Marjorie Wallace (SANE)
Marjorie Shiona Wallace CBE, FRCPsych (former Countess Skarbek) (born 10 January 1943 in Nairobi, Kenya) is a British writer, broadcaster, investigative journalist, and chief executive of SANE, a mental health charity that she founded in the UK in 1986.
==Early life and career==
Wallace was born in Nairobi, Kenya where her father was a civil engineer surveying for the railways. Her mother was a trained classical pianist, but was unable to pursue her interest professionally. After gaining a degree in Psychology and Philosophy from University College, London, Wallace worked as a trainee producer for ''The Frost Programme'' with David Frost (1966–68). She went on to become a religious programmes producer and a current affairs reporter for London Weekend Television (1969–72). While an investigative journalist and Social Services Correspondent for ''The Sunday Times'' (1972–89), she wrote a series of articles in 1972 highlighting the financial and emotional plight of the Thalidomide children who had been born in the 1950s and 1960s with physical disabilities. As a result of this campaign, she met Terry Wiles, about whom she co-authored a biography, ''On Giant's Shoulders'' (1976). This was made into a BBC ''Play of the Week '' in 1979 in which Wallace was portrayed by Annabel Leventon.
Her other investigations as a ''Sunday Times'' journalist ranged from the failure of concrete systems building and the 'hot-housing' of genius children to the Dioxin disaster in Northern Italy about which she co-wrote the book ''Superpoison''.
