Whom he was interested

Years before (годами раньше), Michael and Julia had often joked about the rich

old woman (Майкл и Джулия частенько шутили о богатой пожилой даме) who

would fall in love with him (которая влюбится в него) and set him up in

management (и поможет ему в открытии театра; to set smb. up in business —

помочь кому-либо устроиться, открыть дело). He had long since learnt (с тех

пор он давно усвоил: «выучил») that no rich old woman was to be found (что

никакая богатая пожилая дама не найдется) to set up in management a young

actor (/чтобы/ помочь в открытии театра молодому актеру) whose wife was an

actress (жена у которого была актрисой) to whom he was perfectly faithful (и

которой он был совершенно верен). In the end (в конце концов) the money was

found by a rich woman (деньги были найдены у богатой женщины), and not an

old one either (и не старой даже), but who was interested not in him but in Julia

(но которая была заинтересована не в нем, но в Джулии).
