; three grandchildren; her mother; and a brother.
