  SwindonWeb - Guide to Swindon - Swindon People - Diana Dors
Diana Dors may never have lived up to her billing as "Britain's answer to Marilyn Monroe", but the Swindon-born actress was certainly the darling of the British post-War movie industry and when she died, sadly, aged only 52, she had long since become one of the country's best-known and best-loved actresses.
Diana, who had to wear a patch as a young girl to correct a lazy eye, had naturally brown hair, but by the time she was eight, the pupil at the private Selwood House School in Bath Road was already writing essays about becoming a glamorous film star.
Diana Dors was possibly one of the most underrated actresses of her time and certainly one of the most recognisable British faces since the war, and still is.
