It’s a very tough one, Ralph – very tough!

2) He or she once had an affair with a famous German, who was connected to a very famous movie.
3) I’m putting several photos above, which he or she, or their romantic interest, is featured in.

Looks like Robert beat you to the punch, Ralph. The famous paintings were right up his alley. Of course, the BIG news is not so much that Natalie Paley fits the description provided in my clues, but, rather, that it was her that “brushwhacked” Errol! – which I’m elaborating on over on the new “Virile Errol’s Royal Pain in the Ass”tab. This I believe has never been published before. But (everyone) please do promptly correct me if I’m wrong!

Very good, Sir Robert!
Being right up your alley as a painter, I thought the famous paintings might tip you off.
P.S. Good to hear a direct response from you. Haven’t seen one of those in quite a long while!
