Am about 150 pages in. Great section on the tax donation scam that Frel was running. But am disappointed by the very gendered portrayal of Marion True's early years (eg comments about her buxom figure, her dating habits, etc. -- contrast this with the complete lack of such info regarding Houghton). Also a lot of distracting, irrelevant gossip (from her ex-stepdaughter, for example) about behavior that is totally private and has nothing to do with the Getty or its collecting practices. I am totally sympathetic to this book's larger arguments, but this kind of blatant sexism really turns me off.
