the materials relating to Faure, Kuniholm, and Mailles consists of letters
received by Pucciani; however, the Mailles files include copies of letters,
poems, and essays addressed by Pucciani to Mailles. The materials received from

Biography
Oreste Francesco Pucciani was born in Cleveland on April 7, 1916, the
son of a candy manufacturer. He attended the Cleveland public schools and
graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Adelbert College, Western
Reserve University (now Case Western University) in 1939. He took his doctorate
in Romance languages from Harvard in 1943. In 1946-47, Pucciani studied in
France and Italy on a Sheldon Traveling Fellowship, meeting Sartre and his
companion Simone de Beauvoir. Returning to the United States in 1947, Pucciani
lectured at Harvard, before joining the faculty of the University of California
Los Angeles as an Assistant Professor of French in 1948. He was became an
Associate Professor in 1954, and a full Professor in 1960. He was chairman of
the French department from 1961 to 1966, and became emeritus in 1979.
Pucciani's scholarly interests were diverse. His doctoral dissertation
was devoted to the reception of Walt Whitman in France. The
French Theater since 1930 (1954) remains a
useful anthology of French theater in the years between the world wars. He also
published a well regarded translation of Racine's masterpiece
Phédre in 1961. But Pucciani is best known
as an interpreter of the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, and pioneered in
teaching courses on Sartre at UCLA before the philosopher's works were
translated into English.
In addition to his work on Sartre, Pucciani was well known as a theorist
on methods of language acquisition. He had studied with Emile B. de Sauzé at
Western Reserve in the 1930s, and was an ardent champion of Sauzé's "direct
method" of language teaching, in which all instruction, including explanations
of grammar and vocabulary, is given in the target language. In the late 1950s,
Pucciani pioneered in adapting the direct method (still little known outside
the Cleveland public schools) to the UCLA French Department's language program.
The highly successful and influential textbook,
Langue et Langage, published by Pucciani and
Jacqueline Hamel in 1967, described the department's experience with the
direct method, and revealed the advantages of immediate and total immersion in
a foreign tongue.
For his services to French language and culture, Pucciani was awarded
the Knight's Cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government in 1965.
Pucciani was the long-time lover of fashion designer Rudi Gernreich. In
1988, after Gernreich's death, he established the ACLU Rudi Gernreich-Oreste
Pucciani Endowment Fund to support the fight for GLBT rights.
He died in Los Angeles on April 28, 1999.

Rudi Gernreich
1959-1986
Physical Description: 0.5 linear foot
Series Scope and Content Summary
Rudi Gernreich (1922-1985), Pucciani's long-time lover, was born in
Vienna, and fled Austria at age 16, settling in Los Angeles. His first career
was as a dancer; he later became a fabric designer, before moving into fashion
design. He was known for pushing the boundaries of the "futuristic look" in
clothing in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and is most notorious for inventing
the first topless women's swimsuit. However, most of Gernreich's creations
created a brief stir, and then quietly disappeared. Gernreich was also a gay
activist and a founder of the Mattachine Society. The small group of papers in
this series consists primarily of condolence letters sent to Pucciani after
Gernreich's death in April 1985. The series also contains a small number of
cards and letters addressed to Gernreich, papers relating to Pucciani's efforts
to obtain a parking variance for Gernreich's design studio, a handwritten
account by Gernreich of an injury to his hand, and a series of letters from
Gernreich's mother, Elisabeth, to Pucciani during one of his sabbaticals in
Europe.

Jacques Faure
1953-1986
Physical Description: 0.3 linear foot
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
Jacques Faure was born in Lyon, France, on May 22, 1926. His
family later moved to Paris, where he appears to have met Pucciani in 1946,
during the latter's year on the Sheldon Traveling Fellowship. The two began an
affair, and Faure moved to California to be with Pucciani. When the affair
ended in the early 1950s Pucciani remained a friend, both to Faure and to his
mother. In 1959, Faure took the position of art director at French Vogue,
published by Conde Nast, in Paris, marrying Patricia Enk a few days before
returning to France. He and his wife remained in France 12 years; their
daughter Zazu was born in 1965. Faure lost his position with Conde Nast and the
family returned to California in 1970; Faure and Patricia were divorced shortly
afterwards (Patricia later became a prominent Los Angeles art dealer). Faure
spent the rest of his life working as a free-lance designer, living next door
to Pucciani, who supported him during hard financial times. He died in hospital in
Torrance, California, on August 1, 1986. The subseries includes letters to
Pucciani from both Faure and his wife during their years in Paris, drawings by
Faure separated from the letters in which they were originally sent, an account
by Patricia Faure of the deterioration of their marriage, a 1984 book
typescript by Faure, and papers relating to his last illness and estate, of
which Pucciani served as executor.

Stanley Kuniholm
circa
1890-1984
Physical Description: 0.75 linear foot
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
Stanley Kuniholm was born in Massachusetts on June 9, 1912, of
Scandinavian and New England ancestry. He graduated from Gardner High School in
1929, and appears then to have become a factory worker. He began writing poetry
seriously in 1932. He later attended Tufts College, where he was associate
editor of the college literary magazine,
The Tuftonian, in 1938, and
editor-in-chief in 1940. He later taught high school in North Brookfield and
later at Manter Hall School, in Cambridge. He fell in his apartment, and was
not discovered for several days, in July 1982; he never fully recovered, and
died in Boston in February 1984. Kuniholm and Pucciani met in the 1930s, and
remained close friends until Kuniholm's death; from at least the early 1950s
Pucciani also provided Kuniholm with financial assistance. The papers in this
subseries consist primarily of Kuniholm's letters to Pucciani from December
1951 to January 1953, and copies of Kuniholm's poems, short stories and essays
written between 1932 and 1954. Kuniholm's letters and essays give considerable
insight into his creative processes.

Physical Description: 0.86 linear foot
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
Lionel Mailles was born on November 19, 1951, and lives in 32170
Laas, France; he also maintains a website, telepathes.org, possibly using the
name "Lionel Oreste". He and Pucciani had an intense affair in the mid-1970s,
often writing to each another several times a day. Pucciani also provided
extensive financial support for Mailles between from 1975 through 1977. The
papers in this subseries, all written in French, consist of Mailles' letters to
Pucciani from 1976 through 1979, with a few letters through the 1980s, and a
single letter from 1998; and of Pucciani's letters and other writings addressed
to Mailles from 1975 through 1977. The first three folders of Mailles' letters
to Pucciani and all folders of Pucciani's letters to Mailles retain the titles
given them by Pucciani. The majority of folders also retain Pucciani's original
reverse chronological order.

Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains miscellaneous memorabilia and ephemera found
among Pucciani's papers. These include an address book from 1958; four
passports for Pucciani; a Christmas stocking designed by Paul Batoon; a "Hello"
card with a racy pickup line; a 1974 map of Paris and environs; and a notepad
itemizing Pucciani's financial support for Lionel Mailles from 1975 through
1977. Pucciani's relationship with Catherine and Joseph Icide may derive
ultimately from Patricia (Enk) Faure, whose father was also a drop forger.
