Good from Fun. Outside the studio Malgesto lives a quiet life with his attractive wife (Nightclub Singer Flor Silvestre), two small children and their pet parrots, baby lamb and two horses. He gets 1,000 fan letters a week, and is quick to put in a good-and powerful-word for good causes. When he introduced a priest who was struggling to raise a tiny church, the building fund was oversubscribed by the next day's mail.

Morgan-by Carlos Baca-Flor, disdainful of Salvador Dali's recent The Crucifixion. After seeing the best of the Met's European works, Molotov asked to see some American paintings...
Loving. He married Flor de Oro (Flower of Gold), the wildcat daughter of Dominican Dictator Trujillo, and stayed married to her for five years. The Dictator, apparently impressed by this feat, made him a diplomat. Once established on the Continent, Rubi found ways of maintaining himself in expensive luxury. He had setbacks. The Germans threw him into a detention camp during World War II. Back in Paris in 1944 he was wounded in a mysterious street shooting. But Rubi was undismayed. He married French Actress Danielle Darrieux (a collector's item), and capped this by marrying Doris ("Richest Girl...
