Music world in discord as film depicts du Pre the icon as selfish seductress
Article Abstract:
There is likely to be renewed controversy about the late cellist Jacqueline du Pre as a result of the film 'Hilary and Jackie,' to be released shortly. This film portrays her as spoilt and manipulative, and also details how she persuaded her brother-in-law to sleep with her against his will. Some observers challenge this view of her, claiming that her brother and sister have fostered a negative image of her because they were jealous of her.
