Porfirio
Rubirosa was a notorious
Dominican diplomat and playboy. He raced sports
cars, played polo, was married - very profitably - to a succession of wealthy socialites; he intrigued, and perhaps killed, on behalf of his patron, the dictator
Raphael
Trujillo.
He had many lovers, and was known
throughout cafe society for his fine manners, rugged good looks, and
priapic sexual endowment. He was the greatest mythic playboy of
his age, the twentieth century's Don Juan or Casanova.
Rubirosa died in Paris in 1965, aged
fifty-three, after crashing his car into a tree in the Bois de
Boulogne.
"...Love, in its real sense, he never knew it... but ... to adopt before the world the position of a fortunate gallant and the talent to impress ingenuous heiresses, and useless wealthy and lazy parasites, he understood it by instinct" - Robt. D. Crassweller
