Michele Renouf (born 1946) is an Australian-born, British-based socialite,
who came to the wider attention of the public when she sat at the side of David
Irving during his failed legal action against the Jewish author Deborah Lipstadt
in 2000.
Born Michele Mainwaring, she became a model, dancer and beauty contestant,
winning the title of Miss Newcastle 1968.
Her first marriage was to Daniel
Griaznoff,
a descendant of Russian aristocracy, which, she claims, granted her the title of
Countess.
In 1991 she entered into her second
marriage, to tennis legend Sir Frank
Renouf,
when he was 72 and she was 44. The marriage collapsed after a few months
when Sir Frank was informed about his wife's humble origins. Renouf had told Sir
Frank that she was the ex-wife of a Russian nobleman and that her father was
dead, only to have Sir Frank learn that, in fact, her father was a truck driver
named Arthur and still very much alive. Sir Frank described the union as a
"nasty accident". Nevertheless, her marriage to Sir Frank allowed her to assume
the title of "Lady Renouf".
Renouf has become increasingly known in recent years for her support of
prominent fascists and neo-Nazis. In 2000 she was a daily presence at Holocaust
denier David Irving's court case and in 2005 she attended the trial of Holocaust
denier and neo-Nazi Ernst Zündel in Germany.
She has described Judaism as a "repugnant and hateful religion", though this
appears to conflict with her claim not to be anti-Semitic. Her attempt to get

A jewish sangster married Renouf's second wife
Sangster
was one of the most well-known owners in Flat racing and had won 27
European Classics.
His famous blue, green and white silks won more than 100 Group One races,
including two Derbies with The Minstrel (1977) and Golden Fleece (1982).
The football pools magnate also counted the Breeders' Cup Mile, the Melbourne
Cup and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe among his many big-race wins.
Sangster's wealth was believed to run into the hundreds of millions of pounds.
He dated a string of beautiful women including supermodel Jerry Hall and author
Tara Moss, and later married Melbourne
socialite Susan Renouf.
Born in Liverpool, Sangster began owning racehorses in 1967 but it was his
association with legendary Irish trainer Vincent O'Brien that propelled him into
the limelight.
He was one of the partners in the Coolmore Stud and travelled around the world
buying well-bred yearlings to race and then breed from.
Sadler's Wells, one of the most successful ever stallions, was bred at
Sangster's Swettenham Stud.
In 1984, Sangster bought the Manton estate in Wiltshire and over the years
installed several trainers there, including Michael Dickinson, Barry Hills,
Peter Chapple-Hyam and John Gosden.
He was champion owner five times (1977, 1978, 1982, 1983 and 1984).

The painting fetched more than double the reserve price an auctioneer proposed five years ago when it almost went under the hammer. Lady Renouf withdrew it then at the last minute - auctioneer Chris Deutscher was reported as having set the painting's reserve at $700,000 but his client had wanted it raised to $900,000. Lady Renouf announced yesterday she was giving $37,400 to Melbourne's St Vincent's Institute to buy a sophisticated protein identification machine from the US that will enhance knowledge about diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. "I'm not a corporation, and I'm not a charitable fund," she said, "but I think if I do something like this, it may prompt other people to think, 'Well, that's a lovely thing to do', and they might also consider giving to a cause they believe in." Lady Renouf bought the Nolan painting in 1978 with her second husband, Mr Sangster. "I was an Australian living overseas and at the time I was collecting Australian art to decorate my houses over there," she said. "I bought it because I loved it, and the Ned Kelly paintings are unique." Lady Renouf said yesterday the time had come to part with a work "that brings back a lot of happy memories". She intended to re-invest in the art market, "looking at other works, and works by up-and-coming artists". According to Paul Sumner, director of Mossgreen Gallery, which handled the sale, the new owner of Ned Kelly - Outlaw is an anonymous local collector who has indicated it may be available for loans to major Australian galleries. |
