On the grapevine: Will the colourful past of an industrialist's wife come to haunt her, post film's release?

Oh to leave the past just where it is back in the cobwebbed confines of a few minds. The wife of an industrialist has kept a dignified distance from her colourful past since tying the knot, never commenting on old liaisons and keeping a low profile.

But a new biographical movie on a wild child star has sent alarm bells ringing. It's being whispered that the director got a phone call from the lady, checking whether she was part of the actor's tell-all film and if she could be dropped out of it altogether. The director, it's said, got back to the writing board and has now created one character out of a clutch of famous women that the star was linked with, back in the day. Who's who? Now that's what everyone, including the women in question, are waiting to see once the movie hits theatres.
