My Take
Gloria, Princess of Thurn and Taxis fascinates me for the sheer range of her life. In the 1980s she was the punk-styled jet-set figure nicknamed Princess TNT, all extravagance and color. Yet she pivoted to rescue her family's fortune as a businesswoman, worked as a painter, and grew into a devout, traditionalist Catholic. That swing between flamboyance and faith, recklessness and stewardship, is what I find so human and compelling. Decorated with the German and Bavarian Orders of Merit, she has lived several distinct chapters in one biography. People who reinvent themselves this completely always hold my attention.
