The Dowager Marchioness of Bath obituary
Hungarian model, actress and journalist who turned a blind eye to her eccentric husband’s 70 or more ‘wifelets’ at Longleat
Anna Gyarmathy was a 15-year-old Hungarian expat living in Paris when she sneaked out of school to watch an art-house film in a seedy cinema. After moving a row to avoid a man who was pestering her, she found herself sitting next to an unkempt Englishman in a baggy sweater and cords.
He was Alexander Thynne, a 26-year-old art student at La Grande Chaumière art college in Montparnasse, who conquered his shyness by inviting her to join him for a demitasse. Within a couple of months he had persuaded the impressionable teenager to pose nude at his studio before whisking her away for a year travelling around South America in his Jaguar...
...Her career had received a boost in 1963 when she married Gilbert Pineau, a French director...
...The sanctity of marriage did not seem to trouble Gyarmathy or Thynne, who in 1976 had the “e” legally removed from the end of his surname so that it would rhyme with “pin” not “pine”. “We kept in touch all through the years and we lived together for chunks of time,” said the future seventh Marquess of Bath, who became known as the “loins of Longleat” on account of his 70-plus “wifelets” and the lions that roamed his father’s estate in Wiltshire.
Yet by 1969 this unconventional aristocrat, who had previously entered into an “anti-marriage” with Tania Duckworth, an Anglo-Ceylonese model, was getting broody. He approached Gyarmathy with a suggestion. “I was coming up to 37 and I needed a legitimate son if Longleat was to pass down through me,” he told People magazine in 1976. “I broached the idea of a son and asked did she want to be the mother.”...
...By Thynne’s account, Gyarmathy’s marriage to Pineau was already disintegrating. “We agreed to marry when a child was on the way,” he said. They tied the knot at a London register office when she was three months pregnant...
She ... presented him with their first child, Lenka, a former fashion model who became a television researcher. Five years later the family was completed with the arrival of his desired son and heir, Ceawlin, named after a Dark Ages king of Wessex, who is now the eighth marquess...
...Anna Abigail Gyarmathy was born in Budapest in 1943, the daughter of Laszlo Izsak Gyarmathy, a mathematician, and his wife, a poet about whom little is known. At the age of six young Anna was smuggled on a false passport out of Hungary to Paris, where her mother was living. Her father put her on a train and kissed her goodbye. They never met again. Her mother remarried and Anna grew up in what she described as “a very bohemian family”...
