...second question-whether Irving ever met with Hughes-brought a compelling refutation last week in the form of a willowy Danish aristocrat named Nina van Pallandt, 38, a well-known folk singer in Europe. Now on her own, she used to appear on television and in supper clubs with her husband, Baron Frederik van Pallandt, from whom she has been separated since 1969. For years she has had an Ibiza villa. "Whenever Nina's name was mentioned," a friend of the Irvings says, "Edith would climb the wall...
Last week Edith had more cause to be furious. Nina, who was vacationing in Nassau-ironically close to Hughes' reclusive penthouse on Paradise Island-confirmed that she had accompanied Irving on a five-day trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, last February. In his exhaustive affidavit explaining how he had obtained the autobiography, Irving claimed to have held two secret meetings with Hughes during that Mexican trip.

...there are many more determined female deserters. Nina, for example, was a 36 year-old Massachusetts wife with a maid, two cars, a country-club membership and a corporate-executive husband who drank too many martinis and made too many passes at other men's wives. Committing what Gold fader calls "social suicide," she fled to the West Coast and took on the identity of a friend. There she got a job in advertising and acquired a new Social Security number using her friend's name. Despite her elaborate precautions, she was located through her real birth date...
