Ever a champion of unwed mothers, she wilfully became one herself at the age of 45, would say only that her child's father, an Italian author, was "an old and dear friend whom I have loved for years." Her final crusade: restoration of Haile Selassie to Ethiopia's throne after the Italian invasion forced him into exile in 1936.
