In the movie, Florence Pugh takes on the role of Jean Tatlock, a woman known to have been Oppenheimer’s lover before her early death in 1944.
Christopher Nolan’s anticipated movie “Oppenheimer” follows the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist credited with the development of the atomic bomb in the Manhattan Project during World War II.
Who was Jean Tatlock?Tatlock was born in 1914. Her father, John Tatlock, was an acclaimed professor of English medieval literature; her mother, Marjorie Feldman, had been one of his former students. She grew up moving between Cambridge and California, where her father was head of the English Department at Stanford.
In the book “Atomic Love,” authors offer up an explanation of their connection: “Much about Jean would have pleased Robert: Her Vassar/Harvard connections and New England pedigree; that she was fluent in French and a quick and critical thinker; that she was comfortable in academia and yet not in awe of it. She had a brother who was soon graduating from medical school at Harvard … she loved poetry, and was fascinated with the promise of psychotherapy.
Though Oppenheimer married Katherine “Kitty” Puening a few years later in 1940, he continued to visit Tatlock in San Francisco as late as 1943.
