Lady Caroline Maureen Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood (16 July 1931 – 14 February 1996), known as Caroline Blackwood, was an English writer, socialite, and muse. Her novels have been praised for their wit and intelligence. One of her works is an autobiography, which detailed her wealthy but unhappy childhood. She was born into an aristocratic British family, the eldest child of the 4th Marquess of Dufferin and Ava and of Maureen Constance Guinness. Her husbands were accomplished figures in their own fields.
