Diana Dors Tribute Video

Thanks to williebeable21too for making this tribute video of Diana.

It has lots of nice clips of Diana in films, tv and other scenes too set against music that is perfect for the montage in my opinion.

Yield To The Night pictures

Here are some stills taken from the fantastic 'Yield To The Night' where Diana puts in a mesmerisingly good performance. I will write more about the film itself in upcoming posts.
This film is widely regarded by critics as Diana's best work and it is certainly amongst her best. It's difficult to name for definite her best work as there is so much to choose from but this perfomance in 'Yield to The Night' is one of the best displays of acting I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. She made the part her own and she really understood the role she was playing perfectly. She delivers each line thoughtfully but naturally through her great talent and guile.

Diana Dors - Glamour with grit

This picture sums up Diana's wonderful mix of glamour and grit perfectly. The backdrop of a normal English housing estate, with Diana looking dazzling stepping out of a car with grace.

Diana's down to earth nature, sensitive and kind personality was one of her great charms, she never let the fame and glamour carry her away and the public loved her for it.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

No prizes for spotting Diana here! She's given a front row standing. Many people I've spoken to confuse her for Marilyn Monroe on this, however Marilyn is of course a couple of rows behind in the centre, her face is the only part visible. I have always loved how Diana has pride of place on this famous album cover.

New look blog

After much faffing around, the blog I feel now looks much better. I hope you like the changes too.

Diana Dors on Sky Movies

On 24/07/09 at 08:10am, Sky Movies are showing 'Steptoe and Son Ride Again' on channel 'Sky Movies Classics'. Channel number is 308 on Sky.

Diana's sharp wit and humour is on display throughout the film, which makes for many laughs. Not a well critically received film at the time, 'Steptoe and Son Ride Again' is not the best film Diana has graced but her performance in this film is excellent as usual.

Swindon Siren

Britain doesn't have many statues of females but one that stands proud is Diana Dors. The statue is located fittingly outside the cinema at Shaw Ridge Leisure Park, Swindon. Swindon by the way has reportedly the largest amount of cinema screens per person in the U.K.

In 1991, John Clinch was commissioned to make a bronze figure of Swindon's most famous daughter, Diana Dors. Clinch decided to accentuate her glamour, with Diana here in a startling dress. Not long ago, the statue was showing signs of disrepair and the council were thinking of scrapping it but Diana's devoted fans clubbed together to save it, and rightly so.

I have always found the face quite funny but recreating Diana's beauty on a metal statue is no easy thing I'm sure!
