Later Life

In the 1960s and 1970s, Plugge moved in a set that included Princess Margaret, her husband photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones, broadcaster Julian Pettifer and transsexual April Ashley.

His daughter Gale Ann, who had married and divorced Jonathan Benson, was in Trinidad with her partner, the American Black Power leader Hakim Jamal, when she was stabbed and buried alive in January 1972 by Michael X and his supporters, whom Jamal also followed. Her twin brother, Greville, died in a road accident in Morocco a year later.

The film Performance, starring Mick Jagger and James Fox, was filmed in Plugge's house in Lowndes Square. Plugge died in Los Angeles on 19 February 1981 at the age of 91.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Thus our life is not altogether a forgetting, but also, alas! to a great extent, a remembering, of that which we should never have been conscious of, certainly not in our waking hours.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I felt for my crime a just terror; I looked on my life with hate, and my passion with horror.
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)
