She is actually Princess Isabella von Martinitz, who is a blood relative to Marie Antoinette, since a great-grand mother of hers was Archduchess Maria Theresa, Marie Antoinette's mother.
1972 photo courtesy of Cheryl Chapin Petrovich of Nan Wood Graham, Countess Isabella von Martinitz and Count Franz von Martinitz (relatives of Cheryl). This photo was taken in Nan's home in Riverside, CA.
Nan was a long time family friend of my family from when she was a child. She used to go to my great-grandfather's and mother's house when she was a child because her family were Quakers, so they did not celebrate holidays.
I meant to say she went over to my family's house for Christmas as a child. She said they had wonderful German decorations and chocolates. He brother Grant (the artist) would do pranks like put up fences between their yards called something like spite fences. I don't know what that was about except pranks.
