Pamela Churchill Harriman

 

I only read non-fiction. The most entertaining book I read last year was Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman's Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue.

The British-born socialite, mixed seduction and power to become the most glamorous diplomat the United States has ever known.

...her second husband, Leland Hayward,  dubbed her, with great pride, “the courtesan of the century.”

If you want to know more this is a link to the book.
