In the 1950s and 1960s, Lady Jeanne went to New York City, where she became a foreign correspondent for the Evening Standard, which was owned by her grandfather, Lord Beaverbrook (Aitken). She covered John F. Kennedy's funeral in 1963, writing that 'Jackie Kennedy has given the American people the one thing they have always lacked: majesty.'

In January 1974, Lady Jeanne's half-brother, Ian Campbell, 12th Duke of Argyll, set up the Clan Campbell Society of the United States in New York City. She was appointed by him to serve as the Society's High Commissioner, which, essentially, was the personal representative of the head of the Campbell Clan in the United States.

Lady Jeanne, a friend Tennessee Williams, was interested in acting, joined The Old Vic, and starred in La Mama, a play which was held at a downtown avant-garde theater.

Lady Jeanne Campbell was twice married and known for her many lovers. Reportedly, she had affairs with Nikita Khrushchev, Fidel Castro, U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Randolph Churchill, the son of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Oswald Mosley, Ian Fleming, and Henry Luce II, the founder of Time magazine. She was first married to the American writer Norman Mailer (1923–2007) in 1962. He described her as "a remarkable girl, almost as interesting, complex and Machiavellian" as himself. Reputedly, Gore Vidal asked her why she became involved with Mailer and she replied "Because I never slept with a Jew before."Before their 1963 divorce they were the parents of:

Kate Mailer (b. 1962), who is a writer and an actress.

Cusi Cram (b. 1967), who is also an actress, a Herrick-prize-winning playwright, and an Emmy-nominated writer for the children's animated television program, Arthur.
However, it was later revealed that Cusi was not Cram's daughter, but, in fact, the daughter of a Bolivian ambassador to the United Nations.
