==Biography==
Born George William Headley III, in Lynchburg, Virginia on January 8, 1908, to Louise and George Headley Jr., a wealthy family which moved to Mississippi soon after his birth.〔 He attended New Jersey preparatory school Lawrenceville School from 1924-1926. Artistically inclined from an early age, he studied art for one year in 1927 at the Art Students League of New York and then moved to France to attend the Parisian L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Académie Moderne, where he studied painting and planned to become an artist. In 1960, he married Barbara Whitney Henry Peck (died 1982), sister to Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney (died 1992), and daughter of sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (died 1942), founder of the Whitney Museum of American Art. After a nineteen-year career in New York and Los Angeles, he moved to his Lexington, Kentucky family farm ''La Belle'' in 1949, where he died in 1985, two years after his wife. With a second home in Palm Beach, Florida, the couple were well known as traveling and entertaining socialites. The La Belle grounds became the Headley-Whitney Museum.〔〔
