Diana Dors, The Smiths e The Beatles


Diana Dors, the actress in the image, plays a nightclub owner who falls in love with the piano player. The piano player’s mistress is killed, and Dors is accused of the murder and sentenced to be executed. The story was a thinly veiled version of a real case involving a woman named Ruth Ellis, the last woman ever executed in Britain.


Diana Dors is included on The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover art as the blonde in the front row on the right in the gold dress and white gloves.

Descobri este traço comum entre entre os Smiths e os Beatles quando procurava informações sobre as capas dos álbuns dos Smiths - que são sempre fotos de actores/actrizes - e fiquei a conhecer a actriz britânica Diana Dors, nascida Diana Mary Fluck, que foi a Marilyn Monroe inglesa e aparentemente, a herança que deixou para o filho, quando morreu de cancro aos 53 anos em 1984, ainda anda perdida pelo mundo à espera que alguém descubra a sua localização!

18 months before her death, Diana had given her son an envelope containing a sheet of code. A code that she said would lead Dawson to a sum of £2,000,000 that she had hidden away in bank accounts and safety deposit boxes across Britain.
