Profirio Rubirosa was a rather famous roue, and was a "jetsetter" even before jets.
He was perhaps unique for having both had an affair with Zsa Zsa Gabor, and having married her sister Eva.
His amorous exploits were legendary, and died crashing his Ferrari into a tree.
There's more on him at

He could be an inspiration to us all!
Nah, I think it's this medical condition, caused by Digger the Dermatophyte.
