In the 70's, I rubbed elbows with the shah's family.
Sort of: I bagged their groceries on a regular basis. And one of the checkers (my mom's best friend) sort-of dated their chief cook. I can say that their staff was first rate. They lived a fabulously wealthy lifestyle. A 3-year old was said (by their cook) to have such finely honed gourmet tastes that they would turn up their nose at any but the most extravagant foods.
Oh, and the front of their estate was decorated with tacky, x-rated statuary.
Dunno what all that means. I just thought I would share.
