Early life Lady Anne Lambton was born on 4 July 1954, the fourth of six children of Antony Lambton, formerly 6th Earl of Durham, and his wife, Bindy (née Blew-Jones). In 1973, her father resigned from the government after photographs of him with prostitutes were published.

Career

Andy Warhol and the Factory In 1975, Lambton moved temporarily to New York City, where she worked as a secretary at the Factory, the studio of Pop artist Andy Warhol. That autumn, she accompanied Warhol on his promotional tour of the United States for his book The Philosophy of Andy Warhol. During the tour, she also served as Warhol's bodyguard.

In Washington, D.C., Warhol and Lambton attended a reception at the home of Peter J. Malatesta, a former aide to Vice President Spiro Agnew, where Warhol was the guest of honor. At the party, the two were interviewed by Lloyd Dobyns for the NBC program Weekend. Warhol told the press that he had come to London "because of my girlfriend Anne Lambton." Lambton and her sister broadcaster Lady Lucinda Lambton and Lady Beatrix Neville subsequently sought a share of their father's estate. They contested to have the dispute heard in Italy, where they argued that succession law entitled the children to equal shares of a family estate. In May 2013, their brother initiated proceedings in the High Court in an attempt to have the dispute heard in England rather than Italy.
