| biography:
| Model and showgirl, born in Wales, UK. After leaving school, she worked in a department store, did some modelling, then moved to London, becoming a showgirl at Murray's Cabaret Club. Here she met and became close to Christine Keeler and, through the osteopath Stephen Ward, was introduced to influential London society. As a witness at Ward's trial for living off the immoral earnings of Keeler and Rice-Davies, in reply to a suggestion that Lord Astor denied knowing her, she gave the celebrated retort: ‘He would, wouldn't he?’ After the trial she moved to Israel, where she established two night clubs, then published an autobiography, and returned to live in London. |
