My Take
Christine Keeler's life leaves me feeling more sorrow than scandal. An English model and showgirl from Uxbridge, she was thrust into the center of the 1960s Profumo affair, entangled at the height of the Cold War with both a married British minister and a Soviet naval attache, in a way that shook the government. Yet the person most damaged by that storm was surely the young woman herself, used and discarded by powerful men and a hungry press. Her later autobiographies, attempts to reclaim her own narrative, earn my respect. She died in 2017. We should remember her as a cautionary tale about how women get consumed by history.
