Victoria Jane Getty, Lady Getty (née Holdsworth, formerly Brooke; born 1944) is an English philanthropist and former model. Since 2003 she has been a trustee of the J. Paul Getty Trust.
Early life

She is the daughter of Gerald Holdsworth, a Suffolk landowner.[1][2][3]

Personal life
[edit | edit source]She married James Bertram Lionel Brooke, the son of Anthony Walter Dayrell Brooke, in 1964.[6][1] She and Brooke were divorced in 1969. She married John Paul Getty Jr. as her second husband in 1994.[7][8] Her husband had been awarded an honorary knighthood in 1987, but was not able to use the title substantively until he became a British subject in 1997. After her husband was granted British citizenship, Holdsworth was styled as Lady Getty. She played a major role in reintroducing her husband to public life and helping him overcome his drug addiction.[9][10][11]
