Tatyana was born at the Tolstoy Foundation, Valley Cottage, Rockland County, New York in a private apartment, to a member of the Princess Vera Constantinovna dynasty
Unfortunate Tatyana’s mother was not married to the Grand Duke and therefore her allowance and schooling stopped when she was 18.
She left New York with few prospects and moved to Chicago, where she took refuge at an all women’s community of aviation engineers.
It was at this time she joined the Aviation Training Enterprises (A.T.E.) Flying school, with her aim to become a commercial airline pilot.
Unfortunately, it was also at this time she was dating Joe Dallesandro and consequently fell in with Andy Warhol and The Factory, and due to her appearing in two of his Films, Tatyana’s drug use became public, therefore ending her time at the Flying school.
For the next 10 years, she took on an itinerant lifestyle, she popped up in Canada as an ‘entertainer’ at a remote logging Community called Stompers Thrush, and there were reports of her crossing into Russia via the Bering Strait with the help of her lobster fisherman lover, Griff Davies, a Welsh ex miner, although she has never confirmed or denied this, and simply says wistfully when I asked “Ahh, Siberia!
She became a joint owner of a boarding house/bar in Shanghai, but her business partner, a large uncouth Spanish woman missing an ear, lost the business to an opium drug lord in an ill advised cock fight bet.
Tatyana then worked numerous menial and degrading jobs, but eventually her luck changed and she started working for a small Chinese airline, Wo Cao Air, as their only Caucasian air hostess.
It was not long after joining Wo Cao Air that she changed her name from Romanoff to Romanov, and successfully joined TWA on the London to New York route.
Unfortunately yet again another scandal culminated with her hastily leaving America. Due to Americas capricious libel laws we cannot comment on rumours that she bore the child of an American president.
Tatyana eventually became a regular face on the London high society scene, and she seems to have been independently financially secure, to the degree that she was able to enroll her beautiful twin daughters, Juno and Lyra, into a very exclusive Swiss private school for girls.
Tatyana never stays in one place for very long and travels the world, helping others and herself.
She is the second cousin once removed of Regina Fong, it is not known if they ever met.
Tatyana has a morbid fear of American Beavers.
