"Actress, Poet, Socialite. A noted beauty and performer in her youth, she was later a respected author. Born to wealth and privilege, she was raised initially on a Wiltshire estate though her aristocratic father David Tennant allowed the too-attractive-for-her-own-good Pauline to rub elbows with many noted personalities of the day at his Soho nightspot, The Gargoyle Club" (findagrave).
Pauline Laetitia Tennant's birth was registered in Marylebone in the second quarter of 1929[1], but it appears to have been a late registration, and her actual birth was on 6 February 1927.
She was married three times, to Julian Pitt-Rivers (1946–53); Euan Douglas Graham, grandson of the fifth Duke of Montrose (from 1954); and then Sir Anthony Rumbold (1974–83). [2]
Pauline died in Dorchester, Dorset on 6 December 2008, and was buried in St Michael's Churchyard, Stinsford, Dorset[3].
