Sarah Churchill, Born October 7, 1914, in London, England; died of renal failure, September 24, 1982, in London, England. Actress and author. Winston Churchill's second daughter, Sarah Churchill became notorious for her tumultuous private life and extravagant behavior. Yet she was a moderately successful actress, an accomplished amateur painter, and author of several books. Churchill produced two volumes of poetry, a brief memoir about her father, A Thread in the Tapestry, and an autobiography Keep on Dancing. She also published a volume of letters written to her mother during World War II, when she abandoned her stage career to join the WAAF and became her father's aide-de-camp. She accompanied him to conferences with Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin.
