Pakistan Playboy Ambassador Who was Darling of Parties

Even a partial listing of actresses who, correctly or incorrectly, have been romantically linked with Aly by newspapers and columnists would make a sizable international casting directory. After his divorce from Rita he achieved black and breathless headlines with another worldwide romance, this time with Gene Tierney. For a while he saw a great deal of Merle Oberon. Italian papers noted he was dancing with Actress Lia Amanda. Hollywood's Joan Fontaine appeared regularly at his parties. There were recorded encounters with Actresses Kim Novak and Yvonne de Carlo. The press in Greece noted he was dancing with Actress Irene Papas. In Paris he saw a great deal of Actresses Danielle Delorme and Lise Bourdin

 Another thing Aly has more of than the average man is energy. It is so excessive as to be abnormal. Although he seldom goes to sleep before 3:30 or 4 o'clock in the morning and habitually arises again at 8:30, no day is long enough for him. He sweeps along at an almost frenzied pace, giving orders over his shoulder to aides and servants who trail breathlessly in his wake, dictating letters in French and English to his two secretaries, but never quite catching up to his appointments. There are not many instances on record of Aly's being completely punctual. This characteristic has not exactly endeared him to his associates and underlings. Said a U.N. aide sourly, ‘You would think a man of 47 would have learned to schedule his day properly.’
