Igor Stravinsky enjoyed an unusually open affair with his mistress, Vera Sudeikina (also married at the time), while wedded to his cousin, Katerina Nossenko, and their four children. This shuttle diplomacy between two homes lasted for 18 years until his wife’s death from tuberculosis in 1939. This ordinary looking bespectacled man of 5 foot 4, born with what can only be described as a God-given configuration to be an extraordinary ‘nez’ for a first class perfume maker, also found his way into the boudoir of fashion designer Coco Chanel!
