-Romina Power (left) and her mother Linda Christian
London, Nov. 1
Romina Power, 15-year-old daughter of film star Linda Christman and the late Tyrone Power, said today she wants to marry a 23-year-old singer.
She named him as Count Stanislaus de Rola and said he is a French pop singer. Her mother said: "I do not approve," but mother and daughter agreed that Romina should wait awhile.
Romina said: "All his friends call him Stash or Prince Stash but he's not really a prince. He proposed before I left Rome recently and I told him he may have to wait until I'm 18."
Found in "Linda" by Linda Christian. Published by Crown, 1962.

Here's more on the Count and Romina.
One more thing. Linda Christian just replaced Tuesday Weld on my list. Here's why:

Wikipedia mentioned one of her children went missing in Louisiana. in 1994.
I do often stop here and look at your finds.
Completely fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know how to react if I had a 15 year old daughter who wanted to get married. Let alone him of all people. But of course I'm just judging a book by its cover. I agree, she's beautiful and on that picture she looks like a (almost) grown woman.
