Girl in a Coffin
» Sex Workers
Norma Levy was at the center of one of Britain’s sex-cum-politics scandals. But here she tells us what one of the world’s richest men used to pay for when he hired her during her time as a sex worker.
Perhaps her weirdest client was the oil magnate Jean Paul Getty, she recalls. She claims to have visited the late Getty, then in his 70s, three times at Sutton Place, his Tudor mansion near Guildford, Surrey.
‘When I got there, he would ask me to change into this white robe, and then make me lie down in an open coffin,’ she says.
‘I laid there, absolutely still, for about 50 minutes. No sex took place. Jean Paul would just stand over me in his underpants, just looking at me. I don’t know what he did, because I didn’t always have my eyes open.
‘I never worked out why he wanted me to play dead. It would take a psychiatrist to figure that out. I do know that he was very mean, though. When I called Jean Horn to say I had finished the call, he always made me use the pay-phone in the basement.’
