Nelly_de_Vogüé--Antoine_de_Saint-Exupery

Countess Hélène Marie Henriette de Vogüé (née von Jaunez; 28 November 1908 – 17 June 2003), known as Nelly de Vogüé, was a French aristocrat, socialite, businesswoman, painter, and writer. She studied art at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris before succeeding her father as president of Haviland France, her family's ceramics company.
She was the long-time mistress of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and was referred to as Madame de B. in his biographies and as The Beautiful E in the memoirs of Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry. After Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's presumed death in 1944, de Vogüé became the executrix of his literary works and, under the nom de plume Pierre Chevrier, authored a biography on him.
