Star and starlet were shining up to each other: Maximilian Schell, 32, a highly touted Hamlet in Hamburg, and former Queen Soraya, 31, who adorned his opening night and who reportedly takes tips from Max about her new movie career. What's cosmically significant about that? Nothing, says Max. So why don't those lens-happy "reporters of the international scandal press" leave him alone? Soliloquizing in the West German daily Die Welt, onetime Journalist Schell added: "They squat like monkeys in trees, they hang like grape clusters from airliner stairways. Pitiless as wasps, they live...
Undone at having grounded one of the highest flyers in the international set, German Playboy Gunter Sachs, 29, could not keep from babbling the news to everyone he knew. Iran's former Queen Soraya, 30, had consented to be his. But as news of the betrothal spread, the Iranian earthquakes struck. The ex-queen, feeling she "could make no step in her private life when thousands of people in her homeland had fallen victims to such a horrible catastrophe," postponed...
After dissolving two marriages (to Egypt's Princess Fawzia, Iran's Soraya) when they failed to yield a son, the Shah of Iran married 21-year-old Farah Diba (whose last name means silk) in December 1959.

...unlimber fire hoses to restore order. Farah Diba had succeeded where two before her had failed. The Shah's first wife, Fawzia, sister of Egypt's then King Farouk, bore him a daughter but no son, and he divorced her in 1948. His seven-year marriage to Soraya, handsome daughter of a German-Iranian family, proved barren. His throne is none too secure, and the Shah and his advisers were convinced that a male heir was imperative if the monarchy was to survive. Regretfully, he divorced Soraya in 1958 and last year married Farah Diba, who had caught...
Close in the wake of the birth of a son to her royal ex-husband, Iran's former Queen Soraya, 28 and childless, turned up in Las Vegas in the unlikely company of TV's Wyatt Earping Actor Hugh O'Brian, 33. Heading for the gaming tables, Soraya professed herself a greenhorn at the deceptively simple game of blackjack. Soon relieved of about $40 by his beautiful visitor, Soraya's casino host sportingly volunteered: "She seemed to count pretty good." O'Brian, asked if he had serious matrimonial designs on his date, drawled...
