Cynthia Beck is an American businesswoman, who was the long-term mistress of Gordon Getty, had three children with him, and is a major property owner in the Los Angeles area.[1]
Personal life
[edit]Beck had three daughters with Gordon Getty.[1]
In August 1999, Getty's "secret second family" in Los Angeles became public knowledge as a result of Cynthia Beck having a court hearing on behalf of her three daughters, seeking the possibility for them to change their surname to Getty and be able to seek to claim a share in the Getty family fortune.[1][2]
In 2019, it was reported that her "longtime companion" was Girard Damien Saenz, with whom she co-owned some properties.[3]
Property ownership
[edit]Beck owns at least 20 houses in the Los Angeles area, with many of the homes in run-down or derelict condition.[4][5] She owns an "abandoned" beachfront house at Paradise Cove in Malibu, next to the home of John McEnroe and his wife Patty Smyth, bought from Getty in September 1991 for $3 million.[4]
Beck owns a "neglected" three-acre estate in Beverly Hills.[5] She owns a four-bedroom house in West Sunset Boulevard jointly with Girard Damien Saenz.[5]
Legal issues
[edit]In May 2019, police raided a house that Beck owns in Bel-Air and arrested her "longtime companion" Girard Damien Saenz, and seized over 1,000 guns.[3][5] 30 law enforcement personnel needed over 12 hours to remove all the weapons.[3]
