Her photogenic beauty led to many images of her appearing in the London society magazines, most notably the Tatler 'Kitty' epitomised the roaring twenties in London and she was often compared to the American actress, Tallulah Bankhead. Throughout the decade she was captured by many leading of London’s leading photographers. ‘Kitty’ was a keen amateur golfer who played on major courses in England, Scotland, France and Ireland. She was also a talented amateur artist and a connoisseur of antique furniture. In 1935 she was one of the members who organised a major touring exhibition, ‘Charles Sargeant Jagger - A Memorial Exhibition’ (1935–37). Two portraits of her appeared in her husband’s only London solo exhibition at the J. Leger & Son in 1935. In 1940, during the London Blitz she was lucky to survive when an adjoining property to her Chelsea home was destroyed by a bomb.
