...Come postmidnight, dusk or 4 a.m., and there is Daddy-O, taking large gulps of refreshing nightclub air somewhere on the Left Bank," wrote the London Evening Standard's Paris correspondent. Among his recent companions: Actress Elsa Martinelli and her photographer husband, Henri Dubonnet of the apéritif family, the Maharani of Baroda. And Jackie-O?
