• ... that the 1,000 guests at one of Pierre Schlumberger's parties included Gina Lollobrigida, Audrey Hepburn, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Henry Ford II? ([1])

• New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Hook cited. --evrik ^(talk) 17:25, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook wording is inaccurate. The source (footnote 5) attributes these guests to both Schlumberger's and Pantino's parties, and they did not all come at the same time. Yoninah (talk) 20:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

• Fair point, Yoninah. On reflection, the book source is too ambiguous, and the online Architectural Digest source only specifically mentions Gina Lollobrigida and Audrey Hepburn. I will investigate further, but may have to come up with some sort of ALT1. Edwardx (talk) 22:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

• evrik and Yoninah. Have done some expansion. How about a hook along the lines of ALT1 below? Edwardx (talk) 20:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that Pierre Schlumberger ran the family business, was a "visionary" art collector, and hosted guests including Audrey Hepburn, Yves Saint Laurent, Andy Warhol, and Rudolf Nureyev?

• @Edwardx: thank you. ALT1 hook refs verified and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:17, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
