Lord Haden-Guest

Baron Haden-Guest, of Saling in the County of Essex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 2 February 1950 for the Labour Party politician Leslie Haden-Guest who had previously represented Southwark North and Islington North in the House of Commons. His fourth son, the fourth Baron (who succeeded his half-brother in 1987, who in his turn had succeeded his brother in 1974), was a United Nations official for many years. The title is held by his son, the fifth Baron, who succeeded him in 1996. Known professionally as Christopher Guest, he is a film director, writer, actor and musician. He is married to the actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who is therefore the current Lady Haden-Guest.
