The Somozas weren’t just popular with international arms dealers. His wife, Hope Portocorrero, was something of a jet set fashionista, noted for her elegant wardrobe and named to the World’s 10 Best Dressed Women list in 1968. She was refered to as “Madame Somoza,” (something like “Princess Grace”) in the celebrity press. She and Anastasio separated but did not divorce before the revolution. She re-married late in life and died in Miami in 1991. Her daughter with Anastasio, Carolina, is married to the son of New York real estate developer Henry H. Minskoff.
