Timeline

1929

Educated at Universities of Oxford, Budapest & Berlin. Became New York & Washington correspondent for The Times newspaper in 1929.

1933

Resigned in 1933 to found his own news-sheet The Week, which acheived notoriety. Fought on Republican side in Spanish civil war, and was diplomatic correspondent for the Daily Worker.

1950

In the early 1950s, he was living in Ireland in an old house with a leaky roof which he could not afford to have repaired. To raise the money, he left several copies of his novel "Beat The Devil" at strategic places in a country house where he was a weekend guest, knowing that one of the other guests, John Huston, was a film director. Sure enough, Huston began to read the novel over the weekend and had made an informal offer for the film rights before the weekend was over. This money paid for the roof-repair.

1963

He had been living in some obscurity in Ireland for several years when, in the summer of 1963, he was asked to guest-edit one issue of the satirical fortnightly magazine, "Private Eye", in London. (The then editor of the magazine, Christopher Booker, was going on his honeymoon). Cockburn took some persuading, but agreed to do the one edition of "Private Eye" - and in it he contrived to name the head of MI6, hitherto a top secret; to allege (accurately) that Lady Dorothy Macmillan, the wife of the then Prime Minister, had been an adulteress; to list the suspected lovers of the Duchess of Argyll, who was then going through a sensational divorce; to suggest that one of them, a prominent Member of Parliament, had paid over £2000 to have a photograph which was used in these divorce proceedings altered, so that his face could not be seen; and to run a detailed story strongly hinting that a 60-year-old artist named Hal Woolf had died as a result of injuries sustained whilst in police custody. This last story had been ignored by all the daily newspapers, and, as a direct result of Cockburn's piece, an inquiry was launched into the death. In later years, Cockburn was a regular "Private Eye" columnist.

1972

His second partner was Jean Ross who served as Christopher Isherwood's model for Sally Bowles in his "Berlin Stories," the original source for Cabaret (1972).
