...merely donated a few pounds and did not agree with Lord Bertie's anti-American jeremiads. In fact, deadpanned the actor, he gives most of his loose pence to the Invalid Tricycle Foundation of Wales (for crippled miners). Wife Liz had a different challenge. For a Lido opening in Paris, the invitations specified evening pajamas, and half the haut monde came in lace or sequined trousers. Not Liz. "I.wear slacks to work," she sniffed, threw on her gold lame sari by Balenciaga, and discovered that in spite of being so old-gown, she rated Table Numero Un between...

John Chamberlain, a sculptor of automobile parts, slept on the Lido beach, declared the marble-patterned Piazza San Marco to be the "world's greatest hopscotch arena" and hopscotched around it like a great shambling bear.

...within eight years had parlayed it into a thriving rent-a-car business that grew to a fleet of 33 cars, mostly Fords. He returned to Italy at 31 to select his bride, found her in his home town of Benevento and honeymooned at Venice's sultry Lido Beach. Back in the U.S., they called their only son Lido out of sentiment for that spot. Iacocca's father branched into real estate around Allentown, Pa., so increased his holdings that he became a pre-Depression millionaire...
