Baron Haden-Guest, of Saling in the County of Essex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 2 February 1950 for the Labour Party politician Leslie Haden-Guest. He had previously represented Southwark North and Islington North in the House of Commons. His third 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 has been held by his son Christopher Guest, the fifth Baron, who succeeded him in 1996. Christopher Guest is a film director, writer, actor and musician, married to the actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who is therefore the current Lady Haden-Guest.
Barons Haden-Guest (1950)
- Leslie Haden-Guest, 1st Baron Haden-Guest (1877–1960)
- Stephen Haden Haden-Guest, 2nd Baron Haden-Guest (1902–1974)
- Richard Haden Haden-Guest, 3rd Baron Haden-Guest (1904–1987)
- Peter Albert Michael Haden-Guest, 4th Baron Haden-Guest (1913–1996)
- Christopher Haden-Guest, 5th Baron Haden-Guest (born 1948)
Anthony Haden-Guest, the current baron's older half-brother, was born out of wedlock, and hence is not in the line of succession. As the current baron's children are adopted (and thus likewise not in the line of succession), the heir presumptive is the present holder's brother, The Hon. Nicholas Haden-Guest (born 1951). There are no more heirs to the barony.
