Mandy Rice-Davies was a Welsh model and showgirl best known for her association with the 1963 Profumo affair. The political scandal involved John Profumo, the Secretary of State for War, and his relationship with Christine Keeler, a friend of Rice-Davies. During the subsequent trial of Stephen Ward, her famous courtroom retort, 'Well he would, wouldn't he?', became an iconic phrase in British culture. After the affair, she capitalized on her notoriety to build a career as an actress, author, and businesswoman.
