""The last Bonaparte'' lived from 1882 to 1962 and was the daughter of the emperor's great-nephew. Married to Prince George of Greece, she had many affairs, was a patient of Freud and was active both in rescuing Jews from the Nazis and in establishing psychoanalysis in France. PW called this portrait ``absorbing from beginning to end.'' (May)
