Diana Dors

Actress / Film Actress | * 10/23/1931 († 52, 05/04/1984) | Swindon, Wiltshire, England (United Kingdom (UK))
Diana Dors (born Diana Mary Fluck; 23 October 1931 – 4 May 1984) was an English actress and singer. Dors came to public notice as a blonde bombshell, much in the style of Americans Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and Mamie Van Doren. Dors was promoted by her first husband, Dennis Hamilton, mostly in sex film-comedies and risqué modelling. After it was revealed that Hamilton had been defrauding her, she continued to play up to her established image, and she made tabloid headlines with the parties reportedly held at her house. Later, she showed talent as a performer on TV, in recordings, and in cabaret, and gained new public popularity as a regular chat-show guest. She also gave well-regarded film performances at different points in her career. According to David Thomson, "Dors represented that period between the end of the war and the coming of Lady Chatterley in paperback, a time when sexuality was naughty, repressed, and fit to burst."

Diana Dors was an English actress, born Diana Mary Fluck on October 23 1931 in Swindon, Wiltshire (England). Physically and socially mature for her age, Dors became a pin-up girl at age 13. She lied to the photographers and later directors, claiming that she was 17. Her first fling at the camera was in The Shop at Sly Corner (1947). In 1948 she appeared in six films, her best known role from this period was the character Charlotte in Oliver Twist. Dors died on 4 May 1984 at the age of 52 from a recurrence of ovarian cancer, first diagnosed two years before.
