The Unforgettable Diana Dors (2000)
Character: Self (archive footage)
Short documentary profiling the life of British 'Blonde Bombshell' Diana Dors, who died of cancer in 1984.

There is some interesting location work at Dors' lavish Sunningdale mansion and plenty of long-unseen film clips, but the documentary ultimately glosses over her scandalous, and often seedy, life.
