Actress, Socialite, Heiress. One of the leading figures of early 20th century Chelsea Bohemian movement. She spent her early years in a Japanese POW camp. In her late teens, she enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts with the intention of becoming an actress. Talitha met John Paul Getty II at the dinner party of Claus Von Bulow, a personal assistant of J. Paul Getty. Getty Jr. was an heir to one of the biggest fortunes in the world. He started an affair with Talitha, after divorcing his first wife Gail, with whom he had four children. Talitha married Getty on December 10, 1966. Talitha gave up her acting career, despite playing a cameo in Barbarella in 1968, and the two became a part of the international jet-setting lifestyle sharing their time between London, Rome and Marrakech. Photographer Patrick Lichfield took one of the most famous photos of his career there – it depicted Talitha, with hooded Paul in the background, on the terrace with a view of the city. The photo is said to have captured the mysterious and mystical atmosphere of Marrakesh. By late 1960s, the Getty’s had become heroin addicts. Their addiction would result in a tragedy… In 1968, Talitha gave birth to her son, whom she named Tara Gabriel Gramophone Galaxy Getty. On 11 July 1971, Talitha died in Rome of an overdose.

Philanthropist. John Paul Getty Jr. was the third of five sons of J. Paul Getty, nicknamed “Oklahoma Crude,” who built Getty Oil into a $6 billion fortune, making him the richest man in the world in his day. After attending the University of San Francisco and doing a brief stint in the army, Getty Jr. took charge of Getty Oil enterprises in Rome. But he resigned within six years. He then embarked on a freewheeling lifestyle of drugs and parties, growing his hair and adopting colorful velvet kaftans. In 1967, he divorced his wife of 11 years, Gail, with whom he had four children. The bulk of Getty’s fortune came from a family trust after the sale of Getty Oil to Texaco in 1984. His father, from whom he was estranged, left him only a nominal sum in his will. Getty was given the honorary title of Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1986 for services to charity, but could not be called Sir Paul then because he was not a British citizen. He was invested with the full honors in 1998, a year after changing his citizenship.

The beautiful model Talitha, who could have played Helen of Troy, is in my family tree. These are Rose of the World Women. Who has gathered them together, and why?
I forgot to say Lawrence Chazen was my father’s private lender, and Christine’s partner in the Crossroads Gallery. All in the family – aye?
Now, if I can just prove we are kin to those Greek warriors who poured out of the Trojan horse!
In horse and norse…..there is a rose!
Time to apply for a grant.

Talitha became the second wife of John Paul Getty, Jr. on 10 December 1966. She was married in a white mini-skirt, trimmed with mink.[5] The Gettys became part of “Swinging” London’s fashionable scene, becoming friends with, among others, singers Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones and his girl-friend Marianne Faithfull. Faithfull has recounted her apprehension, through “ingrained agoraphobia”, about an invitation to spend five weeks with the Gettys in Morocco (“but for Mick this is an essential part of his life”) and how, after splitting from Jagger, she took up with Talitha Getty’s lover, Count Jean de Breteuil, a young French aristocrat (1949–1971). Breteuil supplied drugs to rock stars such as Jim Morrison of the Doors, Keith Richards, and Marianne Faithfull, who wrote that Breteuil “saw himself as dealer to the stars”.[6][7][8] For his part, Richards recalled that John Paul and Talitha Getty “had the best and finest opium”.[9]

The borough of artists
Chelsea once had a reputation as London’s bohemian quarter, the haunt of artists, radicals, painters and poets. Little of this seems to survive now – the comfortable squares off King’s Road are homes to, amongst others, investment bankers and film stars. The Chelsea Arts Club continues in situ; however, the Chelsea College of Art and Design, founded in 1895 as the Chelsea School of Art, moved from Manresa Road to Pimlico in 2005.
The Chelsea Book Club, at no. 65 Cheyne Walk (Lombard Terrace), a bookshop that also presented exhibitions and lectures, held the first exhibition of African art in London (sculpture from Ivory Coast and Congo) in 1920, and was the first bookshop to stock Joyce’s Ulysses in 1922. Sold in 1928 owing to financial problems, it became the Lombard Restaurant.[11]
Its reputation stems from a period in the 19th century when it became a sort of Victorian artists’ colony: painters such as James Webb, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, J. M. W. Turner, James McNeill Whistler, William Holman Hunt, and John Singer Sargent all lived and worked here. There was a particularly large concentration of artists in the area around Cheyne Walk and Cheyne Row, where the Pre-Raphaelite movement had its heart. The artist Prunella Clough was born in Chelsea in 1919.
