A lady that brightened up the 60's for us !

// you can tell by the hair and the eyes,//

can you ? my mother started off like Greta Garbo
Vy dont you leaf me alawn ? - not quite - she had four children
and ended up looking like Marie Curie
( no oscars or nobel prizes worse luck)

She (Christine K that is) played off - Johnny 'Darkie''Big Boy' One-fella against Gugu "Brain Dead" OtherGuy and wondered why she was on the news when one fired five shots into the other's door - and shouted "I am gonna come and get you". Johnny served five years in prison and forever insisted that it was racial and nothing to do with the shotgun and five cartridges

Christine Keeler about 5 years ago...
... wearing a wig I'd say.

She may have been on medication, rather than "let herself go". A lot happens over the years to change people.

Can't we leave this poor woman alone. She was over 70 years old when she died....how many of look as good at 70, as we did in our teens ?

I've checked around Mikey, the dead don't care.

Comment of whatever kind is the price of celebrity.

I am sure Ms. Keeler would have enjoyed 'celebrity', which may have brought her some money and support in her old age.

What she got though, was notoriety, which is sadly not the same thing at all.

Reading another article about Ms Keeler I came across this limerick (I can't remember it at the time at all - maybe I was reading the wrong newspapers):

"Oh what have you done?" said Christine.
"You have ruined the party machine.
To lie in the nude
May be terribly rude
But to lie in the House is obscene."

Anybody know its provenance?
