Gordon Getty: Paul Getty
built 161 days ago
Getty married five times: to Jeanette Dumont (1923–25), Allene Ashby (1926–28), Adolphine Helmle (1928–32), Ann Rork (1932–35), and Theodora "Teddy" Lynch. He had five sons: George Franklin Getty (d. 1973) by his first wife, Jean Ronald Getty by his third wife, John Paul Getty and Gordon Getty by his fourth wife, and Timothy Getty (died aged 12) by his fifth wife.
As has been recently reported in the press, the artist Garth Benton is suing Gordon Getty, son of the art collector J. Paul Getty. Benton claims that one of his murals which was in Getty’s home has been painted over. The action is being brought in California under the Art Preservation Act of 1979, which prohibits intentional defacement, mutilation, alteration, or destruction of fine art.
In 1973 , his grandson, John Paul Getty III , was kidnapped. It is often reported that Getty refused to pay the ransom until he was sent the boy's severed right ear. In the end his grandson was released. However, this account oversimplifies the facts in the case.
