Just a young girl when she was involved with the Profumo scandal. Out of her depth with no guidance or advice, and payed the price. Turned the corner and led a full life. R.I.P. Mandy.

"Yes i would"

Well put - she was only 16 at the time of Profumo. There's a BBC radio series on her life that's well worth a listen.

Mandy Rice-Davies was born in October 1944 and the Profumo scandal began in early 1963, so she would have been 18 then rather than 16.

I bet if that happened today the Establishment would be totally on it's knees RIP Mandy
I think she also campaigned for Steve Ward's conviction to be overturned. He was charged "with living of the girls immoral earnings" and during the trial fell ill and as a result was convicted in his absence.
