Early years

Born Iris Maria Lia Menshall in New York, Milan was a salesman's daughter.[1]

Personal life

Milan married former president of the Dominican Republic Ramfis Trujillo in 1960.[2] They had two sons.[1] In 1969, Trujillo died of pneumonia, following hospitalization for a traffic accident.

In a 2013 interview, Milan said of her marriage: "It was a gallant kidnapping. He (Trujillo) was a dark prince on a white horse. But at the same time it was my mistake because I could have gone much further as an actress.” She also described herself as "a sad figure. I have a tragic sense of life, although I always try to disguise it with frivolity, a way to alleviate sadness."[3] In 2017 it was reported that Milan lives in Madrid, rarely makes public appearances, and has not appeared on television or film since 1959.[4]
