Mr. Jenner. Your former wife lived in Paris?
Mr. Taylor. Yes; my former wife, after the custody suit, was taken to Paris by her mother where she lived until the spring of 1959, when I met her.
Mr. Jenner. Now, while she was in Paris, were you dating Christiana?
Mr. Taylor. Yes; however, I was not even aware of Alex's existence until I met her that evening, as previously described.
Mr. Jenner. Have you information as to where Jeanne was born?
Mr. Taylor. In China.
Mr. Jenner. That's the present Mrs. De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. Taylor. Yes.
My knowledge of her is that—uh—it's rather sketchy, because that's all my former wife knew of her.
She was born in China. I believe her parentage, at least on one side, was Russian. She claimed that, at any rate. And she traveled through her late teens and early twenties—I don't know exactly how long—with her former husband, Mr. Bogovallenskia, as ballet performers.
