For all the distrust and lack of affection Getty displayed towards his family, he didn’t deny the connection they shared. In his autobiography, he recalls the summer of 1975, when Paul III’s siblings visited their grandfather at Sutton Place. Getty wrote, “I was delighted to have them — just as I was delighted by the visits during that same summer of my other grandchildren [and their parents]… It was a most reassuring summer for Grandfather J. Paul Getty. It proved that despite anything and everything — be it wealth, divorce, tragedy, or any of the other myriad conditions and tribulation of life — the Getty family is a family and will continue to be one.”
