Lady Jeanne Campbell — obituary

The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 09/23/2007

Jackie Kennedy had “given the American people from this day on the one thing they always lacked — majesty”.

That's what we fought to get rid of during the Revolution.

"In 1964 Jeanne met the Beatles at the British Embassy in Washington and put her arm round Paul McCartney. “Which one are you?” she asked. “Roger McClusky the Fifth,” he answered, extricating himself from her grip."

Paul was a wise young man. She sounds like a female Bill Clinton. RIP, nonetheless.

Evidently Lady Jean was no lady...

I will rip the guts out of anyone that says something like, “What a wonderful lady, we will miss her .. thanx for the memories, Jeanne” and then demands absolute piety from Newt or Rudy or whomever.

...she was also the former wife of Norman Mailer, the daughter of the reprobate 11th Duke of Argyll...

So she basically passed from one reprobate to another?

Most women earn the title, while others must marry to acquire it. ;-)

......and Campbell’s gave us all the worst tomato soup on the planet.

We don’t need no stinking majesty, unless it is from purple mountains.

When she was to visit the oil baron J Paul Getty, Beaverbrook warned he was “rather priapic”. She did not understand, and he explained “ever ready”.

"Is that a derrick in your pants, Mr. Getty, or are you just happy to see me?"

I will rip the guts out of anyone that says something like, “What a wonderful lady, we will miss her .. thanx for the memories, Jeanne” and then demands absolute piety from Newt or Rudy or whomever.

When did she die? I thought it was months ago.

[LADY J]

Does anyone have a picture of her?

[AnAmericanMother]

Difference is, she never ran for public office.

So she was clearly a reprobate, but not on my dime.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Can’t seem to locate one. I found a pic of a woman with Norman Mailer, but it didn’t identify if it was Campbell.

[Tax-chick]

Never heard of her until now, but it sounds like she had a very interesting life. Her grandfather, Lord Beaverbrook, was the Willy Hearst of the British Empire, an amazing character.

I will offer my standard, “Oh, how sad!” regarding Lady Jeanne’s demise.

Comparing notes?

[freekitty]

Never heard of her.

“Most women earn the title, while others must marry to acquire it. ;-)”

With regard to the latter; the stink still follows them.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Not to mention the paper trail of penicillin prescriptions.
