THE GETTY ADDRESS

Visited AILEEN GETTY at her newly acquired Paul William's sprawling ranch house in Ojai, California.

She surprised us with lunch, a superb array of vegan delights. [The dessert was to "Live For!"]  The cozy foursome consisted of  L.A. artist, Davidd Batalon and the delightful publicist, Sarah Ezzy. The afternoon was filled with captivating conversation -- a mix of moving dialogue, lighthearted tales, and engaging memories. Think Max's Kansas City New York or the Paris salon of Gertrude Stein. Her lovable Akita, Tara, was on hand to provide added entertainment. Thank you, Aileen, for a ravishing afternoon.

A very interactive interview

DANN:  "Come on, Sarah. Let's boogie down, girl!"

AILEEN [pointing]:  "Don't drop her, Dann. I need her in one piece!"

Fused with artwork, this is Aileen's living room

The home is centralized around a courtyard fountain, 

dotted with flowing olive trees. 

What a peaceful effect.

Aileen and Tara -- two sweethearts

 Time to bid adieu

Thanks for your sunny and generous hospitality, Aileen!
