If I were going to fix a result, I'd do it with the most unpopular one, the one who wouldn't get much of an outcry from the public. As this thread shows, no-one has too much love for Clifford, no-one is going to be claiming there's been a miscarrige of justice. The easy target.

I don't actually believe he was nobbled, just musing over the things that lead to the birth of such conspiracy theories.

Juries have been knobbled in the past by villains to get their mates off, I'm sure it would be easy for a government to fix things.

As above, I don't believe it happened, just that the circumstances support a good conspiracy theory!

Before his arrest and trial yes. They may have some vague inkling of his name but he was hardly a household name.

Don't try and put your daughter on the stage Mrs Worthington!!!!


I wonder if historicaly actresses like Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe and many many others could have taken the heads of Hollywood Studios to court on charges of sexual assult.

Back in the day, (an expression very much overused now), it seemed that both well known and aspiring actresses had to submit to the casting couch, if you sleep with a producer, a director or a studio exec you could stand a good chance of getting a part in a film. what on earth would a quick office fumble with Max Clifford get you, at the most page 3 in the Sun (and don't get me started on Rupert Murdoch, another first class shit).

I am not for one moment am l belittling what he did but a pound to a pinch of snuff if after assulting these girls had he had placed them in films, theatre or television would we have ever heard from about these assults.

This man was an opportunist sexual assaulter.

That's because she was "a bit of an ugly duckling" with a fat arse. So not much chance of sexual favours wanted there...

Not unless they wanted to lose their contracts...

Not just actresses... I can think of one well-known actor who got his start in the business as Rock Hudson's tomboy.

I thought he did get one of the women a part in a Bond film.
