I love how Diana Dors was such a strong woman and didn't let anything bring her down! 💕 She didn't moan but "just got on with it!" 🙌

[@tonymoore3558]

Diana Dors was simply Super in every way possible forever missed but never forgotten ♥️

[@trudyramgren8817]

She was the kind of person one would like to be friends with. Very likeable and nice. RIP DIANA

[@tomfrost1997]

Can we just say? What a stunning, magnificent female. And the TALENT! Wonderful Dors ⭐️🌹❤️

[@ellecee453]

A very nice documentary of the very lovely and talented Diana Dors. Thanks for uploading this.

[@Zoe-dr5ps]

That Jason is a credit to both his parents. What a lovely man he is. So well spoken and caring. Beautiful Diana Rest In Peace ❤️❤️❤️

Born Diana Mary Fluck. Regarding her name change, she said, “They asked me to change my name. I suppose they were afraid that if the name Diana Fluck was in lights and one of the lights blew…”

[@ConnieinVirginia]

She was a wonderful singer.

[@Sawrattan]

Marilyn Monroe glamour with Bet Lynch attitude. Love it.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

Oh, how I LOVED Diana Dors! I knew of her only in her latter years, but thankfully her popularity was restored by the time I was watching movies and TV in the 1970s. She was a strong, confident woman who owned her past and present and was determined to write her future. It was a shame how her marriages to Dennis Hamilton and Dickie Dawson went, and the alienation of her sons was bitter, but she went on to regenerate her brand and refigure it in a typically English 'Ooh Matron' tongue-in-cheek fashion. And find love with Alan Lake. I adored her even at her heaviest, because she was so real, so natural, so true, and I was gutted when she died. She fought her cancer and thought she had it licked, but in the end faced it like a real trouper. I have missed her deeply for the almost 40 years since her passing.

[@danw1374]

1984 was an awful year for deaths as I recall. We also lost the great Eric Morecambe and Tommy Cooper that year.

[@bobbiewallace4008]

I just saw her on Alfred Hitchcock the other night. Second time on that show this year. I love that show. Anyone wondering it's on MeTv at 12 a.m.

Wonderful video I loved Diana. An ENGLISH DIAMOND❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mollyhoisington7230]

She’s truly an inspiration to all 21st century women! Woman power ! Thank you Diana Dors for your amazing talent and being a super strong woman. Especially back then…..we need it more today than ever with todays influences…

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

One of my favourite documentaries! I love listening to Andrew Ray! He was wonderful! ❤️ thank you for sharing x

[@ZadenZane]

I remember Diana Dors on Blankety Blank or Celebrity Squares (or both). Also A Goat for Two Farthings (or whatever it was) and also Yield to the Night. She was an icon of her times. Tributes on TV when she died, pages and pages of newspaper coverage. She was nothing like Marilyn Monroe, she was Diana Dors.

[@ConnieinVirginia]

She died rather young, wish she was still with us.

[@britgirl68]

She was beautiful inside and outside. Talent mega star. And oh my those legs...She inspires me even today...a hard worker in in hard times would just dust herself off and start again. ❤

[@firouz4296]

The worst thing that can happen to a woman's career is the wrong man! I never understood why women mary their managers... an aweful idea.

[@vacafuega]

Psychological manipulation by said manager - very easy to mess with someone's mind when you have some kind of power over them

[@intermilan9731]

These women's careers got ahead due to those managers. Other words, she slept her way to the top. She no angel!

[@sharksport01]

She sang so great!

[@doritahenriques3641]

Diana was a very fine lady who despite of the way both first husband used her, she simply loved life. I was 35 years old when I read a book for the first time in my life, and the book was DOORS. by Diana Doors. I just couldn't put it down! I am sure she's still acting in heaven.. Bless her 💕

[@andrewthornhill7042]

@Dorita Henriques I remember that book, too. Have you read her autobiography, 'Dors by Diana'?

[@doritahenriques3641]

@@andrewthornhill7042 yes, I have. She really was lovely. Just glad that she truly found a man at the end who loved her for the person that she was.

[@andrewthornhill7042]

@@doritahenriques3641 She deserved nothing less. Alan and Jason were so good for her and helped make her later life perfect. She always seemed so natural and sparky, who retained a naughty twinkle and quintessentially English sense of humour.

Never heard of her! But great documentary about a very interesting woman.

[@victoriocanale2946]

Respect to a lady that really did achieve a lot in her own right, yes she was compared to Marilyn Monroe but so was every good looking blonde in Hollywood. Diana did a lot of movies even before the blonde hair and people forget she did a wack of movies before aged 17 she was was an original from England. I only recently discovered Diana Dors but I now can see that she was a great talented actress, a real lady and she had a great sense of humor, she actually reminds me of my Aunt. I just wish I knew of her before as great actors and actresses like that shouldn't be forgotten ❤

She was perfect in every way .

[@cbaron5335]

I met her at the opening of a petrol station, I was only young and she was very glamorous but had rather piggy eyes. I later had a friend who lived next door to her in Swiss Cottage when she got ill. She was a nice person and the love between her and Alan was real and true.

[@leopirozzi2467]

RIP. You were a Queen !

[@leopirozzi2467]

Thank you for your like !!!!!

[@leopirozzi2467]

Why is it that all the blonde bombshells were used and abused by men and the Hollywood machine in general ?...so sad Diana seemed to be a real sweet girl ...before the leeches and piranhas got to her !!! Oh well

[@krystalrose9086]

"OH! BUT SHE'S OLDER"...

[@RoomscapeLondon]

Great woman....and “Imitation of life”..the perfect music score...in fact there are many similarities to Lana Turner’s life.

[@traceylennon1204]

I thought that music sounded familiar!!

[@frankdsouza2425]

Sorry Diana's fans, but I am not sure I would choose her as a role model for any young women who sought my advice. Felt desperately sorry for her son, who seemed such a nice boy, only to come to a sad ending.

[@MrDavey2010]

She was amazing.

[@bernadettecrawford3656]

A true star

[@brianmarshall4753]

She a very nice lady RIP 😢

[@kw2299]

She was very different to how I remember her portrayed when I was a child. And a good actress too, apparently.

[@OhNoSweetie...]

In a way, she never left the 3-14yo starry-eyed girl mindset that never knew her real father; setting course for one disastrous relationship after another: Dennis-weirdly raising(controlling) her, Richard-shamelessly riding a dying wave, and then pitifully Alan being raised by Diana. Her choices in partners robbed her and her poor little boys of normality. If she'd parlayed her fame into a recording career, she'd been able to give them as well as herself peace and solvancy. All never had a chance....

[@atomikotita]

Surprising (and I am a fan of her body of work, talent and sheer force of personality); her lifestyle of debauchery is exalted as acceptable without raising eyebrows.

[@josephinepowell2242]

Down to Earth lovley lady , funny , and kind

[@joysynmonds9082]

I loved our Di. Came from neighbouring Swindon. A very down to earth lady.. She could put men right in their place. I got to see her in Cabaret, she was luscious to look at, funny to listen to, and at heart, just Diana Fluck. WYSIWYG. My heroin.

[@joysynmonds9082]

I Saw her at the White Buck, Burley, she was very beautiful, and her personality oozed honesty. God rest het soul. How sad for Alan and Jason. And then their early demises. So wrong ! Our Diana. Love always. ❤❤❤❤❤

Diana was more comparable to Jayne Mansfield. No one compares to Marilyn.

I liked her in ‘’Value For Money” and “An Alligator Named Daisy” but with uninteresting female co-stars like Susan Stephen and Jean Carson respectively, Diana was easily able to steal the limelight.
