In this week’s conclusion of Margaret Rockefeller Strong de Cuevas de Larrain’s story, we examine her life from the early 1960s on, including more ballet, a much younger husband, and ultimately, the battle over her estate.
Also included, the defection of Rudolf Nureyev from the Soviet Union, the murder of Jan de Vroom, and so many recurring characters within our universe of Nick.
