My name is Linda and I'm a hostess at the Naughty Interviews , which is a series of interviews with real women from all around the world about their lives, secret things, sex, their naughtiness and more . In general, we find women who are ready to talk openly about their intimate life and share their secrets with us . With the Naughty Interviews series, there is no secret in the lives of our guests that will stay a secret after their interview with us. Our goal is to go deep into people's lives to find out what their lives actually look like, which is always much different from how their lives look in public. During our interviews we have found out about many affairs, cheating partners, secret desires and dreams, naughty things that people have done but usually don't want others to know about it, and much more. In this issue of the Naughty Interviews series I'm talking with Dana . She is a wife and mother of a little boy . I actually met Dana in an online chatroom where we talked a lot about each other's lives. When I asked her to meet in person and talk for one session of the Naughty Interviews, she said "no" at first, but when I convinced her that no real private information about her life would ever be revealed, she agreed to do an interview with me. Grab this book now and find out how our conversation went and which secrets Dana decided to share with us!
Linda Murray, née Bramley, was born in Kent in 1913 and died in Farmoor (near Oxford) in 2004.
A Renaissance scholar, she was the daughter of J. F. Bramley, an exporter, and Hélène Marie Blanche Manso di Villa. She was educated principally by her mother, preferring to travel with them rather than attend boarding school. French and English were her native tongues; she rapidly learned Spanish and Italian. She studied painting at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts, Brussels. During World War II Bramley worked for the U.S. High Command in London where her skill as an artist was put to work drawing maps of the damage from bombing raids on the continent.

She married Murray in 1947. As Linda Murray, she began teaching in London University’s department of extramural studies in 1949. Although she taught a variety of subjects, her medieval architecture classes and tours were especially popular. In 1952 she and her husband, now a lecturer at the Courtauld, channeled their pedagogical energies into two support works of art history, a translation, Classic Art: An Introduction to the Italian Renaissance, by Heinrich Wölfflin (q.v.), and the Dictionary of Art and Artists. The Dictionary established their collaborative working method: dividing the research and write up between them and then passing it to the other for revision. The Dictionary was an immediate success and pair became the most famous "art history couple" in the modern age...
