Diana Dors
Oct. 23, 1931 - May 4, 1984
I know very little about Diana Dors. She was a British actress and she was hot. Perhaps this is all that really matters.
And yet, there's more to be said. She was generally regarded as the British Marilyn Monroe, and there was a strong physical resemblance. She made many films and became an international star...or at least in countries other than America she was. While she's virtually unknown here, she was nevertheless featured on the covers of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's and the Smiths Singles albums and was the subject of a tribute song ("Good Day") by the Kinks. At the height of her career, she was married to Hogan's Heroes star Richard Dawson. This seems to be the only truly dark spot on her resume. But at least this was before he was kissing all those trailer park wives on Family Feud. She developed stomach cancer and died on this day in 1984.
