...Vegas in 1961. The same year she and Williams were married. They led freewheeling lives for the last few of the 14 years they were married. Gossip often linked her with some of Hollywood's leading actors. After her separation from Williams in 1970, one frequent companion of Claudine's was Los Angeles Tennis Executive Steve Peyton. "Claudine was living with the children at Malibu at the time," a friend recalls. "When she'd go out with Steve sometimes, she'd call Andy to ask him to babysit." Williams, for his part, was squiring a series...
...proved to have little more political acumen than a cabaret dancer-which is what she was in 1956, when she had a chance encounter in Panama with Juan Perón, then freshly ousted by a coup after nine turbulent years as Argentina's President. She became his companion in luxurious exile in Madrid, married him in 1961 (she was 30, he was 66) and returned to Argentina with him in 1973.

But even before the ceremony, some royal doubts were heard about Tony's eclectic circle of friends-a lissome Chinese model who had once been his closest companion, other photographers, assorted designers and decorators and fashionable young marrieds who spent more time apart than together. Nevertheless, the wedding in Westminster Abbey was a dazzling state occasion. Apparently genuinely in love, the couple sailed off in the royal yacht Britannia to a honeymoon in the West Indies, where a rich...
...where he, Margaret and some of his pals gathered on weekends. But the princess soon tired of what she called Snowdon's "leather jacket" cronies, who bridled at calling her "Your Royal Highness." When Margaret stopped going to Sussex, Tony took fashion models along on assignments. Another reported companion, from the nearby estate of the Marquess of Reading, was the Marquess's daughter, Lady Jacqueline Rufus Isaacs. Lady Jackie, pouty-lipped, leggy and then 24, was said to have seen Tony both in the country and in London, but she steadfastly denied any romance...
