Mister M Â Â 1,622 #4 Posted December 6, 2017 I remember going to see the film 'Scandal' in the late 1980s, with Joanne Whalley in the Christine Keeler role....Good film. Whenever I saw her interviewed on TV years after the event she always conducted herself with dignity, and wouldn't let stupid interviewers talk down to her. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Anna B Â Â 1,409 #6 Posted December 6, 2017 According to Radio 4, John Profumo had a long standing relationship with a woman who actually was a Russian spy. The Keeler story was considered the lesser of the two evils and so made it into the press to bring John Profumo down. Â Anyway, sad that Christine Keeler became the scape goat. May she rest in peace at last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
stpetre   12 #7 Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Never saw Scandal, is that the version with one of my favourite actors playing Stephen Ward, the late, great John Hurt?  Yes John Hurt, born in Chesterfield, also in 'The Elephant Man' but as CK's pal Mandy Rice-Davies' immortal statement in a court of law, 'He (stpetre) would say that wouldn't he ?'  ---------- Post added 06-12-2017 at 18:42 ----------  I remember going to see the film 'Scandal' in the late 1980s, with Joanne Whalley in the Christine Keeler role....Good film. Whenever I saw her interviewed on TV years after the event she always conducted herself with dignity, and wouldn't let stupid interviewers talk down to her. RIP  Yes, very good film. One of the cast of good actors was Roland Gift, lead singer of 'Fine Young Cannibals', he played a 'bad lad' in the film.

Mister M   1,622 #8 Posted December 6, 2017 According to Radio 4, John Profumo had a long standing relationship with a woman who actually was a Russian spy. The Keeler story was considered the lesser of the two evils and so made it into the press to bring John Profumo down. Anyway, sad that Christine Keeler became the scape goat. May she rest in peace at last.  I see that the Daily Mail occasionally kept her in the limelight by publishing unflattering pictures of her in her latter years, pulling a plastic shopping trolley behind her: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2401524/Former-model-Christine-Keeler-71-unrecognisable-50-years-Profumo-affair.html  Got to love the comments of the readers though; one of the best rated comments reads:  71 year old woman looks 50 years older than she did at 21 - amazing journalism - well done DM!
