Richard Kaplan: Bio Summary

Richard Kaplan is the third man Carmen Dell’Orefice married

Before Richard Kaplan, Dell’Orefice was married to Bill Miles and then to Richard Heimann. “I married two Richards so it was easier rolling over in bed at night,”- She told Womanaroundtown in an interview.  Like her first marriage to Bill Miles, her second marriage didn’t last long. In 1960, the model and the photographer were no longer together. Even though they were no longer together, the couple stayed close for the next 53 years, until Richard died in 2013.

In the mid-1960s, Dell’Orefice met architect, Kaplan and the two bonded and eventually got married in 1963. They married in a beautiful wedding ceremony in the presence of their friends, families, and loved ones.

While talking to Dailymail, the supermodel revealed that -“I never married unless I was in love. I am an incurable romantic. These days, everyone wants a formula, and a list – they want this, they want that, yadda yadda yadda. People today have their list of demands, and they miss connections, they miss empathy. Life is chemistry.“

Architect Kaplan was Dell’Orefice’s third and last husband – the couple stayed together for about nine years before their marriage came to an end. The model shocked the fashion world when, in the Sixties, she stopped dying her hair, allowing it to fade to its natural white. The inspiration behind this decision is her husband Richard Kaplan, after angering her by pulling out a white hair as they lay in bed together.

She told the New York Post-“I thought, “No. No! I am your wife that you love so much? How dare he?” So I let my hair grow in.” Discovering he couldn’t have children was a big disappointment to the couple. Carmen had wanted more, Womanaroundtown reported. Carmen Dell’Orefice has a daughter from her first marriage with Bill Miles, her name is Laura Miles. Laura is psychologist.

Richard Kaplan and his wife Dell’Orefice lived in a triplex penthouse on Park Avenue and a home built from a barn in Amagansett. In 1974, the couple’s split was finalised and they went their separate ways. “Richard bought into the youth cult. We were surrounded by drugs, sexual libertarianism, and mini skirts. I was too old for it, maturing where he simply wouldn’t. I suddenly looked old to him.“- She told Womanaroundtown. She was 42 years old at that time.

The model revealed she almost had her breasts done to please him. “…which would’ve been a terrible mistake…” a little sigh escapes. “You can’t make people react any other way than they do.” After their marriage marriage came to end, Richard Kaplan went totally out of the limelight. Its unknown where he is and what he is up to.

Carmen on the other hand decided she would never walk to the altar again- she is done. “I’ve been a wife too often and a mother not often enough…When I divorced in ‘74, I took this one bedroom apt. It was a rental. I said to myself, just close the door. But of course, I’ve had the most fascinating and full life since I’ve moved here and it wasn’t exactly chopped liver before.” A newfound aura of independence coupled with success made her even more desirable, though now for a different kind of man.
