Quite correct WZR.

And, if my memory is correct, worked with Mandy Rice Davies.
I believe both were implicated in the Profumo affair in the mid 1960's


I was in my teens then and, boy, I would have if I'd had the chance !grin!

They were both shagging the then Russian Naval Attache, whilst also
servicing, inter alia, Profumo and others of the Cliveden set. The
furore resulted from MI's fears of potential ministerial compromise, stoked
by good old-fashioned puritanical hyposcrisy from the media. Stephen
?Ward's suicide was one of the incidental subplots in this sorry tale.

Prof. to his lasting credit left public life completely and devoted himself to
anonymous charitable work, accepting a degree of personal accountability
for his actions which I cannot remotely imagine any of today's political class
espousing.

I remember a [much later] TV interview with CK- an intelligent and still
remarkably good-looking woman.
In a less-censorious age, and given better fortune, she could have had the
world at her feet.

If this had happened today Christine Keeler and Mandy RD would now be "earning" a nice living on the celebrity circuit.

You know, front page of OK and Hello, contestants on Celeb Big Brother, Get Me Out of Here etc.

How time change !!!!
