The Legend Behind the Name
The primary inspiration for Ruby Rosa is the life and times of Porfirio Rubirosa—the Dominican diplomat, race car driver, polo player, and international playboy who epitomized mid-century glamour and intrigue.
A man of legendary charm and sophistication, his high-profile romances, espionage activities, and extravagant lifestyle provided a rich tapestry of stories that have inspired novelists and captivated high society for decades.
