Schwarzeneggers Estranged Wife Maria Shriver Erased From Former Governors Official Portrait
by Carlos E. Castañeda September 11, 2014 1:00 PM
SACRAMENTO (CBS SF) Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to have had an alteration to the official portrait unveiled in Sacramento earlier this week the removal of an image of his estranged wife Maria Shriver .Thursdays online San Francisco Chronicle Matier & Ross blog cites unnamed sources as saying the painting was done years ago and originally featured a lapel pin depicting Shriver.
The photograph-like portrait by Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein shows a visible smudge on the left lapel.According to the column, Helnwein told Barbara Gasser of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association there was one little interesting detail in the portrait which I cannot give away because I am not allowed to tell, but it was very important and meaningful to the governor.
A few months after Schwarzenegger left office in 2011, he and Shriver separated after 25 years of marriage. Days later it was revealed Schwarzenegger had fathered a son 14 years earlier during an ongoing affair he had with his household maid.
