Olympia is one of my favorite style icons. She was in W magazine alot in the late 1970's, and on the cover 1 or 2'x with her mother in law: Marie Helene de Rothschild. However, in the early 1980's she dissappeared from the magazines. I often wondered what had happened. About 10 years ago, Paris March had an article about David and Olympia. I do not understand french but you could tell by the photo that showed them with their 4 children that something was wrong with one of the girls. She looked like the oldest (Lanvania?) but both parents were walking holding her hands and she had a bonnet/helmet on her head. A few years ago Vanity Fair had an article about the Rothschild family and said that Olympia had been part of hte Paris Social scene in the 1970's, but had withdrawn from public life after the illness of her daughter. I am guessing it's the same one.
You can find a few more photos of Olympia on WWW.Newscom.com. Search David Rothschild.
In addition, in some of the old photos of Princess Caroline's engagement party at Maxim's in 1978 to Phillipe Junot, she is in the background because she and her husband David were seated at the same table with Phillipe and Caroline. I think David at that time was a banking associate of Phillipes.
