John C Wilson

[edit]

The article mentions John C Wilson (her husband) as a former lover of Cole Porter when it seems he was a former lover of Noel Coward. I don't normally keep up with couplings in this much detail, but found this while following some research threads. I would suggest correcting Cole Porter to Noel Coward.

Relationship with Cocteau

[edit]

It reads that she had a platonic affair with Jean Cocteau, but in the french article about Jean Cocteau and the french and german articles about her it says that she was pregnant and that she had an abortion (french Cocteau) or that Cocteau spread the rumour that she was pregnant (french Natalia Paley). Obviously he brought her to opium and that she may had a miscarriage because of that (french Cocteau). But I am pretty sure that I read years ago in a biography of Jean Cocteau that he was traumatized by an abortion. But I have no idea (and I cannot look up in the book as I don't have it anymore) if it was her who was connected with this abortion, but it looks like as she is the only women who is regularly named in connection with female relationships Cocteau had. Any reliable sources? --VINCENZO1492 10:15, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
