Legendary Aristocratic Photographer Marianne Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn Bids Farewell at 105
Photographer from Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn Passes Away - Celebrity shutterbug Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn passes away.
Hey there! Let's talk about Marianne Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn, the celebrity photographer, who recently passed away at the ripe age of 105 in Munich. That's right, a century and five years of capturing the brightest stars and captivating personalities!
Known as "Mamarazza" to her friends and peers, Marianne was a master photographer, having captured countless celebrities over several decades. The German Press Agency confirmed the news of her passing.
Her star-studded portfolio includes the likes of Britain's current monarch, King Charles III, opera sensation Maria Callas, and the iconic James Bond actor, Sean Connery. Her nickname stemmed from a joke by Caroline of Monaco, who hilariously commented, "You're not a paparazzo, you're a Mamarazza."
Marianne remained a social butterfly even in her later years. Plans were in the works to move her residence back to Sayn in Rhineland-Palatinate, and she also maintained a second home in Austria's Fuschl, often hosting A-list talent during the Salzburg Festival.
Descending from Austrian Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780), Marianne was a mother of five and boasts over 60 descendants through her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. While her interest was never in the allure of celebrity, rather the intriguing personalities that lay within, as her daughter-in-law Gabriela zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn has previously emphasized.
