Talk:Oleg Cassini

message: Unfortunately, all the information about Merry Farhney was taken from The New York Times coverage of the Cassini-Fahrney divorce. It is not idle gossip; it is in court documents (which are not sealed, by the way) and was openly published in the New York Times in its reports of the court proceedings. I'm reverting to the previous version.
Whether or not it is public documentation is irrelevant. What she did before or after her marriage to Cassini is not relevant to HIS wikipedia page (other than what affected her marriage to Cassini), therefore in our (her descendants) it IS idle gossip, just as it was gossip then.
If we, her descendants wanted to make her life history public, we would create a Wikipedia page for her ourselves. Yes, we are well aware of her history, but she is a mere footnote in the 40's social scene, and we do not feel there is any need for this sort of exposure.
We respectfully request that you remove the information that does not pertain directly to her marriage to Cassini.
Thank you,

message: There appears to be a discrepancy for both this article and the one on Halston, as to who designed the hats worn by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Maybe both did, but the articles do not make this clear. I can't verify either way.--Metron4 (talk) 15:52, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: What happened to this article

message: The lede reads, "Oleg Cassini (11 April 1913 – 17 March 2006) (born a Count)..."  Isn't "count" a hereditary title, such that Oleg would not be born a count, but rather would be first in line to be count upon the death of his father?
Also, "count" should not be capitalized as here it is not being used as part of a proper noun (e.g., Count Chocula). I'll fix that point, but would appreciate someone more knowledgeable about the titles to weigh in on the "born a count" issue.  I'll leave that be for a while. TJRC (talk) 00:00, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Cassini was a well-known designer and much must have been written about him. The article is weakened by references being drawn mostly from his own books. Other RS are needed. Also, needs tempering of laudatory tone - one person's assessment does not make him most important designer in history. Let's get a grip here!Parkwells (talk) 01:38, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Gene Tierney says they re-married after their divorce, only to divorce a second time in 1952.  But here, it says they reunited but did not remarry.  Which is correct?  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 22:42, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Port Arthur, Texas 

message: The article seems to suggest that Christina may not have been Oleg's child yet there is absolutely no hint of this in either the autobiographies of Gene Tierney or Oleg Cassini. Gene writes on the birth:" ..our daughter Christina was born. I was fascinated by her perfection and alertness....I watched and studied her with joy. I knew at last we had a healthy child.("Self-Portrait p.146.)
Oleg wrote:"Our second daughter,Christina was born in New York on November 18,1948.She was a perfect child physically, and would only suffer the handicap of having a father who was too busy to be much of a father."(In My Own Fashion p.208)
Not the comments of parents who thought their child was not legitimate. The reference about possible illegitimacy sticks out and should be either counterbalanced or eliminated.  Fuddleduddle (talk) 04:49, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
