Hello, I'm a little confused by this one. She doesn't look 60 years old. Are you sure this isn't Nathalie Benckendorff, the daughter of Count Constantine Benckendorff and Maria Korchinska the famous harpist. She would have been born in 1923 and a much more likely candidate. She married Humphrey Brooke in 1946, the year of this photo.
