VALERIE HOBSON
Film heroine who stood by her husband in spy scandal
Postcard Photograph signed: "Sincerely/Valerie Hobson". B/w, 3½x5½.
British actress Valerie Hobson (1917-1998) made poor marriage choices, on and
off screen. She was The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and also of The
Werewolf of London (1936). She moved on to more sophisticated roles in
films like This Man is News (1938), Great Expectations (1946) and
The Rocking Horse Winner (1949) and Kind Hearts and Coronets
(1949, this time married to a serial killer in a comedy). In 1954 she retired
from acting to marry John Profumo, a rising star in Britain's Conservative
Party, subsequently Secretary of State for War in the Cabinet of Prime
Minister Harold MacMillan. In 1963, Profumo was forced to resign after
admitting he had lied to the House of Commons about his affair with glamorous
call girl Christine Keeler, who was also sharing the bed of Soviet attaché and
suspected spy Eugene "Honey Bear" Ivanov. Hobson stuck loyally by her
husband through the international scandal, which also enveloped Viscount
Astor, call girl Mandy Rice-Davies, nude photos of Keeler in the tabloids, and
the suicide of Dr. Stephen Ward, who had introduced the politicians to Keeler
and Rice-Davies. The sordid story was made into a 1989 film, Scandal.
