...Alam, 45, is a British-educated aristocrat to his manicured fingernails. He is a millionaire by inheritance, married into one of Iran's greatest landowning families, and lives like a prince (which he is) in a palace on the slopes overlooking Teheran.

Winding up his six-week study of the ladies, he found Lee in her London home, popped her into a Castillo evening gown and clicked away. "She has an extremely interesting and beautiful face," he said afterward. But presumably not all that fascinating to the editors of McCall's, who had eleven months ago run a fashion piece on her. With an abridged version of the gallery in the coming issue, they chopped...
