Alfonso de Portago’s wife, an American showgirl named Carroll McDaniel eventually tired of his public affairs, most notably with model Dorian Leigh, and decamped to an apartment at 1030 Fifth Avenue with their two children. Portago then took up with B-list actress Linda Christian, the ex-wife of actor Tyrone Power. She appeared in the last of Johnny Weissmuller’s Tarzan movies and a 1954 television adaptation of the Ian Fleming novel Casino Royale, which makes her the original Bond girl. She told friends she would marry Portago as soon as he got divorced, but as a Catholic he would never divorce.
