SUSAN MARY "SHOE" TAYLOR's OBIT TELLS THE STORY OF A ROLLER COASTER RIDE LIFE

TELEGRAPH UK - OBITS - SUSAN MARY TAYLOR  She died in 2003 at the age of 58.  She was known as the long time mistress of Jonathan Guinness, who had become Lord Moyne.  She had three children with him.

EXCERPT :

Susan Mary Taylor (known as "Shoe") was born over her father's butcher's shop at Oldam, Lancashire, on July 26, 1944.  As a child, she helped out in the slaughterhouse: "The slaughterer slit the carcass down the middle, and pushed the steaming insides, or rops, towards me.  My Job was to pick the rops, pull each part away from the slime which holds it together, and put it in the rips bucket, separating the large intestines from the small, the stomach from the throttle." Meanwhile, her father told her "Don't forget the maggots"

LIDA BAAROVA on THE HELL OF JOSEPH GOBBELS

TELEGRAPH : GOEBBEL'S SCREEN GODDESS DIES by Louise Potterton, 

Excerpt: "I've torn up all my pictures of us.  Thanks to him I fell into the depths of hell," she said.  Friends said the two had enjoyed a passionate relationship, although the former actress prevaricated until the last: "Yes, Goebbels fell in love with me but I didn't love him.    .... "I was afraid of him and what he would do because I kept turning down his offers, although he always behaved charmingly and was always very nice to me.  I remember he once gave me aq gold brace.et for Christmas.  Hitler made a huge fuss about it.  He called Goebbels in and told him to drop me and return to his wife and children.  I couldn't take the pressure and I returned to Prague.  Goebbels never tried to contact me again."

Note:  What is not known by me is how much Lida revised her Goebbel's story as the years went by.
