At a French nightclub Dalí met the model Amanda Lear, then known as Peki Oslo, who became his protégée and one of his muses. According to Lear, she and Dalí were united in a “spiritual marriage” on a deserted mountaintop.

The Castle of Púbol for Gala
Dalí bought the Castle of Púbol for Gala; from 1971 she would retreat there for weeks at a time, and he agreed not to visit without her written permission. His fear of abandonment by his muse fed his depression and failing health.

The Chupa Chups logo and the Eurovision stage
