=== Morley portrait === <!-- Linked from redirect [[Morley portrait]] --> [[File:CKeeler1.jpg|thumb|[[Lewis Morley]]'s photographic portrait of Keeler astride an imitation [[Model 3107 chair|Arne Jacobsen chair]], 1963]] At the height of the Profumo affair in 1963, Keeler sat for a photographic portrait by [[Lewis Morley]]. The photoshoot, at a studio on the first floor of [[Peter Cook]]'s [[Establishment Club]], with Morley was to promote a proposed film, ''[[The Keeler Affair]]'', that was never released in the United Kingdom. Keeler was reluctant to pose in the nude, but the film producers insisted. Morley persuaded Keeler to sit astride a plywood chair so that, while technically nude, the back of the chair would obscure most of her body. Keeler told cartoon historian Tim Benson in 2007 that she was not nude and was wearing knickers during the entire photoshoot.<ref name="chair">{{cite web|title= Christine Keeler Photograph: A Modern Icon|url= http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/c/christine-keeler-photograph-a-modern-icon/|publisher= Victoria and Albert Museum|access-date= 2 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140110105413/http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/c/christine-keeler-photograph-a-modern-icon|archive-date=10 January 2014|url-status=live|date= 15 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/keeler-affair-1963| title=The Keeler Affair (1963)| publisher=[[British Board of Film Classification]] | access-date=19 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171206161416/https://bbfc.co.uk/releases/keeler-affair-1963 |archive-date=6 December 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The photo propelled [[Arne Jacobsen]]'s [[Model 3107 chair]] to prominence, even though the chair used was an imitation of the Model 3107, with a hand-hold aperture crudely cut out of the back to avoid copyright infringement. The particular chair used is in the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]].<ref name="chair" /> The differences in the designs of the chairs are readily apparent in a side-by-side photograph.<ref name="chair" />
