No, the pic is from the sun website. In the paper they've got a little cut out of the painting that they say we can have for free. Those crazy bastards

It was owned by David Geffen.  He basically sold it for double what he paid for it.  It's rumored to have been bought by Russian mobsters looking to launder their money.

Ruth knew he was a terrible alcoholic and that he had fallen off the wagon and downed a bottle of vodka or whatever it was earlier that day.  She didn't have to get into the car with him.
