She married Parisian socialite Lucien Teissier in Paris in May 1944. They had two children, Alexis (born 1946) and Marie Beatrice (born 1950). She and her husband owned a summer residence in
Versailles and, in 1950, they purchased the
Villa San Michele in
Fiesole. Her husband transformed their Italian villa into a luxury boutique hotel. The Teissiers later divorced.
Affair with J. Paul Getty When she was thirty-six years old, Teissier was introduced to
J. Paul Getty by their mutual friend
Paul-Louis Weiller. Getty was a frequent guest of Teissier's at the Villa San Michele, particularly in between trips to
Milan and Naples. When Getty invited British interior designer Penelope Ann Kitson to stay at
Sutton Place, Teissier and Getty's other live-in mistresses, Rosabella Burch and
Lady Ursula d'Abo, were infuriated. Both Teissier and Lady Ursula claimed to be Getty's "one true love" and Teissier had been the one to initially convince Getty to purchase the manor house. When Getty died in 1976, Teissier was listed alongside Lady Ursula, Kitson, Burch, Countess Marianne
von Alvensleben, Karin Mannhardt, Hildegard Kuhn, Gloria Bigelow, Mary Maginnis, and Belene Clifford in his will. She received the second-largest inheritance from Getty, after Kitson, which included 2,500 shares of
Getty Oil, valued at $413,125, and a $750 monthly allowance for the remainder of her life. She died in
Châteauneuf-Grasse on 1 August 1990. == References ==
