Famous actors were members of Macready's Club. So were playwrights, composers, film producers, judges, barristers, newspaper editors, TV personalities, MPs and even some cabinet ministers. Its list of members was once described as 'a glossary of the British establishment.
But in the early 2000s it was the target of relentless criticism because its woefully out-of-date 19th century rules did not allow women to join. When the club voted to keep it that way, Brigit 'the scorpion' threatened that if Macready's did not mend its misogynist ways she would come after it, her sting dripping with poison.
