  • It's time to celebrate the swinging dame of Swindon Diana Dors. Diana was hailed as the British Marilyn Monroe. But I would argue she carved out her own path, and the only similarity was hair color. Diana was a force in acting and celebrity and I am excited to tell you all about her.

    My father the actor Lionel Jeffries and my mother Eileen were her great friends- and became her godparents when she converted to catholicism. Dad cast her in her break out character part Mrs Wickens (when she had grey hair and warts!) in The Amazing Mr Blunden 1972. She was my auntie Di. A lovely kind down to earth woman and very much missed. I knew Alan well and her son Jason - too much tragedy. Thank you for this lovely tribute to her xx 💋

    I love these series Miss Jaymes!!! Not only do we get a fierce wig recreation but we get to learn about some interesting artists of the past that some people may not even be aware of. As far as iconic blondes go I would LOVE to see you do Dusty Springfield or Tammy Wynette, two different singers but both had very interesting life stories and some very iconic hairstyles!!!

    I would love to see you cover Diana Rigg on Iconic Brunettes! She's had such a great acting career on tv and in film and I'd love to learn more about her (I remember watching her the first time as Mrs. Hardbroom in The Worst Witch!). She always had such great hair too. Also, I think Margot Kidder would be a great Iconic Brunette as she went from scream queen to Lois Lane!

    great choice Jaymes, i love Diana!!❤ i had heard of her and had only seen her two episodes of 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents' tv show from the sixties. but during lockdown i did a deep dive into her english fifties films, very interesting. the british cinema was quite different than hollywood, with the actors there trading off from the lead roles to supporting roles from film to film. i watched about eight Dors films and was surprised to see she was not always in the leading role. she had great depth as an actress tho. my favorites were 'Yield to the Night' (b&w), 'A Kid for Two Farthings', 'Value for Money' (both in color), and 'Tread Softly Stranger' where she was sexy as hell and gave a fantastic performance!💘💝💖💓

    Please do an Evita Peron look. Either an updoo like her earlier years, or the pulled back later look with ornate braids or curls. A snood moment too??? Bring back my snood!! You could make a snood out of tiny braids with sparkling bead at the intersections. Yes Jaymes, going to keep asking. Also, please consider a collaboration with Wilma Fingerdoo. Loved you with Maddy. Shocked to discover you are really a straight woman... Gasp!!!!

    @MichelleOlivetti Před rokem

    Wonderful you present Diana Dors, and yes I really love her hairstyle. I think it was the best of all. Diana played a number of roles including serious drama, my favorite movie is "I Married A Woman" probably because her hairstyle was so wonderful and she dressed glamorously. I think what bombed her Hollywood career was her the falling into a swimming pool at a Hollywood party. And if Hedda Hopper writes a bad opinion about you, you are done regardless the talent.
    Quite fascinating to see how you assembled the wig. There is a online store I found a few years ago that does custom wigs, I inquired if they can make a Diana Dors wig. It appears you do it better. I saw how you prepped it and various stages. Gets me thinking of how to take generic wig and manipulating it to a specific style. Wearing a wig with a Diana Dors style should feel wonderful like wearing a beautiful dress. Now that is something I want to do, the hairstyle and the mermaid gown Diana wore when she visited the Queen in 1956.
    There is a British bio pic about Diana, an actress for the younger Diana, another for the older Diana. There was a part in the film during 1960s someone says to Diana, "older people forgot about you, the younger people laugh at you" which illustrates the attitude changes from 50s to 60s. Earlier in film where Diana is at home talking ahout a need for a stage name, "Diana Dors, something like Greta Garbo." But her father says, "Fluck has been good enough for me family and it will be good enough for you!"
    Overall, a good bio about Diana Dors. She also sang well and released a couple albums. But like all blonde bombshells she died relatively young (unlike Mamie Van Doren). I remember discovering Diana in 1984, I went to a library, one of the staff asked if she can help me find something which I mentioned Dors and she said "oh she just died." I still looked for magazine articles. Later bought VHS tape of her movies.

    You're a brilliant storyteller, Jaymes! And a beautiful queen! Just one note, the next time you do a wig recreation make sure the wig you wearing from the beginning of the video doesn't looks similar to the wig you're recreating, so that the 'final result' feels like something new, like you reveal something, and not just put the same wig on ya.
