Excerpts from https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_von_Rosenberg,_Baron_de_Red%C3%A9
Oskar Dieter Alex von Rosenberg-Redé[6] was born in Zurich, Switzerland, the younger son and third and youngest child of Oskar Adolf von Rosenberg-Redé (de), Baron von Rosenberg-Redé (1878–1939), a banker from Austria-Hungary.[7] His father—whose mother was Hungarian, whose father was unknown, and who was adopted by a banker by the name of Rosenberg — became a citizen of Liechtenstein and was created a baron in the Hungarian nobility by the Emperor of Austria in 1916.[3][8][9][10] Alexis's mother was Edith von Kaulla, a member of an ennobled German Jewish family that had been part-owners of the Bank of Württemberg. Redé was educated at Le Rosey in Switzerland.
He had two siblings:
Hubert von Rosenberg-Redé, Baron Rosenberg (1919–1942)
Marion von Rosenberg-Redé (born 1916), who was handicapped[11]
Following the suicide of his father in 1939 at the family's estate (Villa Rosin) in the Austrian town of Kaumberg,
Redé moved to New York City, where he briefly attempted to acquire American citizenship.[12][13] His brother committed suicide in Hollywood in 1942, whereupon Redé became the third and last Baron von Rosenberg-Redé, which was typically abbreviated as Baron de Redé in France. In 1946, he returned to Paris, in the entourage of Elsie de Wolfe.[7]
Later life[edit]
In 1972, Redé had his portrait painted by the fashionable painter Anthony Christian. In that year, he was also named in the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.[22][23]
In 1975, the Hôtel Lambert was purchased by Baron Guy de Rothschild, whose wife, Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, was a close friend of Redé. The Rothschilds henceforth used it as their Paris residence.
