Princess Nina Mdivani Conan Doyle Harwood died on Mar. 3 in London.
Nina
was *The* Woman at the cocktail party before the BSI annual dinner in 1975,
and contributed an Introduction to the 1975 reprint of TALES OF TERROR AND
MYSTERY (D329b), but she was not (as at least one obituary suggests) the
last of the royal Georgian clan of Mdivanis. They were Georgian, but
they
weren't royal; Alice-Leone Moats, in THE MILLION DOLLAR STUDS (New York:
Delacorte Press, 1977), gives considerable attention to Nina's brothers,
all of whom married rich Americans, and little to Nina, who married Denis
Conan Doyle and then Anthony Harwood. Nina (as Baskervilles Investments
Limited) for a time controlled the Conan Doyle literary estate.
Erratum (Mar 87 #3): Princess Nina Mdivani Conan Doyle Harwood died on Feb.
18 in London, I am informed by a reliable reader.
