Title: Christine Keeler, sexy NUDE call girl [1963]
Photographer: Lewis Morley [Morley\'s 1963 portrait originally caused its own scandal.] • • • CHRISTINE KEELER • • •
• • Born in England on 22 February 1942, Christine Keeler is a British former model and showgirl. Her involvement with a British government minister discredited the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan in 1963, in what is known as the John Profumo Affair.
• • In July 1961, Ward introduced her to John Profumo, the British Secretary of State for War, at a pool party at Cliveden, the Buckinghamshire mansion owned by Lord Astor. John Profumo entered into an affair with Keeler, not realizing that she was also sleeping with Yevgeny Ivanov, a naval attaché at the embassy of the Soviet Union.
• • The affair was terminated by the government’s Cabinet Secretary, Sir Norman Brook, who spoke to John Profumo on the advice of Sir Roger Hollis, the head of MI5. On 9 August 1961, Profumo wrote to Keeler advising her he could no longer see her.
• • In the 1989 film about the Profumo Affair entitled Scandal, actress Joanne Whalley portrayed Keeler.

• • Lewis Morley\'s portrait of her was one of the most iconic of the 1960s.
• • At the height of the John Profumo Affair in 1963, Keeler sat for a portrait that became famous. The photo shoot, at a studio on the first floor of Peter Cook\'s Establishment Club, with Lewis Morley was to promote a film, The Keeler Affair, that was only distributed outside Great Britain. Keeler had previously signed a contract which required her to pose nude for publicity photos and she was reluctant to continue, but the film producers insisted, so Morley persuaded Keeler to sit astride a plywood chair such that whilst technically she would be nude, the back of the chair would obscure most of her body.
• • At the time, Lewis Morley and Christine Keeler were already famous, but the photo propelled the Arne Jacobsen model 3107 chair to stardom. However, the actual chair used was an imitation, with a hand-hold aperture cut out of the back to avoid making it an exact and infringing copy.
