I, Norma Levy

Product Information

Late beginner or not, she certainly made up for lost time and struck it rich after being taken on the books of Jean Horn, then the madam of choice for the rich and famous. Keir Starmer vows to ban trans 'conversion therapy' if he becomes PM despite fears parents and teachers.

Born in 1922, the son of the 5th Earl of Durham, Lambton was educated at Harrow and saw war service in the Hampshire Regiment. Following lengthy inquiries, the Mail traced her to an obscure, but comfortable, fifth floor apartment, in a tower block in Toronto, Canada, where - having lived under a series of aliases - she now styles herself Nora Russell, a version of her maiden name. She still managed to find time to keep her gardens specially manicured, her home meticulously beautiful and kept up with the escapades of the younger generations.

The ensuing scandal destroyed Lambton's career and his marriage, and Levy has, more or less, been fleeing ever since. However, a ruling of the Committee for Privileges said that he should not do so in the House of Commons, since he had renounced his peerage titles. As Norma's clientele grew, she logged their names, sexual preferences, and other relevant details, such as their preferred method of payment, in an A4 notebook.

The value of original Press Photos prints has been steadily increasing in value and is expected to to continue doing so.

She worked the telephones as the madam behind an East Coast prostitution ring, taking over when her fourth husband died in 1998. Was he — as some suggest — working for MI5, who might have wanted to expose Lambton’s use of prostitutes to remove him from the Department of Defence and warn off other misbehaving ministers? Just don't make me out to be a monster,' she says before proffering a strangely masculine handshake, and evaporating into the crowds thronging downtown Toronto in temperatures of minus 20c. Whether or not she knew she had a short time to live and was speaking to put the record straight, in her eyes at least, is anyone’s guess. She bought her own apartment in the most fashionable part of London, drove a sporty Mercedes and holidayed in the Seychelles.

Levy shunned the limelight by adopting various aliases, but an informant caused the loss of her lucrative US vice business.

Since the photos are old press photographs they may have scratches, lines, or other wears of time, which just underlines the authenticity and age of the photos. Love Island All Stars viewers praise Sophie Piper for 'snitching' on scheming Georgia Steel during secret flirty chat with Tom Clare: 'He's gonna tell the villa! Most of her 45 girls were brilliant undergraduates desperate for cash to pay hefty tuition fees at their Ivy League university, Princeton.Home and family were dearest to her heart, second only to her husband John, the love of her life, with whom she shared a lifetime of adventures and so lovingly cared for in his final years dealing with kidney failure. A security inquiry later concluded there had been “nothing in [Lambton’s] conduct to suggest that the risk of indiscretions on these occasions was other than negligible”. On about their fifth meeting, she reveals for the first time, he arranged for a handsome young male prostitute, aged about 20, to join them, and asked her to watch him have sex with the man. As her clientele grew, she logged their names, sexual preferences and method of payment in an A4 notebook. During the Seventies, Russell’s working alias had been Norma Levy, and as a convent-educated vice girl, she had been the femme fatale in a scandal that not only wrecked the careers of two Tory ministers, but almost brought down Edward Heath’s government.

Heath appointed him minister for the RAF in 1970 and although he had renounced his hereditary earldom to serve in the Commons, he insisted on being addressed as Lord Lambton. Also survived by her mother Marion Webb, her sister Marie (Jim), brothers Glen (Henrietta), Floyd (Jill), Gerald (Helen), several nieces and nephews and sister-in-law Margaret Benner. Perhaps her strangest patron was the late oil magnate Jean Paul Getty, who would require her to lie down in an open coffin and stay absolutely still for about 50 minutes while he gazed at her wearing only his underpants. She was an Instructor/lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania Law School from 1951 to 1952, from 1955 to 1956, and in 1971. There, she staggered from crisis to crisis, becoming a habitual cocaine user and alcoholic - 'I drank to forget' - and marrying disastrously three more times.

It was the era of The Beatles and mini-skirts, but she was not allowed to have a boyfriend and was banned from going out. The woman in the photograph is Norma Levy, her companion Lord Lambton, then the Under-Secretary for Defence, with responsibility for the RAF, in the Heath government. Convicted and heavily fined for living off immoral earnings (she had briefly managed Jean Horn's business, it emerged), she was also judged to have contravened the leasehold agreement of her apartment, which was duly confiscated. He combined his ministerial duties with visits to London’s high-end prostitutes, a habit he later blamed on the boredom of junior ministerial duties.
