Carole Mallory

Carole Mallory (b. 1942) is an American actress and former model who appeared in the films "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" and The Stepford Wives (1975 film). She was a mistress of writer Norman Mailer and kept notes and writings of this time, selling them to Harvard University in 2008 after the writer's death.

Norman Mailer material

Mallory had a ten-year affair with Norman Mailer. Waiting until after Mailer's death in November 2007, she sold seven boxes of documents and photographs to Harvard University. They contain extracts of her letters, books and journals.

The papers were exchanged for an undisclosed amount, but Mailer, who died at 84, had sold his archives to the University of Texas for $US2.5 million ($2.6 million).

Personal life

As well as her affair with Mailer, who was 20 years older, Mallory also dated Warren Beatty, Peter Sellers, Richard Gere and Rod Stewart. She was once engaged to Claude Picasso, the son of Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot.
