Elisabeth Lutyens (1906-83)
Part Four
Over the years, the press took every chance to dig its claws into Lutyens. As the daughter of a famous architect with a profligate lifestyle and radical musical style, she was a gift to any imaginative journalist. Donald Macleod re-evaluates the brickbats hurled over the decades and discovers how Lutyens often turned them to her advantage.
