In 1975, Pinter left his actress wife Vivien Merchant, and Lady A. Lady Antonia is legendary for her refusal to answer questions either about her husband or about the highly publicized scandal that preceded their marriage. "Something he's always wanted to do."Īnd that's all about Harold. "He's going to act every part himself," his wife explains. He's here to read from his plays at the 92nd Street Y. Her husband, playwright Harold Pinter, moves quickly through the room as if in fear of attracting a stray question or two. Her impeccable manners make the impersonal surroundings welcoming. In her hotel suite ("So much more luxurious than our home"), she is charming and controlled. The 52-year-old Lady Antonia is not, to put it mildly, a weak vessel. She is in this country to promote "The Weaker Vessel," her fifth major work of history, which recounts the intimate daily lives of women in 17th-century England. They all did it." Lady Antonia knows whereof she speaks. "I'd have been as dead as a doornail in the 17th century," says Lady Antonia Fraser cheerily, reflecting on the difficult birth of her fifth child.
