#1950 Adita

Teresita Montez debuted in front of her three sisters

Lucita, Adita, Teresita and Maria Montez are the four daughters of a diplomat from the Republic of Santo Domingo. Maria, the first, left her father's house to try her luck in Hollywood. There she found fame and love. She became Mrs. Jean-Pierre Aumont. Which took her to Paris. Lucita came to join the first with her husband, the novelist Jean Roy. Then Adita, then Teresita. Adita is in business and Teresita has just been dismissed from Jacques Heim's office. Cinema, literature, business, fashion, the Montez family is now part of the Parisian elite.

Photo and caption from November 1950 Paris Match number 88.

Please note that Jean Roy was not a novelist but a war journalist, but perhaps to protect him, Paris Match wrote that he was a novelist. And another thing, they skip to mention Consuelo, who was living in the States with husband Kenneth Carter... If you chech closely this tumblr, you won't find any photo of the five Montez/Gracia sisters together, always there's one missing, but who knows if one day such a photo surfaces, that would be a dream!!

✨Very special thanks to @74paris for sharing this wonderful gem!!✨
