In this next installment of Dominick Dunne’s reporting on Margeret Rockefeller Strong, we investigate her first husband, George de Cuevas. George was a real fan of the ballet, which his wife lovingly supported through his lifetime, and even a little after his death. 

George did enjoy a theatrical and artistic lifestyle, including delicate duels as well as hosting the Party of the Century in 1953 in Biarritz. He also enjoyed bringing a host of other artistic men around his wife, including Raymundo de Larrain and Jan de Vroom, whose stories are set up in this episode, coming back in full swing in next week’s conclusion.
