In sharp contrast, soft-spoken Miss Etta, an accomplished pianist and lover of old lace, bought glowing Matisse interiors, a Manet pastel, and Picasso...

Things hummed more than usual during Ali's high-octane fling at marriage with mercurial Cinemactress Rita Hayworth. Recalls Williams: "The day after she had dined ... at the home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, I realized that Rita was determined to remodel the Château de l'Horizon on the lines of the Windsor establishment. Prince Ali's maids, who for years had worn gay summer prints and went bare-legged except for formal occasions, were measured for crisp black...
