Talk:Mona von Bismarck

Laura and Harrison Williams edit

In 1926, Mona opened a New York dress shop with her friend Laura Merriam Curtis... At the time, Laura was previously engaged to Harrison Williams, said to be the richest man in America...

Do you mean she was currently engaged to Harrison, or that she had previously been engaged to him? Valetude (talk) 12:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Title? edit

If her husband had the title 'Graf (Count) von Bismarck-Schönhausen', then she would have had the equivalent title, the German for 'countess'. Did she prefer not to use this? Valetude (talk) 12:14, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Under section "Marriages" in reference to statement "During the marriage, Mona bore a son, Robert Henry, whom she left in the custody of Schlesinger in exchange for half a million dollars when they divorced in 1920. " I am curating a show on Mona and have read her complete divorce settlement from Schlessinger. It does NOT say she left her son in the custody of Schlessinger in exchange for half a million dollars BUT clearly states the child (a son) is to be left in care of his father because of his sex. The divorce settlement does not specify the $$ amount of Mona's alimony. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Linus wibble (talkcontribs) 19:39, 6 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
