Books Update: Diana Dors : 3 film adaptations and an auto-biography
*TV/Film Tie-Ins: Diana Dors is the star of this update, the UK’s blonde bombshell often referred to as the English Marilyn Monroe. A comedy and drama actress and singer of some achievement, Diana was active from the late 1940s until her death in the 1980s. One of the most beautiful women ever to light up the screen, her personal life was often larger and more dramatic than the roles she played. Three vintage paperback novelisations of her films here, plus an autobiography. Most are copiously illustrated with film and publicity stills.
