PEOPLE, Page 54Torrid ToriesBy Howard G. Chua-Eoan/Reported by Kathleen Brady
More than a quarter-century ago, CHRISTINE KEELER's
simultaneous liaisons with British War Minister John Profumo and
a Soviet spy brought down a Tory government. Now, as resurrected
in the movie Scandal, the Profumo affair is again the talk of
London. For its forthcoming U.S. release, Scandal and its orgy
scenes have been slapped with an X rating. In addition, Keeler's
famous nude-and-chair poses for the tabloids have been re-created,
first by Christine herself and then by actress JOANNE WHALLEY, who
stars as the party girl in the film. Says Whalley of Keeler:
"There's a bitterness there. Her life has never recovered." The
Tories, however, are back.
