Terry Keane

Terry Keane (1939 – 31 May 2008), born in Guildford, England, was an Irish social columnist and fashion journalist.

Born Ann Teresa O'Donnell in Guildford, Surrey, UK in 1939, Keane studied medicine at Trinity College, Dublin.

She dropped out without taking a degree and later married a young barrister, Ronan Keane.

Keane left the paper on bad terms after selling the story of her 27-year affair with former Taoiseach Charles Haughey to the British newspaper The Sunday Times,[1] a rival to the affiliated London Independent newspapers, though she admitted her affair on The Late Late Show in 1999.

Keane's death on 31 May 2008 after a long illness was announced by her son-in-law, media gardener Diarmuid Gavin.
