Prostitute

The Resume

    (October 21, 1944-December 18, 2014)
    Birth name was Marilyn Rice-Davies
    Showgirl at Murray's Cabaret Club in London in the early 1960's
    Worked and lived with Christina Keeler, infamous for her simultaneous affairs with British politician John Profumo and Soviet diplomat/spy Yevgeny Ivanov in 1962
    Testified at Dr. Stephen Ward's trial for living on the earnings of prostitution in 1963

Why she might be annoying:

    Like Keeler, she may have worked as a prostitute for Ward, said to have procured girls for England's finest.
    Although she said she was involved with Ward's friend Lord Astor, he swore he had never met her.
    She didn't get along with Keeler despite their being presented as friends by the media.
    After the Profumo affair, she tried and failed to launch a singing career.

Why she might not be annoying:

    When told at Wards's trial that Lord Astor denied having slept with her, she famously quipped, ‘He would, wouldn't he?'
    She openly admitted she was getting paid for the time she spent with Ward's wealthy acquaintances.
    In her later years she founded several successful nightclubs and restaurants in Tel Aviv.
    Bridget Fonda's portrayal of her in ‘Scandal (1989)' was widely praised.
    She later became a grandmother.
