Family
Keith married Pearl Rebuck in 1941 and their son Sir Brian Keith (born 14 April 1944) has been a High Court judge since 2001. He was the elder brother of fellow actor David Kossoff, whose son Paul Kossoff was guitarist with the rock band Free.
In the mid-1960s Keith's "wild" and beautiful teenaged daughter, Linda, became well connected culturally in the early days of "Swinging London". She was photographed by David Bailey and, together with Shiela Klein, partner of the Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Oldham, was at the heart of a bohemian community in London's West Hampstead. She formed relationships with Keith Richards of the Stones and, later in New York, Jimi Hendrix, but drifted into drug dependency. Richards appears to have been instrumental in Alan Keith's going out to America to find his daughter. On their return she was made a ward of court. She later brought up her own family and, in 2010, was living in New Orleans. According to Richards, Linda Keith was the subject of the song, "Ruby Tuesday" ("When you change with every new day/Still I'm gonna miss you").

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“I can only sign over everything,
the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels,
the soul, the family tree, the mailbox.
Then I can sleep.
Maybe.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“A family with an old person has a living treasure of gold.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Family lore can be a bore, but only when you are hearing it, never when you are relating it to the ones who will be carrying it on for you. A family without a storyteller or two has no way to make sense out of their past and no way to get a sense of themselves.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
