Margaret Campbell Career

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Campbell was the leading lady of the Bramhall Players. She appeared on Broadway in Lightnin' (1918), Keeping Up Appearances (1918), The Silent Assertion (1917), Difference in Gods (1917), Keeping Up Appearances (1916), The Merchant of Venice (1913), Hamlet (1912), and Kassa (1909).

He was also suspected of having bludgeoned to death a Russian dancer, Anya Sosoyeva, as well as having assaulted the young actress Delia Bogard, who survived. He was later cleared of those attacks when the actual murderer was captured by the Los Angeles police force. Both attacks occurred on the Los Angeles City College campus.

The Duchess of Argyll's 'headless man' seen in scandalous divorce case picture was 'almost certainly' Tory minister Duncan Sandys, historian says as documentary explores the drama

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 8, 2024
In a 1963 court hearing, Margaret Campbell was accused by her alcoholic, gambler husband, the 11th Duke of Argyll (couple shown right), of taking 88 lovers. In the damning judgement that resulted, the Duchess was described by the judge as a 'completely promiscuous woman' who had indulged in 'disgusting sexual activities' and whose attitude to marriage was 'wholly immoral'. The Duke also revealed a series of photographs that showed his soon-to-be former wife naked and cavorting with other men. One of them, allegedly taken in 1956, showed her performing oral sex on a man whose face was not shown. He quickly became known as the 'headless man' but was never identified. Sandys (inset), the then defence minister, was among the five men who were touted as being the possible lover. Now, as a Channel 5 TV documentary explores her life and the divorce case that scandalised the nation, historian Christopher Wilson has told MailOnline that he is convinced Sandys was the headless man. 'I think it was almost certainly Duncan. He offered to resign from the cabinet. That tells you it was him,' he said.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Margaret, Duchess of Argyll's daughter, who was a protagonist in A Very British Scandal, has died at the age of 86, bringing her secrets and fears of the past

RICHARD EDEN: Those who remembered the late Frances, Duchess of Rutland, point out that Margaret Campbell's divorce from the Duke of Argyll dominated her life, just five years after she own wedding. Margaret and her brother, Brian, a descendant of Margaret Sweeny's first marriage to American stockbroker Charles Sweeny, have advised her not to appeal charges brought against her by her second husband, the 11th Duke. But Margaret, who was immortalized in a Cole Porter song, had a good time but was unable to win.
