You're never too old to get a stalker, apparently, though I suppose being rich doesn't hurt.

Debo (the Duchess of Devonshire's Mitford family nickname) comes from a family which, truth be known, is a bit of a hoot. One sister married Sir Oswald Moseby, the head of the British Fascist party. Another sister married a Communist. A third sister was nutsy coocoo for Adolph Hitler (and supposedly suggested the swastika to him as the symbol for the Nazi Party, because she was conceived in the town of Swastika Ontario). Debo once had tea with Hitler. Years later she was asked whether, if she had the choice, she would rather have tea with Hitler or with Elvis Presley. Her answer was "Elvis of course."
