Having tried and tested two Hollywood husbands, Elizabeth switched tactics for number three. She married stockbroker Peter Aitken in 1980, a cousin of a former boyfriend, but the pair went their separate ways just five years later. She reunited with the cousin, former Tory MP Jonathan, in the aftermath of their divorce. Now a born-again Christian and prison chaplain, their life together was altogether more peaceful, and their 2003 wedding had the blessing of all of their grown-up children.

Aside from her marriages, Elizabeth was known for her successful PR firm, as well as being a doting mother to her three sons, who would all go on to pursue careers in Hollywood (Jared Harris is a megastar like his father himself now, having starred in everything from Mad Men to Chernobyl).

In later life, she suffered a severe brain haemorrhage as well as two strokes, heart failure and two tumours. She died on 15 April, after a long illness, at the age of 85, and is survived by her three sons.
