Family
Keith married Pearl Rebuck in 1941 and their son Sir Brian Keith (born 14 April 1944) has been a High Court judge since 2001. He was the elder brother of fellow actor David Kossoff, whose son Paul Kossoff was guitarist with the rock band Free.
In the mid-1960s Keith's "wild" and beautiful teenaged daughter, Linda, became well connected culturally in the early days of "Swinging London". She was photographed by David Bailey and, together with Shiela Klein, partner of the Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Oldham, was at the heart of a bohemian community in London's West Hampstead. She formed relationships with Keith Richards of the Stones and, later in New York, Jimi Hendrix, but drifted into drug dependency. Richards appears to have been instrumental in Alan Keith's going out to America to find his daughter. On their return she was made a ward of court. She later brought up her own family and, in 2010, was living in New Orleans. According to Richards, Linda Keith was the subject of the song, "Ruby Tuesday" ("When you change with every new day/Still I'm gonna miss you").

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“When one family builds a wall, two families benefit from it.”
—Chinese proverb.
“In the capsule biography by which most of the people knew one another, I was understood to be an Air Force pilot whose family was wealthy and lived in the East, and I even added the detail that I had a broken marriage and drank to get over it.... I sometimes believed what I said and tried to take the cure in the very real sun of Desert D’Or with its cactus, its mountain, and the bright green foliage of its love and its money.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“True spoiling is nothing to do with what a child owns or with amount of attention he gets. he can have the major part of your income, living space and attention and not be spoiled, or he can have very little and be spoiled. It is not what he gets that is at issue. It is how and why he gets it. Spoiling is to do with the family balance of power.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
