Dorothy Fellowes-Gordon

[2] Once at a party Maxwell and Fellowes-Gordon organised together to raise money, the main guest was Princess Helena Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, granddaughter of Queen Victoria, escorted by Napier Sturt, 3rd Baron Alington; they decided the guest list with the help of Noël Coward and among who attended there were: Lady Diana Cooper, Viola Tree, Oliver Messel, Bea Lillie, Gertrude Lawrence and Ivor Novello.

[2] A trivial info is that many of the recipes in Elsa Maxwell's "How to Do It" (1957) are by Fellowes-Gordon, like Bulgarian Cream, Curry, Omelet a la Creme, Onion Tart and so on.

Her other lovers included Napier Sturt, 3rd Baron Alington (who was also bisexual), Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart, 17th Duke of Alba (for eight years) and Mercedes de Acosta.

Elsa Maxwell described Fellowes-Gordon as "A tall, stunning girl, the best and most helpful friend I have ever known ... Dickie ... had the beauty and sharp wit that were to make her one of Europe's femmes fatale, a role she attained without half trying.

"[2] Like many others of the LGBT community of the 1920s, Fellowes-Gordon attended meetings of followers of George Gurdjieff in 1924–1925 at the home of Muriel Draper.

Their neighbours were former King of Britain Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, (Duke and Duchess of Windsor), living at the Château de la Croë.

A millstone had been converted into a table for the garden, even if the setting wasn't comfortable at all (a photograph shows Jack L. Warner, Tyrone Power and Linda Christian, Virginia Zanuck and Darryl Zanuck, Elsa, the Duke of Windsor, Clark Gable, socialite Dolly O'Brien, and several others with knees not fitting under the table.

[13] In her old age, Fellowes-Gordon met the biographer Hugo Vickers to give an interview from which Sam Staggs extensively quoted for his biography of Maxwell.
