We seem to have no current source for a place of birth in Brixton. Bessone, in his autobiography: Bessone, R. (1976), Raymond – The outrageous autobiography of Teasie-Weasie, London, Wyndham Publications, ISBN 0-352-39757-8, claims that he was born ".. in a second floor room of 61, Wardour Street". This seems to be supported by the entry in the Register of Births for Apr/May/Jun 1911: "Bessone Raimindo, C.P. ... Westminster 1a 413." In fact the first two chapters of his book give a rich account of his childhood in Soho.
Although the family were Catholic, Bessone and his sister were sent to the French Protestant school on Noel Street. At the age of nine he was sent to a Catholic boarding school in South London where discipline was extremely strict, but was eventually brought home by his parents who were concerned for his safety. Shortly ater his the family moved for a while to a large Edwardian house in Meads Row, Lambeth. Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 22:11, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
In his autobiography, Bessone claims that in 1953, having set up a chain of successful salons under the name "Raymond", he had become increasingly infuriated by other unknown hairdressers cashing-in on the name. He was advised by his laywers, however, that he had no legal defence, since anyone could claim to have the first name "Raymond". He had resisted changing his name in case he offended his parents, but by 1953, since his parents had both died, he changed his name, by deed poll, to Peter Carlo Bessone Raymond.

There is a whole body of literature written by men claiming to have seduced Marilyn Monroe in the unlikeliest of circumsyances, it can hardly be Original Research to discount the most ridiculous. Surely the adding of reported but scurrilous gossip added to the Wikipedia entries of the living are what can give wikipedia a bad reputation. Unless a rumour becomes a phonomenon in itself is it worth of inclusion. This notable person's contribution was to hairdressing and not who he slept with ! A paragraph on this matter larger than anyother part of the entry is unecessary. Please let me know where to take this further, and how, if I am not using correct wikipedia procedures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victorianaesthete ( talk • contribs) 11:35, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
But an page on a person is based on a contribution to society and culture = notability, which is undeniable in this case. An insistence of this paragraph surely makes the entry a page on an autobiographical book ? Victorian Aesthete ( talk) 12:41, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
LOL, well you seem to insist by continuing to suggest. We'd have to have a poll to reach concensus, but to me it remains trivia. Good luck with the Category:Men Who Claim To Have Slept With Marilyn Monroe?! page ! 86.162.217.83 ( talk) 14:14, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Seriously? A hairdresser received an OBE? Is it me or does this seem just terribly strange? Newjerseyliz ( talk) 21:30, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
