...married (his bride Mayte was one of his dancers) and has an infant child, and his album reflects his new domesticity. ("So what does your wife call you?" the Artist is asked. "She calls me many things," he replies.) Emancipation champions monogamy--especially on the swaying jam Friend, Lover, Mother/Wife.

She then married the aged Averell Harriman--Wall Street heir, Roosevelt New Dealer, diplomat and former Governor of New York. He had been her munificent lover in Britain during World War II. Other beaux of that exciting time and place included John Hay Whitney, Edward R. Murrow and his boss, CBS founder William Paley, who later crowned the red-haired beauty the "great courtesan of the century...
