“Besides the local residents, Meraud frequently entertained visitors from other parts of the world. There was an extremely eccentric Spanish marquise, a royalist who had fled Franco and was plotting the return of the monarchy to Spain. She was an aggressive lesbian who seemed to expect Meraud to provide her with a female companion. Meraud balked at this, complaining that she had no intention of procuring for any of her guests. One day the marquise showed me the jacket of a book she had written about the Spanish War under a male pseudonym, featuring a photo of the marquise cross-dressed as a man, with a fake mustache to enhance the illusion.” LesbianFrancoCrossdressingMeraud GuevaraSpanish War Book:Nice Guys Don't Work in Hollywood: The Adventures of an Aesthete in the Movie Business Source: Nice Guys Don't Work in Hollywood: The Adventures of an Aesthete in the Movie Business
