On a weekend in July 1961, the British Secretary of State for War, John Profumo, took his wife to a pool party, and suddenly a lovely girl full of youth and vigor came out of the pool naked, which was a fatal temptation for everyone present, and Profumo was no exception.
The moment he decided to talk to the girl, he could not have imagined that this was a wonderful "encounter" that would end his entire political career.
This young, innocent, and deadly girl is Christine Keeler.
Originally a poor girl, but with her beauty and perfect body, she became a famous socialite in the British high society, making countless men fall under her skirt, and even stirring up the whole British political scene.
Christine Keeler was born in 1942 in a small town in England. Childhood is very unfortunate, because at that time in the war period of World War II, her father could not endure the torment of the war, directly to his wife and daughter abandoned, he left home alone.
One can only imagine how hard it was for her mother and daughter to live without her husband during the war years, and Kristin struggled with her mother.
In the end, there was no choice but to remarry her mother in order to improve her life.
However, the happiness that her mother and Christine had hoped for did not come either, as her stepfather was not only a poor man, but also not a good man, and he was addicted to alcohol.
With no steady source of income, the family lives in a converted railroad car.
The family's poverty doesn't kill Kristin, but it's her stepfather's eyes that really scare her.
Even though she was thin and bony because she couldn't keep up with her nutrition, Kristen couldn't stop her stepfather from harassing her, and if she resisted, she was beaten.
This left Kristin feeling desperate, but at a young age, there was nothing she could do to change the situation. It wasn't until she was 15 that Christine finally found the courage to run away from her home.
Taking advantage of a break from school, Kristen took her years of savings and ran away from her stepfather to find her happiness.
She longs to have a happy life, hoping to live a life of sound and lights like the upper class.
After escaping from her home, with her pretty appearance and perfect body, Christine soon finds a job as a model in a clothing store.
This job gave her hope and renewed her faith in life. Originally, she was working and looking forward to a better future, and if she hadn't fallen in love, she might have been able to live a cozy life as a husband and mother.
But reality has abandoned her. When Christine was working as a clothing model, she met a black American officer by chance, and she was insecure about this American officer, and fell in love with him.
The two spent a wonderful time together. However, not long after, Christine realized that she was pregnant, and she told her lover the good news, thinking that he would be very happy and would have a warm and happy family of three.
What she didn't expect was that one early morning, this officer directly abandoned her and the baby in her belly, just like her own father at the beginning, and left without even saying hello.
Kristin then realized that the original man did not want to marry her, not to mention that he did not want to give her a home, although there is no man, Kristin still insisted on giving birth to the child.
But after the child was born, because there is no extra money to give the child supplemental nutrition, this only six days after the birth of the baby went to heaven, which let Christine once broke down and cried.
Even with this tragedy, life goes on. After being abandoned and losing her son, Kristin decided to join her companions in the bustling metropolis of London, where she decided to make her own way.
It's not easy for a young girl with no skills to make a living in the bustling metropolis of London.
Without a good education or talent, Kristin started out working as a waitress in a restaurant, but it wasn't the life she wanted.
On the advice of a friend, she began to capitalize on her exceptional beauty, hoping that her youthful good looks would give her a chance to become a member of the upper echelons of society.
The first time I've ever seen a woman with a face like this, I've seen her in the middle of the night.
Christine, who is already young and beautiful and exudes youthful vigor, was accidentally spotted by the club's owner. Under systematic training, Christine performed on stage, and with her beauty, she quickly won the hearts of all the guests, and gradually grew into an outstanding socialite.
This kind of intoxicated life is the "good life" that Kristen has been dreaming of. Just as Kristen is enjoying this life of being courted by men, she meets the man who will change her life, Stephen Ward, at work.
Stephen was a very famous doctor in the UK at the time, and his own social status was very high, and he kept very close contact with politicians and business leaders, his guests were rich and famous.
When he sees Christine at the club, Stephen is y attracted by her youthful beauty, and soon launches a campaign against the club's head honcho, asking her out for drinks on a frequent basis and taking her to all kinds of high-class events.
Under Stephen's leadership, Kristin also had access to some of the most prominent figures in the upper class.
Why would Stephen bring a dancer to a high-class cocktail party? Was it just his love for Christine? Of course not!
Why would Stephen bring a dancer to a high-class cocktail party?
When he first chose to date Christine, he was indeed attracted by her extraordinary beauty, but Stephen's purpose was not just to spend the night with a beautiful woman, his ultimate goal was to let Christine reach out to those upper-class bigwigs, and to use her beauty to become their mistress, so that he could get more money from it.
For Stephen's purpose, Christine is not at all unaware of it, but the spring and luxury life in front of her has made it difficult for Christine to pull herself out of it, and similarly, in Stephen's matchmaking, Christine has already jumped out of the previous image of a poor woman, and wears gorgeous clothes in and out of all kinds of high-class banquets.
For Kristin, she also hopes to meet more people in the upper class through Stephen, and ultimately realize her own purpose in the upper class society, and she enjoys this kind of drunken life too much!
In this way, Stephen and Christine work together, each with their own goals and intentions. In the face of the power and wealth in front of them, Christine is also to make every effort to climb them, you can imagine, a young and beautiful, hot body of the beautiful woman to throw themselves in the arms of anyone who can not resist this kind of temptation!
Stephen and Kristen's plan worked, and in a very short time, Kristen developed a lover's relationship with these powerful people.
For Kristen's identity, those powerful people naturally know very well, so no one will recognize the relationship with her, which also allows Kristen to be able to surrounded by multiple men at the same time, the men enjoy the fun, and Kristen enjoys the luxury of money and vanity.
But there is no such thing as an impermeable wall, especially for the rich and powerful, and it's easy to get caught in the act if you make a mistake.
In 1963, a scandal broke out in British politics, and the heroine of the scandal was Christine.
The hero of the scandal was Britain's Secretary of State for War, Profumo, and if it was just about Christine's inappropriate relationship with Profumo, it wouldn't have made such a huge splash.
The reason the scandal stirred up the entire British political scene was because Christine was in a relationship with Profumo at the same time as she was in an illicit relationship with the Soviet ambassador, Ivanov, and that was a big deal.
The scandal was so shocking that Christine was jailed.
Back in 1961, Kristen attended a high-society party with Stephen. It was a party to which a number of political celebrities were invited, including Profumo, who was the Secretary of State for War.
Professor Proudfoot was a prominent figure in British politics at the time, having studied at Oxford University, and having made a name for himself in the Second World War, he joined the Cabinet at the age of 45, taking up a key position.
The presence of Profumo surprised everyone on the scene, and they all started thinking of ways to flatter the political heavyweight. Stephen was naturally no exception, and Christine was fascinated by the dignitary in front of her.
Profumo had brought his wife, famous actress Valeria Hobson, along to the party, but even so, Kristen staged a skinny-dip in order to catch Profumo's eye.
When she stepped out of the pool naked, Profumo's eyes never looked away from her, and her every move touched the hearts of every man in the room.
And Kristen went straight to her "prey", Profumo, in the face of such a beautiful thing to throw themselves in the arms, Profumo naturally can not resist the temptation, one and two, Kristen and Profumo developed into a lover relationship.
In fact, in Profumo's eyes, he and Kristen are only what they need, and he describes Kristen in this way, " Kristen is just a woman who loves to put on make-up and do her hair, and she doesn't have any knowledge or education apart from her beauty. "
What he didn't know was that it was this beauty-loving woman who would pull him into the abyss two years later, ending his political career.
Profumo could never have dreamed that during her time as his lover, Christine was also having an affair with Eugene Ivanov, a naval attaché at the then-Soviet embassy in the UK, who was later confirmed to be a Soviet spy.
It is important to know that during World War II, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, as two alliances, is an antagonistic amount of relations, Ivanov was confirmed to be a spy, and he enjoyed a mistress with Plovimo ****, which involves the relationship is not clear.
In fact, long before the scandal broke, Britain's national security service launched an investigation into Profumo's private life and warned him to stay away from Kristen and Stephen. Warned, Profumo knew better and stopped obsessing over Kristen and broke off his relationship with her for good.
Although Kristen was sorry to lose Prokofievna, it didn't stop her from moving on with her life she continued to move between men on a daily basis, but it was this behavior that sent her spiraling into the depths of the abyss.
Two of Kristen's suitors were jealous of Kristen, which led to a shooting that alerted the police. After the investigation, Christine's past was completely exposed, and one by one, the characters who had close contact with her were exposed, including Profumo, who was a British dignitary, and Ivanov, a Soviet spy.
And so what started out as a common case of jealousy eventually led to a scandal that shook the entire British political scene!
At first, Profumo tried hard to deny that he had an illicit relationship with Kristen, but he couldn't resist the police's heavy investigation, and he confessed that he had a fling with Kristen.
And Kristen, as the female lead, also confessed to the love triangle, after being hounded by a slew of media outlets.
June 5, 1963, forced by the public pressure of Profumo was forced to resign, along with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time, Macmillan, also because of this incident was implicated, was angry at the deterioration of the condition, a month after the Prime Minister also resigned.
Christine was also sentenced to nine months in prison for perjury, even though she wasn't involved in the spy case.
And Stephen, who single-handedly brought her into the socialite world, was taken to court for organizing prostitution, and on the eve of the outcome of the court's verdict, knowing there was no turning back, eventually took a large amount of sleeping pills in prison and left the world with all his secrets.
As glamorous as he once was, Christian was a mess when he got out of prison.
After nine months in prison, Kristen lost her job and became destitute after she came out of prison. She was devastated inside the prison, and she no longer has a glamorous appearance or the opportunity to make contact with the upper echelons.
Because of their own scandals were exposed, the community has been aware of her existence, but also recognized her face, Christine in the process of seeking employment, all people are afraid to hire her, and no one dares to help her, Christine in the United Kingdom has just become a "street rat", and everyone is afraid to do so.
Because of her existence, so that the entire British political world for the turmoil, stirred up the British political landscape, the whole of the United Kingdom caused unavoidable harm, Christine got only the whole of the British people's abuse and accusations.
Because there is no source of livelihood, Christine knows that she can no longer live in the UK on her own. In order to make ends meet, she got married in an attempt to make herself comfortable.
Christine had two marriages and two children. She thought that having a family would allow her to live a normal life, but her sins were so deep that life didn't let her go.
When her children grew up, they learned about their mother's misdeeds from others, and because they felt so ashamed of their mother and disgusted with Christine, they cut her off.
A woman, her husband does not love her, the child also want to cut off their relationship, things have come to a point, Christine can only shed tears of remorse, miserable the rest of their lives.
Until 2013, once in the upper class society of the famous flower Christine, again appeared in the field of vision, at this time she has been life has been worn out angular, her body is no longer delicate, replaced by a bloated body.
The beautiful face is also covered with the traces of years, become vicissitude incomparable, in dress, Christine is like a down and out of the big mom general, random set of a loose clothes on the way out.
At this point, even if she walks on the street, no one can recognize her as the beautiful flower, and no one can think of this old age in front of the old lady, once stirred up the whole British political scene.
For Christine, her life has been a tragedy. In her childhood, she was abandoned by her biological father, harassed by her stepfather, and then abandoned by her first lover after she managed to escape from her stepfather's clutches, a succession of abandonments that left her completely degraded and reduced her to a socialite.
Although she became a famous socialite in the upper class by virtue of her beauty, her life of intoxication only made her a tool for enlisting the powerful and the rich, which was like a mirage for her, and she was eventually sent to jail and spent the rest of her life in misery.
If Kristen hadn't been abandoned by her father, if she had met a good man, she might have had a different life!
