"Dede"
Montandon Celebrates Newest Memoir

Montandon says Al Wilsey told her she didn't know how to be a rich man's wife. Dede, he said, did. "Do you know what Dede said to me," Montandon recalls decorator Val Arnold telling her, "She was sitting beside me on [your] lawn during the concert. With both hands spread out, she pointed at the beautiful estate, the gardens, the house, and whispered, 'this will be all mine someday.'"
