Lynn Barber

Lynn Barber (born 22 May 1944) is an English journalist who has worked for various publications and now writes for The Sunday Times.

Early life

Barber attended Lady Eleanor Holles School in south-west London. While she was studying for her A levels she had a two-year relationship with a significantly older man, whom she knew as Simon Goldman, but who also called himself Simon Prewalski. He was an associate of Peter Rachman, and he deceived both Barber and her parents. This affair subsequently provided the basis for a memoir by Barber and a film based on the memoir (see under Career below).

Barber read English Language and Literature at St Anne's College, Oxford, where she was briefly the girlfriend of the drug smuggler Howard Marks, but also met David Maurice Cloudesley Cardiff, whom she married in 1971. They had two daughters. Cardiff died in August 2003.

In 2010 listeners to Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 heard Barber say that she had slept with "probably 50 men" during two terms at Oxford: "It was quite good going. I was just jamming them in." she said.
