Britt Ekland was one of the most legendary frosty blondes of the 1970s. She had it all; the looks, the talent, and the charm. She was once destined for super-stardom-but love derailed her journey every step of the way.

[@richardshiggins704]

Sellers was an evil Svengali type . Never liked him . A control freak . Britt made some very bad choices in her life when it came to men . She undoubtedly was talented .

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

I always found Sellers very unfunny. Rather tiresome actually. He was just a glorified clown.

[@jacquelynalexander7168]

Unfortunately, true of many women

[@jackiepowell7513]

Def sounded like push/pull dynamic which I lived 11 yrs. W marriage. Ugh

[@stevejones1921]

I always thought Sellers was a psychopath. Not a funny one either.

[@Archetti62]

Not funny at all. It was the script writers who wrote the funninesses.

[@aprilsky8474]

She was so beautiful . Could have done much better than these creeps she dated.

[@kojikicklighter371]

Peter was an unfunny, bitter weirdo. I never liked his schtick.

[@SPHau]

Like John Lennon ( whos music im a big fan of) Sellers was a perfect example of self obsessed celebrity.

[@miapdx503]

Yes, I think his reputation as an actor is overblown, like his ego.

[@tammylewis2408]

@@SPHau More like Jerry Lewis, Seller's American counterpart. Jerry's comedic talents rivaled that of Sellers with movies such as The Nutty Professor, but unlike Sellers, Jerry had dramatic roles such as The King of Comedy. Jerry treated his sons horribly, especially his musician son Gary Lewis. He was jealous of Gary when Gary hit it big in the mid-60s with his band The Playboys, who had a string of hits such as This Diamond Ring, Everyone Loves a Clown, (She's) Just My Style, Green, Green Grass, Count Me In, and others. Jerry also cut his sons from his will and left everything to his second wife and daughter. His partnership with Dean Martin was marred by jealousy over Dean being the most likable of the duo.

[@CarolShook-yg9nn]

I was bored stiff by the pink panther movies I never laughed once.

[@efitz3397]

How many beautiful women are treated badly by the men they become involved with? My own mother was a stunner and my father was possessive while not treating her like the amazing, clever, loving and hardworking woman she is. She left him after twelve years and wasn’t lucky in love until later in life. I don’t take after her in looks and I never went out with any guy that chased me. I asked out my men and have been very successful and happy. I’m in my mid 60’s now and was envious of beauty until I began to see it as the burden it is!

[@user-vs1tc3kj3z]

So very true!

[@laraoneal7284]

Great observation.

[@peterkenny3994]

She was absolutely stunning and could of done much better in life but for the losers that ruined her career, god bless her, ❤❤❤,

[@bettyprice7428]

Me either.

[@fleuger99]

Great vid, thanks for the detailed info. Peter Sellers sounded like an insecure baby. Britt Ekland was out of his league. She was beautiful.

[@Factinate]

She really was! Thank you for the comment.

[@katarinatibai8396]

I guess he was a narcissist.

[@Lululila67]

sellers was nuts.

[@katsiduzynski488]

Swedish women in the late 19th century were sometimes taken advantage of. My ex's grandmother emigrated to the USA to join older brothers already in the US. She was in Stockholm and left tiring of men wanting her to be their mistress. Crazy times. She worked as a housekeeper then. Was from the countryside.

[@Odo55]

What happened with her after her move to America ?

[@a.m.9474]

Marry in haste, repent at leisure

[@hjd832]

Definitely ! In interviews ( Parkinson) he’s obviously very talented, charming & funny,…..but probably a nightmare to live with. I love the sketch he did with Dudley Moore & Peter Cook, where he plays a prizefighter/ artist . Still one of the best comedy sketches ever made .❤😅

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

I never liked Sellers but I remember fan-girling Britt back in the day because she was so beautiful and interesting.

[@scottsimmons7897]

I've never understood the public appeal for Sellers. He isn't funny. He just liked to act weird and monopolized the movies I saw him in.

[@alysontaylor393]

Their daughter Victoria became a high class call girl working for Heidi who got busted with all the Hollywood names in her little black book ...

[@TawnyC_]

I hope Victoria is okay.

[@maryanneevans9563]

Britt was so beautiful. I've been a life long fan of hers since I had a photo of her in my scrapbook in the late 60's.❤

[@judys6663]

Wow! a controlling, Inadequate bully . The poor girl .

[@cynthiacarr2093]

❤😁💯👏🏾👏🏾 Very Good! But what was in the letter? Maybe I missed it😁

[@bebeautiful6613]

lol me to 😅 After I did a rewind, I found it at 15:15 😂 long after she’d been divorced from him ❤

[@lydialaurans8473]

Thanks for pinpointing the exact spot where the letter is described . You exposed the truth behind the title ‐ pretty dull. But the bio was interesting. Thanks to you, , Gentle Reader!

[@rainbowgirl4038]

I thought her exs got custody of the children

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

I never could stand Peter Sellers. I never could understand his appeal at all. He was and is completely overrated. Britt Ekland, now in her eighties, has battled osteoporosis for many years.

[@bellsca1917]

I think I missed the letter that changed everything for her 🤔

[@carolinejohnson22]

I like Peter Sellars in films, but what a nightmare in real life. He also had a major crush on Sophia Loren 😅😅

[@alyssstout8112]

Never liked her. Never liked him. However, this narrator is fantastic!

[@madeleine7411]

Your video's are outstanding...I never miss one. Thank you. Peter Sellers was a selfish manipulator. Not a nice guy.

[@carolcollins4546]

Never been a fan of Peter Sellers.

[@jessriggio2603]

He was punching above his weight and he knew it

[@maxb4074]

Sellers was a very strange man.

[@Lkydo8165]

Always enjoy this narrator a lot better than the other ones he sounds a lot like the narrator from the Van Ballion Channel

[@hoboonwheels9289]

AI?

[@creeper8647]

I've reached the point where I automatically cancel any video with fake narration. It's a fight to keep living in the real world.

[@Verrill82]

I only watch Factinate vids with this narrator. I find the others jarring, this narrator has a smooth, calming voice

[@Era515]

He sounds a lot like Robert Carlyle.

[@ZSC92]

Sellars went after a possession. Ugh

[@christinahagglund8510]

My relative on her mothers side in Stockholm Sweden.. Roths från Ångermanland in the north of Sweden.

[@12thDecember]

Peter Sellers, yuck. Also, I think it's almost a given that if you marry someone within 10 days of meeting, things will not turn out well, unless you happen to be very, very lucky. Let's keep this narrator for all the Factinate episodes. 😊♥

[@Archetti62]

Met her at a signing in 70's and again in 2000's and found her to be not only gorgeous but modest and likeable and gracious. I also remember the poise. A really classy lady. Sellers was way overrated.

[@ellengundy4714]

Letter?

[@bebeautiful6613]

15:15

[@lydialaurans8473]

Thanks for your revelation of a not-too-shocking spy act by Sellers.

[@lancedom6349]

So did anyone watch a pink panther movie all the way through and then become a fan?? I’m thinking not so much, I could be wrong.

[@alyssstout8112]

lol……you’re not wrong. 😂

[@JaneAxon123]

Yes, but when I was a kid... not watched them as an adult.

[@ravenmckinnon5526]

I watched all of them

[@darlenepaul2918]

Yes...I loved them!

[@forgipper]

Never found them- or him- funny.

[@tisenhow]

Wait, what? She went from Sellers to Rod Stewart??? 😂

[@lindamillar2505]

I dont like Rod either maybe Brit should have went to Specsavers 😂

[@nigelyoung1616]

I thought he was very talented and very funny, could act too (see Being There), but a frail and troubled human being. Became famous beyond a level he could cope with… like so many.

[@bigbear8645]

Men derailed her. Not love.

[@mimib824]

Loved the clever “demon” appearance when talking about William Friedkin! Love your videos! 🤩

[@CatherineComerford-n8b]

She was a very beautiful woman.And a very good actor.

[@WyomingGuy82201]

Top notch video; the narrator is THE BEST.

[@ervicito77]

That little millisecond snippet of that frightening face from The Exorcist... well-done in creeping me out late at night unexpectedly 9:55

[@linferguson8702]

Never realised what a bully sellers was. Poor Britt 😢😢

[@klassonder2508]

Beautiful Woman…

[@BJsEsotericMusings-nq4lr]

She was so pretty. Too bad she fell in the trap of plastic surgery. It's ruined many a pretty face. ✌️🌷😊💝

[@VixGB]

It's a James one! Will watch and enjoy 😊

[@heidibee501]

I'm guessing there is more to this story, but so far, so good.

[@josephdugan4797]

Always enjoyed their films. Glad you slipped in the wicker man at the end. Didn't know sellers was such a control freak. His work was uneven, but when he was good he was brilliant. She was a real icon of the 70s. I believe the rod Stuart song Maggie May is about her.

[@ClaireH1418]

So what was the letter?

[@mariacastro2682]

The letter contents?

[@melaniesmith1313]

So Sellers took her to see one of HIS movies on a first date? Really classy....

[@bruce8808]

Britt was mostly into movies although I do remember seeing her as a guest star on The Six Million Dollar Man and Starsky & Hutch.

[@neveo9428]

The title of this is a lie ie no letter

[@lisagrl89m.67]

Breathtakingly beautiful

[@lt7378]

Britt eckland was beautiful for sure, but she sounds like an awful individual inside.

[@rainbowgirl4038]

She was!

[@cynthiarouse]

She was too hot for him. 🎉

[@lisasaims3007]

I never liked him, she seems like she cha$ed the $$$ & the guy$ that had it, easy peasy, why work?

[@Lakelandluvsdollz]

Yup, I don't like either of them

[@katthefantastic]

I grew up loving Sellers...then, as an adult, I learned how horrific he truly was. HBO did a great documentary over him. Britt is stunning in the original WickerMan.❤

[@imemovengeance]

If he can pulled a chick like her then what is my problem dang

[@efitz3397]

Using the word ‘chick?’ You asked! 😅

[@jennyjacques573]

She a Olivia Newton John could be sisters.❤

[@anyatranter5588]

She was beautiful,I never found him funny.

[@keepitsimple4629]

I must've missed it....what did Sellars' letter say that ended their marriage?

[@lindamillar2505]

I thought Brit was very pretty when she was young

[@laraoneal7284]

She’s 80 now and looks beautiful.

[@mariew8112]

i never liked or watched sellers couldnt take to him

[@MarisaPaola-um5yb]

i cant see what she would see in sellers..

[@CCopperpot]

I see you Captain Howdy.

[@janettekeating3746]

He thought he was funny I never saw it

[@anaccount8474]

She dumped a guy for being a bit boring. That's womanese for her treated her with respect. I feel no sympathy for this ridiculous woman.

[@Lakelandluvsdollz]

she is overrated. Don't like her or Peter Sellers

[@kidkanoo]

She is a bit controlling herself.

[@efitz3397]

Oh yeah! She should have been grateful….its every woman’s dream to have a boring man! 😂

[@bebeautiful6613]

I truly enjoy this!! No complaints. Very well done… ❤Except it took until 15:15 to fined out about the letter 😂 I had to rewind because it was bleeped over so fast 😂 I really did find her story interesting . I was just don’t know why it took so long to hear about the letter. 😅

[@bettyprice7428]

He sure was so insecure!

[@nancyking9033]

So naturally pretty

[@eyeseeeee]

not him saying "what modern linguist call the ick" 😂😂

[@freden9234]

Anyone else remember Britt’s stories on a TV talk show about the poltergeist activity at their Los Angeles home?

[@cynthiarouse]

She was the good type of Stockholm Syndrome…. 🎉❤🎉

[@JanetCaterina]

How fascinating. Slice of history

[@bonniemagpie9960]

Britt was hypnotized. Sellers was a Shit.

[@1flat5th]

Rod Stewart wotta farthing khoont

[@carolinejohnson22]

She wasnt a socialite as a child and teen. I think you mean socialist.........😅

[@TheHandsomeman]

Anyone with great looks can handle women easy, the woman makes it easy.

[@TheHandsomeman]

@@coollady2179 Quite a few women would disagree with you!

[@stephaniehand503]
