I think this is closer to the truth.
"While the Lamures were living at the Via Elevada house in the 1940s, Pierre began working on his most famous work, a biographical** novel about French artist Henri de Toulouse-Latrec titled Moulin Rouge. Mildred Beckstrand, a friend of the Lamures at the time, recalled in a 1964 interview that she spent many evenings at the Lamure house listening to Pierre read chapters of his work-in-progress aloud to groups of friends.
By the time Random House published Moulin Rouge in 1950, the Lamures had left Palos Verdes, and Pierre Lamure’s name had become Pierre la Mure on the book jacket. The book was a huge success, and was translated into at least 18 languages."
**I'm not sure this is a true biography.
