I wondered whether this Rockefeller being a pornographer thing might be part of some Republican civil war. Was the Heritage Foundation beavering away then? Anyway I found this bit of trivia on wikipedia............
On 14 February 1948, he married Jievute Paulekiute, an actress and model who had worked professionally under the names "Eva Paul" and "Barbara Sears," and popularly known as "Bobo."[1] She was the former wife of Boston Brahmin figure Richard Sears, Jr.[citation needed] The wedding took place in Florida, and at the reception, a choir sang Negro spirituals. [2] Seven months later, Jievute gave birth to Rockefeller's only child, Winthrop Paul.
The couple separated in 1950 and divorced in 1954. The dissolution of the marriage was acrimonious, with suggestions that Rockefeller owned an extensive collection of pornography. [3] Jievute claimed that the $1 million trust fund set up for Winthrop was unworthy of a Rockefeller heir. She eventually received a $5.5 million settlement composed of $2 million in cash and a $3.5 million trust fund for herself and Winthrop. [4] She was later engaged to Charles W. Mapes, Jr., but never married him. [5]
On 11 June 1956, he married Seattle-born socialite Jeanette Edris; Rockefeller was her fourth husband. [6] She left her first husband, Nate Barragar, less than three months after they were married. [7] The couple had no children, and divorced in 1971. [8]
