Hey, tiptoes - what's the significance of celebrities and the number 4?

David Bailey. "David who"? Yup, who can forget those iconic adverts of the 1980s with the legendary photographer (who nobody had ever heard of until then) even though he did hobnob with the appalling Krays, where he promoted the Olympus Trip, then some other Olympus model (AF10?) followed by the Olympus Autofocus. Good old Arfur Daley was one of the hapless fall guys with his SLR rigmarole. A bit like those old boys with all their clobber down at Hydney Lake where I fish. But did Bailey really use those cameras bearing in mind they didn't have interchangeable lenses so he could zoom in sufficiently or get a wide enough angle when taking his shots, nor could he use filters to adapt light for the conditions? I've got doubts myself. Anyway he'll be celebrating his 35th anniversary this year on his 4th marriage so this one will probably go the distance. This bloke has vascular dementia and let rip with a foul mouthed rant, not untypical of these avant garde types www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/sep/11/photographer-david-bailey-reveals-he-has-vascular-dementiaPity the carers having to put up with this this crochety, self entitled ninkenpoop and his industrial invective when he ends up in a nursing home.

Kim Philby - The third man. Alcoholic, traiterous, commy spy who escaped to Moscow in 1963 as the net was tightening where he saw out his days at the mercy of the Soviet state.

Penelope Jackson murdered her 4th husband in cold blood and then rejoiced in this act over the telephone and on camera, while his body was still warm, which helped seal her fate. An utterly callous woman and equally stupid to express those views rather than feigning regret as a moment madness in the hope of a more lenient sentence. Previous relationships and family members do not portray this harridan in a favourable light. Not that her elderly spouse, an ex military man, was a repressed doormat nor any kind of saint as police had been summoned to the marital home at the behest of his wife ostensibly for domestic abuse. The biological daughter of the marriage also seems an obtuse type stating she's lost both parents. The loyalty and sympathy must surely lie with the deceased as there were no mitigating circumstances of self defence nor even remorse in the subsequent aftermath from the aggressor. As for idiotic womens charities thinking Mrs Jackson has been given the rough end of the stick, they seem to have the same tunnel vision of Lord Longford when he believed Myra Hindley's supposed redeeming traits were sufficient to free her from incarceration. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10135887/Wealthy-retired-accountant-guilty-murder.html

I don't think an assessment of someone else's marriage is straightforward, especially if you depend on the Daily Mail's account. And, anyway, this thread is supposed to be about 'celebrities'!

This is a repeated reference to the Daily Mail, the second most unreliable organ I know. And this thread (which you started) is about celebrities.
