Mamy....if you read her life story, you will see that her misfortune started long before Profumo.

I know about her but thank you.

[Baldric]

Precocious child of the 60's were you Mikey, a child by my reckoning, 6 to 16,

[Barmaid]

I am sure her friend Mandy would say something along the lines of "Well she did, didnt she". RIP.

[tonyav]

quite a life.
She sure did have quite a life.

RIP Christine.

RIP, Ms Keeler.

I remember the scandal and the film of that name starring the lovely John Hurt (RIP) as Dr Stephen Ward.

I remember my Mum and Dad being much interested in the whole affair....little boys were very good at listening to sotto voce conversations at the tea table !

Now that makes me feel old! R.I.P. to a lady who lived her life.

If anything is a sign of how things have changed, the differing attitudes to politicians' bad behaviour - and their atonement for it - is contrasted sharply between then and now.

Judge? !!!

[emmie]

saw that yesterday, strange to think of her as old, as we are always shown her photos in her heyday.

[douglas9401]

It's a fair enough question that New Judge puts, gulliver1.

Specifically the section marked 'Trials'.

model ? NJ

ay class moh-dell and not a prozzie
we all have images to portray of ourselves

I never thought she was more than a tart who kissed and told and told and told .....
and was a bad chooser of frenz - one of her boy frenz went after someone with a shot gun and did time for it. Even in the fifties that isnt keep-your-head=down-and mouth-shut stuff

[Prudie]

I only really knew about this after the event from parents and the papers. According to my mum she was a high-class 'call girl'. There's a term you don't hear much these days.

// little boys were very good at listening to sotto voce conversations at the tea table !// mikey
and little gurlz too hur hur hur

we had more of the view - adults had younger friends who didnt keep their mouths shut and what did the adults expcect for chrissakes

she was quite good over 50 y in portraying herself as a victim
much better than Mandy R D or Pamela Bordes or Antonia Sanchez - who came over as aging tarts who needed intgerview money

[tamborine]

A pretty girl led astray by lusty men - they would wouldnt they?

RIP
