Sheila Scotter

Sheila Winifred Gordon Scotter, AM, MBE (2 December 1920 – 6 April 2012) was an Australian businesswoman.

From the age of 4 she boarded at St Swithun's School, Winchester, England, and saw her parents only once every four years, although she had more frequent contact with her grandparents.

[3] After leaving school, Scotter entered the fashion world as a model, working for people such as Hardy Amies.

She married Geoffrey Batten-Pearce in London when she was 22 (he later had the marriage annulled),[6] and Alan Ford McIntyre in Melbourne when she was 31 (he was granted the divorce on the grounds of refusal of conjugal rights and desertion).

[7] However, Truscott was at the very least bisexual: after his death it was alleged he had a poor reputation amongst Melbourne’s rent boys.

[7] Sheila Scotter was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire on 13 June 1970 in recognition of her services to journalism and commerce.
