Diana Dors, born Mavis Fluck, was considered England's answer to Marilyn Monroe. From the age of three, Dors knew that she wanted to be an actress and started on that road by the age thirteen. Like fellow UK pin-ups Sabrina, Pamela Green, and June Wilkinson, Dors knew that Hollywood was the place for her. She fit in well with her blonde bombshell looks and sexy, attention-grabbing attitude--an attitude seen here in this quote to the Associated British-Pathe, "I resented being molded as the female Errol Flynn, but it was the way to become a household word. I always wanted to be a glamorous Hollywood star with a cream telephone. It couldn't be done with the films I was offered--so it had to be done with glamour, extravagance, tiger-skin rugs, mink bikinis, and sex appeal, I was the first homegrown sex symbol...rather like Britain's naughty seaside postcards." She was a busy actress, appearing in no less than six films in 1948. There were small roles and larger ones, A and B films, but Dors kept working. By the time that other glamour models/actresses had spent their lot and faded away, Dors became a talented and prolific character actress well up unto her death in the mid-80's.
