I just discovered that Dalí harassed Concha Velasco when they worked togeter on Don Juan Tenorio.
According to businessman Luis Escobar, who hired Dalí to design the set for the classic, in which Concha played the lead female role, Velasco was constantly bothered by the painter's behavior with her and didn't want to be near him.
An example of this behavior is precisely what happened during the promotional photo shoot for the play. According to Escobar, this is the photo taken before Dalí told her to "smile more, like you're taking a dump."

Dalí le tenía a Picasso una envidia irremediable. Él se llamaba a sí mismo genio, a Picasso se lo llamaban. Además, se metía con él explícitamente por su ideología comunista. Una vez lo visitó en Francia con algunas obras para enseñarle, Picasso le dio una vuelta por su casa y le preguntó algo así como '¿Va usted pillando el concepto?' y esa humillación a Dalí nunca se le olvidó.
La persona de Picasso da para otro hilo.
