Judy Huxtable
Judy Huxtable (born 1942) is a British actress.
Early life and career
Born in Kent, England, to wealthy parents, Huxtable was initially a society débutante and then became a fashionable figure in 1960s "swinging London" and, as a model, was represented by the William Morris Agency. She was the face of Bacardi rum and Fry’s Chocolate.
Huxtable's film appearances include Les Bicyclettes de Belsize (1968), the cult film The Touchables (1968), and several horror films.
Personal life
Huxtable was associated romantically with Terence Stamp, Richard Branson and Warren Beatty.[1]
Huxtable was first married to Irish theatre designer Sean Kenny, but later divorced him. In 1973 she became the second wife of the satirist Peter Cook and appeared with him on the 1977 Godley & Creme concept album Consequences, together with a brief appearance in his 1979 comedy film Derek and Clive Get the Horn, co-starring Dudley Moore. They were divorced in 1989, due to Cook's drinking, after many years of amicable separation.
In 2008 she published an autobiography, Loving Peter, in which she described her relationship with Cook and living with his alcoholism, which mirrored her experiences with her own mother.[2] Huxtable published the book under her married name of Judy Cook.
