Jocelyn Lane: 1971 - 1979

1970's Spanish Publication

In 1971, Jocelyn settled into being a socialite among the internationally rich and famous, appearing as herself in a 1971 West German television documentary.  Her relationship with Beldon Katleman ended as she became seriously involved with Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, owner of the famous Marbella Club in Spain.  There were even rumors that the two would be married that year.  The marriage did not happen, however, until 1973 in Las Vegas.  Rumors were that his mother was against the marriage.  Later in 1973, they had an "official" wedding ceremony in Spain.  

The remainder of the 1970's saw Jocelyn as a socialite wife and mother, living in Spain and garnering attention as such, mostly in the Spanish press. There were reports that she had a miscarriage in 1974.  In 1975, her only child, Princess Arriana Theresa Mara von Hohenlohe was born. 

1971

The February 22, 1971 Suzy Knickerbocker gossip column reported:

"Surprise! Surprise!  Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe, 54, the aristocratic proprietor of the Marbella Club in Marbella, Spain, and the new Marbella Club in Acapulco, Mexico, will marry Jackie Lane this weekend in Marbella.

You all remember Jackie.  She has been coupled with this one and that one through the years, including the Brazilian playboy of yore, Baby Pignatari, who was once married to Princess Ira zu Furstenberg wo was also married to Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe when she was 15.  Let's hear it out there for what a small world it is.

Anyhow-Jackie's romance for the last five years has been Los Angeles financier Beldon Katleman who owns hotels and things in Las Vegas.  He also owns part of the land on which the Marbella Club in Acapulco stands.  Listen, maybe he'll give it to Jackie for a wedding present.  Yes, and maybe he won't.

Alfonso is half Mexican, his mother being an Yurbe, synonymous for one of Mexico's first families.  His father, Prince Max Hohenlohe, bought land in Marbella when it cost nothing and held on until it reached the sky.  Alfonso built his club on the land - and you know the rest."

IMDB says that Jocelyn appeared as herself in the first episode of a West German television documentary series called V.I.P. - Schaukel, which aired on May 9, 1971.

A photo of Jocelyn appeared in the July 1971 edition of the Spanish publication C7:

The September 15, 1971 gossip column Voice of Broadway noted:  Beldon Katleman of the Las Vegas hiearchy didn't know what happened - there was his favorite actress, Jackie Laine, suddenly very serious about Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe."

I do not know the date of this picture of Jocelyn with Hohenlohe, but I am going to include it here for now.  It looks like it is probably from the early stages of their courtship:

Here are additional photos at the same event:

1972

Here is a picture of Jocelyn on the front page of a January 21, 1972 West German newspaper.  The accompanying small article appears to be something about her and an Arab sheik, but I cannot read the print in the photo well enough to attempt a translation.

A photo of Jocelyn graced the cover of the March 24, 1972 edition of a South African publication, Huisgenoot:

1973

An old 1964 picture of Jocelyn on the cover of the May 1973 edition of the U.S. publication Saga, in which a pictorial of mid-to-late 1960's photos appears:

Jocelyn O. Bolton married Alfonso Hohenlohe on May 3, 1973 in Las Vegas, according to Clark County Nevada marriage records.  Jocelyn listed her residence state as New Mexico.  I'm presuming that she obtained an address there for a very limited time, because it was the quickest way to meet residency requirements to get married in Nevada.  Alfonso was a few weeks shy of his 49th birthday, and Jocelyn was a couple of weeks shy of her 36th birthday.

The Dorothy Manners Hollywood gossip column on May 26, 1973 reported:

"Jackie Lane, former sexy-type actress in Hollywood and former girl friend of wealthy Beldon Katleman, called him from Las Vegas to congratulate him on his recent marriage to Carol Belcher.  Jackie had some marriage news of her own.

She had just married Prince Alphonse Hohenloe (ex-husband of Ira Furstenberg) in Vegas.  Ever since Jackie departed the Hollywood scene she and the Prince have been constantly together in Marbella, Spain, where he operates the 'in' nightclub.

No longer an actress, sexy or otherwise, Jackie has been doing well in real estate in resorts in Spain.  Hohenloe also has a nightclub in Mexico which the newlywoods will visit before returning to Marbella."

Jocelyn on the cover of the June 1973 edition of the Spanish publication Gaceta Ilustrada:

In the June 17, 1973 edition of the Colorado Springs, CO Gazette Telegraph, there is a syndicated gossip column about royals that says:

"We reported here not long ago that Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe, who runs the swank Marbella Club in Southern Spain, was observing mama's wishes and not marrying his long-playing girlfriend Jackie Lane.  Well, the other day love triumphed and Jackie and the Prince said 'I do' in a civil ceremony in New York.  The Prince would still like a Vatican annulment to his one-time marriage to Princess ira Furstenberg.  (My, these things get complicated - we seem to recall there had to be special Vatican permission for Alfonso and Ira to marry in the first place, since at the time, she was only sixteen years old).

The same gossip column, in the October 7, 1973 edition, reported:

"Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe, who runs the Marbella Club in the South of Spain, will wed his long-time girlfriend Jackie Lane in November.  That is to say, the are already married, but this time it will be 'official.' Conservative Spanish society has already accepted the match."

Persona - April 1973

1974

In the first part of 1974, the Spanish press was reporting that Jocelyn and Alfonso had married and were expecting their first child in July.  The publication Diez Minutos:

The article generally translated as follows:

"Jackie Lane expecting her first child in July"

"One of the places where the most important names in the 'Jet-Set' international meet is the bar of the Palace Hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland.  Here the Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe, owner of the Marbella Club hotel, on the Costa del Sol, and actress Jackie Lane have invited a few days ago a group of friends for a big announcement.  Among those present were the famous conductor Herbert von Karajan with his wife, Eliette, and former playboy Gunter Sachs, along with his wife Mirja.

The news was: Alfonso, forty-nine years and Jackie, thirty-three, had married. The wedding took place in the spring of last year in Las Vegas, as he himself confessed.  But it was not just this that Alfonso and Jackie had to communicate with friends. There was something more: Jackie is expecting their first child in July."

In the Spring of 1974, the Marbella Club celebrated its 20th Anniversary, which was documented in the May 4, 1974 edition of the Spanish publication Semana.  Prince Hohenlohe's current wife, Jocelyn, and ex-wife, Ira von Furstenberg, were in attendance.

On July 7, 1974, the Dorothy Manners Hollywood gossip column reported:

"Was Jackie Lane, former glamorous starlet, now the wife of Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe, of Marbella, quietly in town last week?  Some former friends report she had slipped in on business and saw her old friend and former fiance Beldon Katleman.  If she was, the trip was certainly a quickie.  Jackie and her titled mate are well covered in international gossip columns and she's a familiar face to local reporters.

Not long ago it was printed in European papers that Jackie and the Prince had lost an expected baby and that she had been ill."

A clipping from a 1974 unidentified Spanish publication:

1975

Here are some photos of Jocelyn in 1975 when she was pregnant (from a Spanish publication):

And some more clippings from around that same time:

Jocelyn's daughter, Princess Arriana Theresa Mara von Hohenlohe was born on October 15, 1975 in London, England.  After Arriana's birth, the family was featured in the Spanish publication Hola:

A picture of the couple with newborn Arriana also appeared on another Spanish publication, Diez Minutos:

Here is a picture of Jocelyn with Sean Connery.  I think that it is probably from 1975, since that type of mustache is what he wore in The Man Who Would Be King (released in December of 1975).  I do not know where the photo was taken (perhaps the Marbella Club?).

1976

I have not yet been able to locate much information about what Jocelyn was up to in 1976.

Here is a German magazine (freitag illustrierte) article about her in November 1976:

Here's an article from a Swedish magazine in 1976:

1976 publications in which Jocelyn appeared, but for which I do not yet have any images:

Week - December 1976

1977

Variety, February 16, 1977:  Reporting from Frankfurt on February 15, there is an article called "German Prince Opening Chic Nitery for Oil-Rich Men At Arab Sheikdom."  The article reports that German Prince Alfonso zu Hohenlohe is known in show business as "the ex-husband of sometimes actress Princess Ira zu Fuerstenburg and currently wed to film starlet Jackie Lane."  In addition to his Marbella Club society and showbiz hangout in southern Spain, he is now opening a nightspot in Sharja, one of the United Arab Emirates along the Persian Gulf.   

Here is a picture of Jocelyn with her husband and Arriana.  I'm not sure of the exact date, but based on the look of Arriana, my guess is that it is from 1977.

1978

Jocelyn was featured in the February 1978 edition of Persona (It appears that the photos were probably taken a few years earlier):

Pictures of Jocelyn appeared in the August 3, 1978 edition of a West German publication, Praline:

The gist of the Praline article is that Alfonso's son Hubertus (with Ira von Furstenerg) was dating an 18-year-old Spanish girl, who was a commoner.  Supposedly Alfonso was not happy about that and had tried to set him up with girls of nobility.  The article notes that Hubertus did not understand why his father would have such a view, since he married actress Jackie Lane, who was not nobility.

Here is a picture of Jocelyn with Arriana in 1978:
