My Take
Valerie Hobson fascinates me precisely because history has remembered her for the wrong reasons. A capable British actress whose career ran from the 1930s into the early 1950s, she is now most often cited as the wife caught up in the 1963 Profumo affair, a scandal that was not of her making. There is something quietly unfair about a performer's own work being eclipsed by her husband's downfall. What draws me is less the gossip than her dignity through it; the woman who stood by John Profumo strikes me as more interesting than any headline ever allowed her to be.
