He was a French mathematician who introduced the Poincaré–Lelong equation and the Lelong number. In mathematics, the Lelong number is an invariant of a point of a complex analytic variety that in some sense measures the local density at that point. More generally a closed positive (p,p) current u on a complex manifold has a Lelong number n(u,x) for each point x of the manifold. Similarly a plurisubharmonic function also has a Lelong number at a point.

He was an author, aristocrat and actor who co-starred with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. When the Spanish Civil War erupted in 1936, de Villalonga was at a French school, but his father ordered him back to Spain to fight on the side of General Franco. His father was an enthusiastic supporter of Franco, and at age 16 de Villalonga was a serving member of a Nationalist execution platoon. Villalonga was married three times, to British aristocrat Essylt-Priscilla Scott-Ellis (b. 1916 d. 1983) (married 1945, divorced 1972), Syliane Stella Morell (married 1974, divorced 1995), and since 1999 to journalist Begoña Aranguren. A spendthrift, he soon disposed of much of his first wife's inheritance and property. His frequent affairs, including a relationship with the French actress Michèle Girardon, while still legally married to Priscilla Scott-Ellis, took their toll on both women, as de Villalonga readily admitted. Girardon eventually committed suicide in 1975 after de Villalonga ended their relationship to marry Syliane Stella Morell. Though courts twice found him liable for alimony to his first wife Priscilla Scott-Ellis, de Villalonga never paid the judgment, an act which reduced her to poverty for the remainder of her life. His third wife Begona Aranguren also became disenchanted with de Villalonga, and the couple separated in 2002. Aranguren wrote a scathing portrayal of the aging socialite and their marriage in 2004.
