Reading List


Yesterday I went to Hay with some fabulous friends, and added around 10 volumes to my reading pile. Below is the pile of books I haven't read yet, including all the new ones I got

The majority bought yesterday are Hollywood related and include books on Liza Minnelli, Esther Williams, Mae West, Mary Pickford and more - I may well be some time reading this lot - but where shall I start?

British Bombshell

So, as you know I love movies especially old movies and old movie stars, there is one movie star that I am interested in that I can actually remember and that is Diana Dors who died in 1984 when I was nearly 10.

I can remember her in the Two Ronnies, and the Prince Charming video, though older and larger she was still beautiful and glamourous and so blonde.

My Dad is even luckier, her met her once, back in the 50's when she was performing in Weston, he said she was lovely so kind and down to earth and friendly, but he did not like her husband Denis Hamilton, I will not post the words he used to describe him - and his feelings for Denis were based on one meeting so how she put up with him is a mystery.

I have one of the Diana Dors Biographies to read and am hoping I might find more books on her (and other stars) on Monday when I go book hunting with my fiends in Hay on Wye


Gorgeous Glamour 

 A dramatic role for Diana as a condemned woman

 Some early Diana films are on this boxset along with the The Blonde Bombshell bio starring Keeley Hawes and Amanda Redman

This is Naomi, she is the only Diana Dors lookalike in the world - isn't she stunning?

HTS the end

Well I'm sitting here typing this while I wait for an ebay auction to end, really I just want to go to bed as I am coming down with a cold - but here are the last of the HTS shots.


Round and Round the Garden by Alan Ayckbourn

Below - some of my headshots




I have realised that I missed a show I did called Just for Laughs - I will share those with you another time
