JEAN PREBBLE WAS A MISTRESS FOR 42 YEARS and THEN SHE MARRIED HIM!

DAILY MAIL - SCREENWRITER JOHN PREBBLE'S MISTRESS OF 42 YEARS, JEAN SPEAKS

'I was a secret mistress for 42 years': He was the only lover she ever had — and she never once asked him to leave his wife!"

"John was a wonderful companion. He was witty, erudite and romantic, and for almost half a century we shared a love affair that never waned in its intensity or lost its fervor.

I was John’s mistress for 42 years and his wife for six, and when he died of Parkinson’s disease in 2001, I became his widow. He was my only lover and I adored him, and if mistresses have a right to call themselves dignified, I hope I warrant the description.

I never asked John to leave his wife, neither did I feel a shred of resentment that he didn’t.
