Jack Profumo

Cashed in his chips yesterday. He was a Cabinet minister in Harold MacMillan's government who was banging a showgirl, Christine Keeler, lwho was also banging the Soviet naval attache. The Profumo Affair brought down the Tory government in 1963 and he spent the rest of his life trying to forget it. Predictably, Keeler made the most of it, including posing for this photo in which the only thing she is wearing is the chair.

The movie "Scandal"(1989) was about the Profumo Affair.
