"Five months after meeting Alexandra, Frost had moved onto Caroline Cushing, a former debutante, who was married to a wealthy American, Howard Cushing.
Their first date was the boxing match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in then Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo — the so-called Rumble In The Jungle.
After that, the pair travelled all over the world with Frost’s work. She was behind the scenes during the series of televised interviews with disgraced American president Richard Nixon, for which Frost is probably most famous.
They split up in 1979 and Caroline went on to marry Bill Graham, the son of Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham, but stayed friends.
Now 73 and running a PR agency in California, Mrs Cushing Graham says: ‘He was never in a bad mood. He had a very upbeat personality and was able to work really hard. He was a great human being.
‘He was a great gourmet, a unique Englishman. I’m sad he didn’t die on English soil. He loved England.’"
