Florentine prince and actress in fatal Paris finale
In Italy five years ago a Florentine lady befriended a young actress who captured a prince’s attention in Paris, but amid pressures from the prince’s family the pair drifted apart. Recently she rekindled contact, a dinner led to a tragic Bois de Boulogne carriage scene as she shot herself and handed him a sealed letter before collapsing. The note vowed she could not live without him. The episode follows other items including a preacher and obituary notices.
