Olivia, Matt and other stars in Gstaad
Translation from Dutch:
Countless stars had a fantastic time in the Swiss winter sports paradise of Gstaad. In the romantic Alpine landscape, Victoria Principal, Olivia Newton-John, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor indulged in love, while Roger Moore unwinded from the strenuous filming of his latest James Bond adventure.
The Swiss resort of Gstaad Hotel hosted, as it does every year, a host of celebrities who spent their snowy holidays there.
In the romantic jet-set resort, the many stars indulged in love without inhibitions.
Victoria Principal and her boyfriend, plastic surgeon Dr. Harry Glassman, concluded their romantic European tour there, which you previously read about in Weekend. “It was the most beautiful trip of my life,” Victoria confided to her good friend Olivia Newton-John, who spent her honeymoon in Gstaad with her new husband, Matt Lattanzi. Now that Victoria and Harry Glassman have also officially become a couple, the two best friends exchanged many secrets.
“It’s a bit strange to realize that I’m now a married woman…” said Olivia. “A few years ago, I wouldn’t have dared to dream of it.”
It was with some sadness that Victoria had to say goodbye to her many friends and acquaintances in Switzerland after just a few days “Duty calls again,” she revealed with a sour expression. “A party has come to an end. But what a wonderful time Harry and I had here in Europe. We’d been planning for so long to see the Mona Lisa together and go skiing in Switzerland as a couple. Normally, we spend our winter sports vacation in Aspen, the American ski paradise in the Rocky Mountains. But that’s nothing compared to Gstaad. A world of difference…”
Also in Gstaad was Elizabeth Taylor with her husband-to-be, Dennis Stein. The 52-year-old actress looked young and radiant.
“It’s because of love,” she said with a smile. “There’s no better medicine in the whole world. And believe me, I’ve tried almost everything. For example, since I met Dennis, I no longer need sleeping pills to fall asleep. I’ve thrown them all away.”
Dewi Sukarno, the widow of the Indonesian president, had a long conversation with billionaire Günter Sachs at a party. Sachs’s 26-year-old son, Ralf, announced that he will soon be saying “I do” to his girlfriend of many years, the charming French model Maryam Desgranges.
Ursula Andress kept her son Dimitri in her sights throughout the snow. “Dimitri’s got a bit of a flu,” said the 42-year-old film star. “He really needs to go to bed.” But try keeping a child indoors when there’s enough snow outside for a hundred thousand snowballs…’ Incidentally, Ursula denied the rumours that she will soon be making a film with John Travolta.
John, also present in Gstaad, spoke for a long time with his friend Olivia Newton-John. Perhaps she will finally shine by his side after a long time apart? “It’s possible,” Travolta said with a mysterious smile on his lips.
Audrey Hepburn didn’t show up at the numerous parties during her snow vacation. Together with her boyfriend, the Dutch businessman Rob Wolders, Audrey spent most of her time in their rented chalet. Audrey and her boyfriend have been inseparable for several years. However, due to their mutual busy work schedules, they have little time to spend together for long periods. That’s why they preferred each other’s company to the vibrant nightlife in Gstaad…
Roger Moore was in Switzerland resting from the exhausting filming of his latest film adventure as secret agent James Bond. The 58-year-old star was accompanied by his wife Luisa.
“And I really needed a break”, Roger said. “I’m definitely noticing I’m getting older. Those film shoots are starting to get to me.”
Incidentally, it’s rumored that none other than Princess Caroline of Monaco is planning to settle in Gstaad. The young mother was recently spotted in the town with her husband, Stefano Casiraghi, and a real estate agent.
“The princess is very fond of Gstaad,” an acquaintance confirmed. “But she’s planning to escape the city, especially in the winter. With the annual arrival of celebrities, Gstaad is a constant coming and going of press representatives. And if there’s one thing Caroline hates…”
