Pamela Digby was born the eldest daughter of a Dorset family and was given the superficial education suited for a marriageable, aristocratic young woman. At 19, she met Winston Churchill's son, Randolph, on a blind date. He proposed the same night and they were married within weeks. The impulsive marriage may have been motivated by an already established ambition -- to gain money and power by allying herself with wealthy and powerful men.
