==Births==
Rubirosa married Flor de Oro Trujillo, daughter of Dominican dictator [[Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina]] on [[3 December]] [[1932]]. Trujillo dispatched Rubirosa to his first diplomatic post in [[Berlin]]. He later granted his daughter a divorce when it became obvious that Rubirosa had been unfaithful. Unable to return to the Dominican Republic, Rubirosa supported himself by selling Dominican [[Visa (document)|visa]]s to Jews wanting to flee Europe. Rubirosa soon got back into his former father-in-law's good graces, and continued to receive government posts until Trujillo's assassination.

== Deaths ==
His suave manner and rugged good looks came with an allegedly large male appendage and sexual skills, both subjects of much gossip. [[Truman Capote]] is said to have described his male organ as "an 11-inch [[cafe au lait]] sinker as thick as a man's wrist". To this day, large pepper grinders are commonly referred to as "rubirosas". {{fact}} He was linked romantically to [[Dolores Del Rio]], [[Ava Gardner]], [[Veronica Lake]], [[Kim Novak]], and [[Eva Peron]]. He dallied with his ex-wife Flor during his marriage to [[Doris Duke]], and with [[Zsa Zsa Gabor]] during his marriage to [[Barbara Hutton]]. He was named a co-respondent in at least two divorces, the husbands charging adultery.
