Earl Fenton: CIA Agent

[John Simkin]

I am producing a page on Earl Fenton and would appreciate any information you might have on him.

Christine Keeler met Earl Fenton, at a New Year party. Keeler claims that he was working for the CIA. According to Mandy Rice-Davies, Fenton was a screen-writer who introduced her to Robert Mitchum. The following month Fenton contacted Keeler. According to her account: "Stephen had been telling him lies, feeding him false information and indicating that I was spying for the Russians because of my love for Eugene. The message was to leave the country, say nothing about anything I might have seen or heard."

As you can see, Earl Fenton did very little work in Hollywood:

Earl was a real workaholic, the above is a testament to some pretty prolific work........facetiously speaking of course.

John, Is it true that without Saturnalia, there would be no Boxing Day?
