Jacqueline de Ribes

Could anyone tell me something about her ? I saw a couple of pictures of her and thought she looked intersting but can't find anything about her.

Well all I can tell you is that she was born in Paris in 1931 as Jacqueline de Beumont until she married a wealthy banker Vicomte Edouard de Ribes which then made her Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes. She was a French socialite and was always on the best dressed list.

Is this not the lady who was a spy for the Allies during WWII? Did she not write a book called 'The Spy Wore Red'? Or is it someone else I am thinking of?

You're thinking of Aline, Countess of Romanones.

I am very embarrassed! You are quite correct!
