John Profumo?Originally posted by Oerdin
Somebody needs to post about a famous "John" who got caught with a call girl.
" The wild-living Christine Keeler (pictured) had run away from home at the age of 16 and become a showgirl at Murray's cabaret club in Soho where, as she put it, she was employed "to walk around naked" -actually the showgirls wore very elaborate Cleopatra-style costumes with gold and feathers. This was where she had befriended another showgirl, Mandy Rice-Davies.
Keeler, a strikingly beautiful young woman, had also befriended Stephen Ward, a fashionable London osteopath who enjoyed sketching the rich and famous.
Ward introduced Keeler, then a feisty, but impressionable teenager, into a world which she had never before encountered, which was peopled with the rich and famous, aristocratic, charming and powerful men, all eager to meet her and take her out.
Through him, she lived the high-life, but her irresistible attraction for men would ultimately lead her down a dangerous path.
Difficult relations
Keeler cohabited with Ward platonically at his Wimpole Mews flat. And as well as a fondness for art, the urbane and well-connected doctor liked to surround himself with beautiful women, and to throw sex parties, which were attended by high-ranking and influential members of the establishment.
Keeler had a tempestuous relationship with Ward. She often ran away, but always came back and seems to have placed all her trust in him.
At Ward's trial in 1963, Keeler told the court: "We were like brother and sister. My life really used to revolve around Stephen. He had full control of my mind. I used to do more or less everything that he said. I thought I could never stand on my feet unless he was there and supporting me mentally." Ward courted the prominent and the powerful, and made friends easily - in fact, Roger Hollis, the then head of MI5, was said to be a frequent visitor to his flat.
Ward was also known for introducing women to men and there are lurid stories told of parties held at his home, involving two-way mirrors, sado-masochism and orgies.
The most infamous tale is that of the "man in the mask", a high-ranking member of the establishment, who served guests at Ward's dinner parties, naked, except for a mask and who ate his dinner from a dog bowl. Despite rumours he was a Cabinet minister, he has never been identified.
Friends and enemies
Keeler and Ward often spent weekends at a cottage belonging to one of Ward's friends, Lord Astor. It was at a party at Lord Astor's Cliveden country residence in Berkshire in 1961 that Keeler and Profumo first met.
According to Keeler, they flirted around the swimming pool and jokingly tried on suits of armour in the rooms of the mansion, but the War minister was smitten and the couple subsequently had a passionate affair.
Keeler often visited Profumo's home and his offices, but their affair was brief and would probably never have come to light were it not for a few complications in Keeler's love life - namely, that she had also slept with Ivanov, a solemn and patriotic Muscovite who was a spy. "
