    I'm old enough to remember her from the 70's. As a young man I knew her for all the 'young man' reasons, lol But as an adult I watched the tv documentary about her life, she really was a trail blazer, yes she had a chequered life but I'd encourage folk to watch the tv doc and find out more about Mary. She was a human being and certainly didn't deserve the trouble she attracted from the likes of Mary Whitehouse and indeed the Police. The Harold Wilson connection is very interesting too. RIP Mary Millington.

    I grew up as a spotty teenager enjoying Mary's content ( boys will be boys) and I am sure there will be the usual people out there who will criticize her for the way she earned a living, but I feel she had a kind heart and she did what she did for the right reasons particularly looking after her mum, she was without doubt a vulnerable person who had a tough life and as is often the case in life unscrupulous people took advantage of her, I also think she stood for what she believed in and was a fighter, I think the establishment were out to get her, the police in particular and in the end she couldn't deal with it all. Rip Mary, bless you. xxxx

      David Sullivan was very careful not to have photos of his dick all over magazines. He encouraged her into things he would never do himself which is how you know somebody is manipulative.
      Mary was very beautiful and her lifestyle was hers to choose which was fine. The manipulative men in her life deserve most of the blame for Mary's demise. A hypocritical society also held a lot of blame. Many women in the 60's appeared nude in movies but because it was 'artful' that was OK apparently.
      Many young adolescent guys in particular appreciated finding a discarded magazine containing Mary, helping many through teenage years. She was ahead of her time in her bravery but suffered greatly from the hypocrisy of society. The prudish elements of society set out to destroy her, the 2 faced politicians who used her services did the same, allegedly including Harold Wilson, then Prime Minister, the bent coppers charging her protection money for her sex shop also ended up doing the same and for what, choosing to do with her own body that which was her right to do.
      Sadly, when someone becomes a commodity, there is always a vile 'businessman' seeking to exploit that commodity. Beautiful Lady gone far too soon.

No one would wish this type of life for a sister, daughter, niece or grand daughter. May she rest in peace.

And she nursed her mum for ten years. And yes Paul you are so right Mary needed to pay for her mums care what a wonderful person she was. And that industry paid well I definitely don't blame her for that. Good for her I say. Thank you Paul for yet another remembrance so very nicely done. You are undoubtedly the very best.

He interviewed her. I had no idea who she was at the time. She went into explicit detail about two items that she always kept in her handbag and where she would place these items, I couldn't believe what I was hearing on a live radio show.

    Another great video Paul. I really liked this particular cemetery, beautiful.
    I also very much liked the old church, especially the ornate, well I think they're ornate lol, steel hand railings leading up to the main door.
    Although I'm not a very religious person, I find old churches so peaceful. It's the calmness that encapsulates the dwelling. Ideal if one is wanting to escape a crappy day for a minute or two.
    Like Mary Millington, I to suffer from depression, and on one occasion in my life i came close to cashing in my one way ticket to the big sky, but fortunately I coward out.
    Sad to see ppl leave this world due to extreme stresses of life.
    This video touched me more than any other so far.
    And I'm sorry that at times i'm sharing so much on your comment section. Thing is I really don't have anyone that I feel comfortable enough to share these thoughts, not that I would anyway as I'm that type of person who keeps all that locked in, but for whatever reason I can open up and talk about stuff on your channel. Maybe it's the anonymity of it. Be heard but not seen.
    In any case I find doing so cathartic for me. It helps.

    Excellent presentation again Paul, I was around at this time (in my 20s) but cant remember this very troubled and pressured young woman hassled by society and persecuted by the various enforcement people...peace at last although yet another young life ended way to soon..respect Paul till the next one..

    Every one has a story. And you have a big heart telling them god bless you. You will be fit all the walking exorcise you get. Keep it up. My gran was the same she while I was in the RAF went to every cemetery I was based near in many countries as well. She died at 96. Was delivering babies in her eighty’s

    I'm old enough to remember her. What a shame! She was years ahead of her time. Today, no one would bat and eyelid, but way back then, "Well I never", the prides would say. Well, in private, they would never admit to their own feelings. Would they? She was dragged before awful news headlines as a wrong person. But no! She was a human being like the rest of us. Some folk pretend to be whiter than white. Hmmmm? God bless you Mary,

    Tragic story Paul. I remember the name but not the face. What a beautiful Church and graveyard, typically English. I also loved the brick and red tile house next to the Church, probably the vicarage.

    She was the same height as me, 4ft 11. Bless her. I vaguely remember her and her death being in the news.
    Pleased you actually were able to visit the church this time, Paul. Well done. 👍😃

    A lovely tribute to a lovely lady.
    Is there any chance you can find the resting place of 1960's/70's actor Allan Cuthbertson? He died in 1987 and lived at Surbiton , London, but all searches for his grave have come up blank. months and months of searching have been fruitless. A real mystery.

    Hi Paul..I don’t remember this lady but it’s so heartbreaking and very sad to think how she was treated ..So young as well …So respectfully done ..Thankyou Paul I really enjoy your videos..I’m so glad that you eventually got in to a church…I have the same problem doing my genealogy …Best wishes 👍

    The hypocrisy and ironies of society have not been lost on me. I truly believe she was what one would consider to be a good person! She was paying the police for protection, yet getting raided in spite of this.

    Hi Paul,
    Thank you.
    I guess Mary's life reflects that of many, that started life struggling from the outset.
    She had to survive on those few opportunities that came her way.
    Without perhaps realising it at the time she found injustice and tried to right these wrongs.
    Perhaps if she lived longer she would have seen justice finally reward her.
    Lovely church inside , keep trying the door's, we appreciate it.
    Excellent

    Hi once again a great video. You truly do give everyone you cover the greatest of respects. I googled Mary Maxted and found that she starred in On The Buses playing Irises mother. The episode is called Private Hire. Best wishes and keep up the great work. Matt

    Lovely video Paul as always, i showed a lot of Marys films in the 70s and 80s when i was a Cinema Projectionist they all did excellent business very much like the Confessions Films did at the time, and yes a record run of nearly 4 years for her film "Come Play With Me" her biggest success at the CLASSIC Moulin Cinema Soho London. I feel a lot of people at the top made a lot of money out of Mary this is how it goes sometimes in the Entertainment industry. Thanks for all the information what a sad life she had Bless her now at peace out of this mad world! - Thanks Paul always enjoy your very intersting videos - Stay Safe. - Mark
