From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Haden-Guest, of Saling in the County of Essex, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1950 for the Labour 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. As of 2007 the title is held by his son Christopher Guest, the fifth Baron, who succeeded in 1996. He is a film director, writer, actor and musician.
