Nadine Credi

English soprano and wife of John Chetwynd-Talbot, 21st Earl of Shrewsbury and Waterford. Her professional pseudonyms were Nadine Talbot and Nadine Credi -- "Credi" is short for Crediton, where her father was born. She was a style setter, social hostess, and a tabloid sensation in the UK: in 1959 the Earl of Shrewsbury sued her for divorce on the grounds of adultery with his former private secretary, the 27-year-old tutor of their four daughters. After the scandal, she resumed her singing career (she studied with Maggie Teyte). She died in 2003 at the age of 90.
