Lady Jeanne Campbell

Campbell was the daughter of Ian Douglas Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll (1903–1973) and his first wife, the Hon. Janet Gladys Aitken (1908–1988), whose own father was Max Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook. After their divorce in 1934, her father remarried three times, including to Margaret, Duchess of Argyll. Her father inherited the dukedom from his first cousin once removed, Niall Diarmid Campbell, 10th Duke of Argyll upon his death in 1949. Her mother remarried to the Hon. Drogo Montagu (1908–1940), the second son of George Montagu, 9th Earl of Sandwich, who died during World War II. ==Career==

In the 1950s and 1960s, Campbell went to New York City, where she became a foreign correspondent for the Evening Standard, which was owned by her grandfather, Lord Beaverbrook. In January 1974, her half-brother, Ian Campbell, 12th Duke of Argyll, set up the Clan Campbell Society of the United States in New York City. She was appointed by him to serve as the Society's High Commissioner, which, essentially, was the personal representative of the head of the Campbell Clan in the United States. ==Personal life==

Campbell was twice married and known for her many lovers. She was first married to the American writer Norman Mailer (1923–2007) in 1962. He described her as "a remarkable girl, almost as interesting, complex and Machiavellian" as himself. Gore Vidal asked her why she became involved with Mailer and she replied "Because I never slept with a Jew before." they were the parents of Kate Mailer (b. 1962), who is a writer and an actress. In 1967, she married her second husband, John Sergeant Cram III (1932–2007), a grandson of John Sergeant Cram and Anthony Joseph Drexel Jr., and great-grandson of railroad tycoon Jay Gould. They divorced in 1968 after becoming the parents of Cusi Cram (b. 1967), who is also an actress, a Herrick-prize-winning playwright, and an Emmy-nominated writer for the children's animated television program, Arthur. However, it was later revealed that Cusi was not Cram's daughter, but, in fact, the daughter of a Bolivian ambassador to the United Nations. Her funeral was held at St. Joseph's Church on 6th Avenue in New York City. ==In popular culture==

Campbell was the basis for "the bitch" in Norman Mailer's 1965 novel, An American Dream. In the 2021 mini-series A Very British Scandal, she was played by Albertine Kotting McMillan. ==References==
