Peter Haden-Guest, 4th Baron Haden-Guest

Peter Haden Haden-Guest, 4th Baron Haden-Guest (29 August 1913 – 8 April 1996) the 4th Baron Haden-Guest of Saling in the County of Essex, England.

He was the third son of Leslie Haden Haden-Guest, 1st Baron Haden-Guest. His mother was Muriel Carmel Goldsmid, daughter of Albert Goldsmid and the 1st baron's second wife.

A dancer and choreographer who performed as "Peter Michael" with the Markova-Dolin Ballet, Ballet Divertissement, Ballet Theatre, Ballet Joos, and the Repertory Dance Theatre from 1935 until 1945, Haden-Guest was a United Nations official from 1946 to 1972. [http://www.thepeerage.com/p12482.htm] He inherited his title in 1987.

He was married twice, his wives being:

* Elisabeth Wolpert (née Louise Ruth Wolpert, 1910—2002), a German-born writer and socialite better known as Elisabeth Furse; she and Peter Haden-Guest married in 1939 and divorced in 1945. They had one child, Anthony Haden-Guest (2 February 1937—)

* Jean Pauline Hindes, whom he married in 1945. They had three children: Christopher (1948—), Nicholas (1951—), and Elissa (1953—).

Upon his death, Lord Haden-Guest was succeeded by his son Christopher, an actor who is married to the actress Jamie Lee Curtis. Lord Haden-Guest's eldest son, New York journalist Anthony Haden-Guest, was born before his parents were married and was thus ineligible for the title.
