Embattled former Getty curator Marion True has long had a reputation as an upright, outstanding curator, held in high esteem by those who worked with her. “True isn’t speaking publicly. But friends and colleagues paint a portrait of a woman of ferocious intellect and daunting memory, a vase maven who reads Latin, Greek and Italian and bestows names from mythology on her cats. This Marion True knits expertly, took up the lute as an adult, and always seemed the very picture of prudence. Now True’s calendar reads like the script for a Greek drama.”
