Diana Dors (23 October 1931 – 4 May 1984) was an English actress, born Diana Mary Fluck in Swindon, Wiltshire. Considered the English equivalent of the blonde bombshells of Hollywood, Dors described herself as: "The only sex symbol Britain has produced since Lady Godiva."[1][2]

Early life

Diana Mary Fluck was born in ­Swindon, Wiltshire, on October 23, 1931, at The Haven Nursing Home. Her mother Mary was married to Albert Fluck, but enjoyed a sexual relationship with their lodger Gerald Lack. When Mary announced she was pregnant with Diana, she admitted she had no clear idea which of them was the father.[1]

Educated at Colville House, like many children of the time she enjoyed the cinema, and her heroines from aged 8 onwards were the Hollywood sirens Veronica Lake, Lana Turner and Jean Harlow.[1]

Career

LAMDA

Having excelled in her elocution studies, after lying about her age,[1] in 1946 aged 14 she was offered a place to study at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, becoming the college's youngest ever student.[1] She lodged at the Earls Court YWCA, and supplemented her £2 per week allowance, most of which was spent on her lodgings, by posing for the London Camera Club for one Guinea an hour. Signed to the Gordon Harbord Agency, in her first term she won a bronze medal, awarded by Peter Ustinov, and in her second won a silver with honours, awarded by casting director Eric L'Epine Smith.[3]

Having already acted in public theatre pieces for LAMDA productions, it was Smith who got her into her first film part, with a walk-on piece that developed into a speaking part in The Shop at Sly Corner at a rate of £8 per day for three days. During the signing of contracts, in agreement with Diana and her father, Smith changed her contractual surname to Dors, the maiden name of her maternal grandmother, on the initial suggestion of her mother Mary.[3] Dors later comented on her name:[1]

“ They asked me to change my name. I suppose they were afraid that if my real name Diana Fluck was in lights and one of the lights blew... ”

Returning to LAMDA, two weeks later she was asked by her agent to audition to for Holiday Camp, by dancing a Jitterbug with fellow young actor John Blythe. Gainsborough Studios gave her the part at a pay rate of £10 per day for four days.[3] Her next film was Dancing with Crime, shot at Twickenham Studios opposite Richard Attenborough during the coldest winter for nearly fifty years, for which she was paid £10 per day for fifteen days. Following her return to LAMDA, and having won over principle Wilfred Foulis, she graduated in spring 1947 by winning the London Films Cup, awarded to LAMDA by Sir Alexander Korda. She timed her return to Swindon to visit her parents, with the local release of The Shop At Sly Corner.[4]

Films

Now aged 16, she was signed under contract to the Rank Organisation, and joined J. Arthur Rank's "Charm School" for young actors, subsequently appearing in many of their films.[1] She played a number of supporting roles, where in her early films, Dors chest was in part strapped down, and with her natural hair brown, allows her full and developing acting ability to come through. She made her leading role breakthrough in 1949's Diamond City, a commercially unsuccessful story of a boom town in South Africa in 1870.

After an appearance with Barbara Murray in The Cat and the Canary at the Connaught Theatre, Worthing, she was contracted out to Elstree Studios. They cast her in the play Man of the World with Lionel Jeffries, which opened at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, and capped her works that year to win her Theatre World magazine's Actress of the Year Award. However, with Rank now £18million in debt, Rank closed their "Charm School", and made Dors redundant.[5]

With her then boyfriend in jail, and having just undergone her first abortion, Dors met Dennis Hamilton Gittins in May 1951 while filming Lady Godiva Rides Again for Rank,[1] a film which created first or early appearances for Joan Collins, Sid James and a then four month pregnant Ruth Ellis.[1] Hamilton romanced Dors, and quickly won her heart, with the couple marrying only five weeks later at Caxton Hall on Monday 3 July 1951.[6] From this point forward and driven by his publicity focus, her appearance became classical sex symbol and markedly similar to Marilyn Monroe's. She often played characters suffering from unrequited love, and so successful was the trasformation that by the mid 1950s Dors was known as "the English Marilyn Monroe."[1] Hamilton also made sure that she had the lifestyle attachments of a sex-symbol, agreeing a lease-deal with Rolls Royce such that a headline could be created in the tabloids that at aged 20, she was the youngest registered owner of a Rolls-Royce in the UK.[1]

There were no limits to which it is alleged Hamilton would go to advance Dors career, and his income or influence from it.[1] Many biographers, writers and piers after her death said that Hamilton would loan Dors out as a favour to hiring producers and leading actors, much as in the casting couch practises of Hollywood.[1] In 1954, Hamilton had the idea to exploit the new printed technology of 3D. He engaged photographer Horace Roye to take a number of nude and semi-nude photographs of Dors, which Hamilton subsequently had published in two forms. The semi-nude where her modesty is unseen by the camera, or covered with white faux fur, were issued as a "Diana Dors 3D: the ultimate British Sex Symbol" set, which sold together with a pair of 3D glasses, capped her as the true ultimate British sex symbol. The full nude test shot photographs became part of Roye's 1954 booklet "London Models".[1]

US career

Following the success of 1952 British noir film The Last Page, producer Robert L. Lippert offered her a one-picture deal on one condition: that she divorce Dennis Hamilton Gittins. Dors refused. She gained a second Hollywood offer from Burt Lancaster for a lead role in his 1954 production His Majesty O'Keefe, but this time Hamilton turned down the part on her behalf before she even knew of the offer. The result was that her early promising career was restricted from this point forward to mainly British films.[1] According to film buffs,[1] her best work as an actress was when she played a murderess in the 1956 film Yield to the Night. She showed her capability in her willingsness to play repulsive characters in films, such as The Amazing Mr. Blunden, The Unholy Wife, and Timon of Athens.[1]

Dors never had quite the same following in the United States, due to her husband Hamilton. Pre-signing a three film contract with RKO Pictures, on 20 June 1956 she left Southampton on board the RMS Queen Elizabeth for New York, and then onwards to Hollywood to start shooting The Unholy Wife and I Married a Woman. Due to meet Hollywood columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons, interviews were arranged to be held at the Hollywood home of her friend, the celebrity hairdresser Teasy-Weasy Raymond, who owned a Spanish-style villa off Sunset Boulevard, formerly owned by Marlene Dietrich.[7] To conicide with the publication of the articles, Hamilton and Raymond arranged a Hollywood launch party at Raymond's house in August 1956, with a guest list that included: Doris Day, Eddie Fisher, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Liberace, Lana Turner, Ginger Rogers and John Wayne. After 30 minutes while lining up next to Raymond's pool with her US agent Louis Shurr and her dress designer Howard Shoup, all four including Dors and Hamilton were pushed into the pool after the party crowd and photographers surged forward. Hamilton emerged drenched from the pool, and hit the first photographer before he could be restrained. The following days headlines in the National Enquirer read: "Ms Dors Go Home – And Take Mr Dors With You.”[1] Due to the resulting negative publicity, the couple failed to buy Lana Turner's house, settling into a rental property in Coldwater Canyon.[1]

Dors had an alleged affair with Rod Steiger during the filming of The Unholy Wife, which he broke off in October 1956 after Hamilton started an affair with Raymond's estranged wife in London, and his sole management of his alleged mistress Shirley Ann Field.[1] After Dors announced her subsequent separation from Hamilton, RKO cancelled the contract on a moral clause due to her pending divorce, after only 1958's The Unholy Wife and I Married a Woman were completed.[8] Dors left Hollywood, staying in The Dorchester in London for a single night, before reconcilling with Hamilton for a period.[1]

Subsequently having her US films distributed under the stage name Diana d'Ors to avoid bad publicity, in more recent years Dors has made a wider US break through due to her films having been shown on classic movie channels such as Turner Classic Movies.

During the summer of 1961, she taped 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice', based on Robert Bloch's story "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", for Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The episode was so gruesome, it was banned by the NBC Television Network and sponsor Revlon, and not released for many decades.[9]

Cabaret

In February 1957 while filming The Long Haul, Dors started a relationship with co-star Victor Mature's stuntman, the actor Tommy Yeardye. Hamilton discovered the relationship through his 8mm movie camera taping of his wife's apartment and trailer, and so starts off another period of separation, which this time would lead to the first start of divorce procedures.[1]

Following her final separation from her husband Hamilton in 1958, bringing an end to her RKO contract on moral clause grounds, Dors discovered from her accountants that her company Diana Dors Ltd was in serious debt. Hamilton had steered the company towards the dual purpose of publicising Diana and fulfilling his own dreams, over paying tax bills and establishing financial stability.[8]

Having been forced at gun point by Hamilton to sign over all of her assets on their separation, and now in desperate need of money to pay both her divorce lawyers and their accountants, she agreed to the suggestion of agent Joseph Collins (father of Jackie and Joan Collins), to undertake a theatre-based UK cabaret tour, that later extended into Europe and North America. Under the title of "The Diana Dors Show", her boyfriend Yeardle suggests that they hire the comedian Dickie Dawson, who they had seen at New York's Stork Club. Dawson subsequently scripted the show and wrote most of the material. Finding Dawson very funny, Dors started a relationship with him and then ended the relationship with Yeardle, who subsequently emptied her cash box at Harrods of £18,000 and sold his story to the media.[1] This brought negative publicity to the show, but audience numbers remained high, which allowed Dors extra time to explain her affairs to a subsequent HM Revenue and Customs investigation of her cash holdings.[8] After marrying Dawson in New York whilst making an appearance on The Steve Allen Show in 1959, the theatre-based The Diana Dors Show was commissioned for two studio-based series on television at ITV.[1]

After the birth of her first child in February 1960, and wishing to stay in the United States as a family unit with Dawson, Dors undertook a cabaret contract to headline at the Dunes hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.[1]

Dors returned to UK cabaret in 1966 after her separation and divorce from Dawson, and subsequent bankruptcy in which she owed HMRC £40,208.[10] But as her popularity had fallen, this time she was touring Working men's clubs.[1]

Recordings

from the trailer for the film I Married a Woman (1958)

The earliest recordings of Dors were two sides of a 78-rpm single released on HMV Records in 1951. The tracks were "I Feel So Mmmm" and "A Kiss And A Cuddle (And A Few Kinds Words From You)". HMV also released sheet music featuring sultry photos of Dors on the cover. She also sang "The Hokey Pokey Polka" on the 1954 soundtrack for the film As Long As They're Happy.

Dors only recorded one complete album, Swinging Dors, in 1960. The LP was originally released on red vinyl. The orchestra was conducted by Wally Stott. Swinging Dors was, obviously, a swing album, and Dors demonstrated a likeable, unaffected singing voice.

She also sang as a special guest for the Italian TV show Un, due, tre (One, two, three, starring Ugo Tognazzi and Raimondo Vianello) on 31 May 1959, at the Teatro della Fiera of Milan, with orchestra conducted by Mario Bertolazzi.

She continued to record singles on various labels: "It's Too Late"/"So Little Time" (Fontana, 1964), "Security"/Gary" (Polydor, 1966), "Passing By"/"It's A Small World" (EMI 1977), and in 1982, although battling cancer, she recorded a single for the Nomis label, "Where Did They Go"/"It's You Again" (a duet with her son, Gary Dors).

Dors image was included with her permission on The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover art, as the blonde in the front row on the right in the gold dress and white gloves. She is also featured on the cover of The Smiths 1995 compilation album Singles, and later a Morrissey picture disc.

Later career

Still making headlines in the News of the World and other print media in the late 1970s thanks to her adult parties, in her later years, Dors status began to revive.

Although her film work consisted mainly of sex comedies, her popularity climbed thanks to her television work, where her wit, intelligence and catchy one-liners developed as a cabaret performer won over viewers. She became a regular on Jokers Wild, Blankety Blank and Celebrity Squares, and was a regular guest on BBC Radio 2's The Law Game. A popular chat show guest, Russell Harty filmed an entire show - Russell Harty: At Home with Dors - in the pool room of her home, Orchard Manor.[11] Younger musical artists engaged her persona, brought about after the 1981 Adam and the Ants music video Prince Charming, where she played the fairy godmother opposite Adam Ant, who played a male Cinderella figure.

Having turned her life story into a cash flow through interviewed and leaked tabloid stories, like many celebrities in their later careers she turned to the autobiography to generate retirement cash. Between 1978 and 1984, she published four auto-biographical books under her own name:

  • Diana Dors (14 February 1978). For Adults Only. Star. ISBN 0352301589. 
  • Diana Dors (February 1979). Behind Closed Dors. Star. ISBN 0352303352. 
  • Diana Dors (15 October 1981). Dors by Diana. Futura Publications. ISBN 0708820255. 
  • Diana Dors (1984). A. to Z. of Men. Futura Publications. ISBN 0708823459. 

Having gone through her first round of cancer treatment, by the early 1980's Dors hour-glass figure had become plumper, and she addressed the issue through co-authoring a diet book,[12] and creating a diet and exercise VHS videocassette. This resulted in the summer 1983 by her joining the cast of the ITV breakfast show TV-am in a regular slot focusing on diet and nutrition, which later morphed into an agony aunt slot. But as the cancer treatment took its toll again, her appearances became fewer and fewer.[11]

Personal life

Dors was married three times:

  • Dennis Hamilton Gittins (3 July 1951–3 January 1959, his death): married 5 weeks after meeting, at Caxton Hall; no children; lived London, Berkshire and Hollywood
  • Richard Dawson (12 April 1959–1966, div.): married in New York; two sons Mark Dawson and Gary Dawson; lived London, New York and Hollywood
  • Alan Lake (23 November 1968–her death): married at Caxton Hall; one son Jason Lake; lived at Orchard Manor, Sunningdale, Berkshire

In 1949 while filming Diamond City, she had a relationship with businessman Michael Caborn-Waterfield, the son of the Count Del-Colnaghi, who later founded the Ann Summers chain which he named after his cousin/secretary. During the short relationship, Dors fell pregnant, but Caborn-Waterfield paid for a back-street abortion, which took place on a kitchen table in Battersea.[5] The relationship continued for a time, before Dors met Dennis Hamilton Gittins on the set of Lady Godiva Rides Again, with whom she had a second abortion in 1951.[5]

Dors became a close friend of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain, after Ellis had a cameo role in Lady Godiva Rides Again, four years before she was executed by Albert Pierrepoint.[1] Through her husband Hamilton, Dors was also close friends with the notorious Kray Twins and their mother Violet.[1]

Parties

Dors became an early focus for the "celebrity expose" tabloid headlines, most regularly for Rupert Murdoch's News of the World. In a great part, she created this herself in her desperate need for cash, giving an interview post her separation from Hamilton in 1958, which verbally illustrated their lives and adult group parties in full, open detail. The interview was subsequently serialised in the tabloid for 12 weeks,[13] followed by an extended 6 week series of fake and real stories from both fake, real and anonymous friends, adding to her negative publicity. Subsequently the Archbishop of Canterbury Geoffrey Fisher denounced Dors as a "wayward hussy".[13]

During and after the end of her relationship with Hamilton, and up to months before her ultimate death, Dors regularly held adult parties at her homes.[1] There, a number of celebrities and young starlets were in close contact, with ample supplies of alcohol and drugs, against a background of both soft and hard core porn films.[1] Dors gave all her guests full access to the entire private house, which her son Jason Lake later alleged in various media interviews and publications that she had pre-wired with 8mm movie cameras.[14] The young starlets were made aware of the arrangement, and were allowed to attend for free in return for making sure that their celebrity performed in bed at the right camera angle.[1] Dors would then enjoy watching the unedited films the following morning, keeping an archive of the best performances.[14]

Television news and film media companies with broader interests, in part due to her popularity and in part due to those who were also attending the parties, were unwilling to echo or repeat the stories until well after Dors death.[15] Her former lover and party attendee Bob Monkhouse,[16] later commented in interview after Dors' death: "The awkward part about an orgy, is that afterwards you're not too sure who to thank."[17]

Dalahaye Roadster

In 1948 aged 17, a benfactor/admirer bought Dors a Delahaye Roadster 175S for £5,000. At the time, she didn't have a driving licence, only getting one on 15 December 1955 in Slough. The car was sold at auction in August 2010 for $3 million.[18]

Death

Dors died aged 52, on 4 May 1984, from a recurrence of ovarian cancer, first diagnosed two years before.[1] Having converted to Roman Catholicism in spring 1973 following Lake's release from a 12 month period in jail for affray, at her funeral she was dressed wearing a gold lame evening dress with cape, and a gold "dors" necklace, which she was wearing when she died. After a service at the Sacred Heart Church in Sunningdale on 11 May 1984, conducted by Father Theodore Fontanari, she was buried in Sunningdale Catholic Cemetery.[10]

After her death, Lake immediately burnt all of Dors remaining clothes, and then fell into a depression. On 10 October 1984, after taking their son to the railway station, he returned to their Sunningdale home, and undertook a telephone interview with Daily Express journalist Jean Rook. He then walked into their son's bedroom, and committed suicide by firing a shotgun into his mouth.[2] Aged 43, this was five months after her death from cancer, and sixteen years to the day since they had first met.[19]

Her home for the previous 20 years, Orchard Manor, was sold off by the solicitors. The house contents were bulk-sold by Sotheby’s, who sold off her jewellry collection in a bespoke auction. After solicitors bills, outstanding tax payments, death duties, and various other outstanding cost distributions, the combined estate of Dors and Lake left little for the upkeep of their son, who was subsequently made ward of court to his half-brother Gary Dawson in Los Angeles.[20]

Alleged fortune

Before she died, Dors apparently hid away what she claimed to be over £2 million in banks across Europe. In 1982, she gave her son Mark Dawson a sheet of paper, which she told him was a code that would reveal the whereabouts of the money.[1] Her widower Alan Lake supposedly had the key that would crack the code, but as he had committed suicide five months after Dors died, Dawson was left with an apparently unsolvable code.[1][10]

Dawson sought out computer forensic specialists Inforenz, who recognised the encryption as the Vigenère cipher. Inforenz then used their own cryptanalysis software to suggest a ten-letter decryption key, DMARYFLUCK (short for Diana Mary Fluck, Dors's real name).[1] Although Inforenz was then able to decode the entire message and link it to a bank statement found in some of Lake's papers, the location of the money is still unknown.[1][10]

Some speculate presently whether there may have been a second sheet, whose information might have led to the discovery of the money. Channel 4 made a television programme about the mystery, and created a website (now removed) where users could learn more and help solve the mystery.[1]

Legacy

Dors left a mark on popular culture: the "50s blonde bombshell look" popularized by Dors and, in the U.S., by the actresses known as the "Three 'Ms'" -- Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren and Marilyn Monroe.

Her untimely death is referred to in a 1984 song, "Good Day", featured on the Word of Mouth album by The Kinks; it includes the following lines: "The headlines say that Diana is dead/She couldn't act much, but she put on a show/She always smiled, even when she felt low/I used to fancy her a long time ago."[21] A decade before Diana Dors's death, she was name-checked by The New York Dolls in their song "It's Too Late," on their album Too Much, Too Soon.
