The Official Diana Dors Website and Archive.
This site is dedicated to the memory of Britain's most famous
Blonde Bombshell of the 1950's, Diana was a great
actress and television personality until her death in 1984. I hope that
this site is informative and more than just a picture gallery.
The Diana behind the image was only allowed to come to the fore when age
inevitably began to bury that sylph-like figure underneath more matronly
proportions. She became a character actress of considerable talent and then
a personality seen frequently on television and heard on the radio. But it
was her regular spot on TVam which enchanted
millions.
On TVam Diana was famous for her 'Slim-in' with
the Dors Dozen, openly flaunting those extra stones. In 'Open Dors', an
Agony Aunt slot which followed, she answered viewers
problems with a vision and depth that could only have come from living a
life to the full. Above all, we knew she really cared. She possessed an
unforgettable warmth and sincerity in her eyes and winning smile.
Few knew these disguised the agony and trauma of a cancerous tumour which
she was trying valiantly and courageously to overcome. When Diana died we
all felt we had lost a friend, a member of the family. At Diana's funeral
at the Sacred
Heart Church
in Sunningdale Berkshire on May
11 1984, Father Theodore Fontanari
read one of the countless letters and postcards of tribute that had come
flooding in. It said:
"I am without
faith. I know that something is missing in my life. Like millions I loved
our dear Diana, not as a sex goddess, film star, but as a genuine person
who one could feel would befriend you. My heart is saddened. Without her
lovely being, our world is much poorer. I will now search for what she had
found".
