The Lady of Longleat
Tania Duckworth, model, child star, actress and singer from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) poses with lion Marquess in bikini bottoms and a leather jacket, circa October 1967, at Longleat, the ancestral home of the Marquesses of Bath. Longleat dates from 1579 and is regarded as one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture, is the first stately home to open to the public in Britain and the first to feature a safari park outside of Africa. Tania is the "anti-wife" of Viscount Weymouth, Alexander Thynne (later Thynn), subsequently the 7th Marquess of Bath, to whom she was married in a "deist-humanist" ceremony of his own devising in 1966; in 1969 they were to have an "anti-divorce" though she is nowhere listed as his official wife. The 7th Marquess was known especially for having over seventy mistresses or "wife-lets" and erotic murals depicting scenes from the Kama Sutra which he painted and which adorned the private apartments of Longleat; after her "divorce" Tania had an uncredited screen role as a "Brothel Girl" in Federico Fellini's film "Satyricon". The 7th Marquess died of the Covid-19 virus in April 2020 at the age of 87. (Photo by John Bulmer/Popperfoto via Getty Images)

The eccentric owner of Longleat Safari Park Lord Bath has died aged 87 after testing positive for coronavirus.
Alexander Thynn, the 7th Marquess of Bath, died at the Royal United Hospital in Bath yesterday after being admitted on March 28.
He was the owner of Longleat Safari Park in Warminster, but was best known for his flamboyant dress sense and affairs with as many as 70 women, which he referred to as his 'wifelets'.
Viscount Weymouth gave many of his mistresses homes to live in within the grounds of his sprawling Wiltshire estate.
They caused upset when his son, Ceawllin Thynn, took over day-to-day management of Longleat in 2010 and eventually ended with him boycotting his son's wedding to Strictly Come Dancing star Emma Weymouth.
The eccentric aristocrat also had frescoes done of the Kama Sutra so he could decorate his lavish home with erotic images.
In 2009 he was ranked 359th in the Sunday Times Rich List with an estimated net worth of £157million.
The flamboyant aristocrat was also a regular feature of the Animal Park television show about his estate.
TV presenter Ben Fogle paid tribute to Lord Bath on Twitter, posting a picture of him and his colleague Kate Humble with the safari park owner.
He wrote: 'Devastated to hear the sad passing of Lord Bath. We spent nearly two decades with the eccentric and colourful Lord at Longleat filming Animal Park.
'He will be missed. Sending my love and condolences to the family @Emmaweymouth1 and everyone at @Longleat.'
Kate Humble added: 'Very sad to hear about Lord Bath of @Longleat.
'Everyone will describe him as eccentric - & he was, gloriously so - but he was also king & fun - & we all need a bit of kindness & fun in our lives.'
Piers Morgan also paid tribute to him, describing him as 'one of Britain's most colourful characters'.
