Her brother was Harold Lindsay Cathcart “Rollo” Woolley (1919-1942), Flying Officer of the RAF during World War II and killed in action over Tunisia.
[6] Woolley was a member of the circle of clerks and secretaries of Horizon: A Review of Literature and Art, founded and edited by Cyril Connolly during the World War II.
She also had relationships with Kenneth Sinclair-Loutit, Lucian Freud,[7] Ivan Moffat, Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy, Arthur Koestler, Alfred J. Ayer, Andrew Cavendish, 11th Duke of Devonshire, among others.
Her first daughter, Nicolette, was born during her relationship with Spanish Civil War veteran Kenneth Sinclair-Loutit, following the dissolution of her marriage to Humphrey Slater.
The baron, critic and philanthropist George Weidenfeld remembers her in his memoirs as “a wayward beauty who had been the Egeria to many remarkable men, some of whom she wed”.
[1] “A mysterious elusive woman… femme fatale (I suppose she must count as that, though I don’t think husbands or lovers ever bore her any grudge)”, said the poet Stephen Spender.
