After dozens of failed attempts, Headley decided she needed to revise her dating strategy. So, she embarked on "The Year of Yes," vowing to go out with every person who asked her.

The paintings had been confiscated by the Nazis in 1938 from Bloch-Bauer's wealthy, art-collecting Jewish family and then handed over to the Austrian government after the war. For years, Maria Altmann, 89, the niece of Adele Bloch-Bauer, has sought to reclaim them.
