 |
| Mary-Ellen Field |
The phone hacking scandal has had many victims. One of those is intellectual property expert and strategist Mary-Ellen Field, a name many readers will recognise and a personal friend. She was the business confidante of supermodel Elle MacPherson and credited for turning the model’s image on the catwalk into a multimillion dollar business brand. That is, until News of The World hacked her phone.
