This pint-sized nonagenarian hailed from Barri, Italy and was married to Lindsay Masters, one of the founders of Haymarket Publishing. A larger-than-life character, Marisa Masters once won a sports car in a raffle at Harrods and when presented with it replied: “What is a Porsche?” She gave the vehicle back soon after. Her views on the royal family were unprintable but when Michael Jackson came on the stereo, she was often to be found dancing on the table. She will be hugely missed by many.
