Diana Dors in musical
NZPA London Blonde bombshell Diana Dors is to star as herself in a new musical opening in the West End next year. The starlet of the 1950 s who became a world-famous figure in the sixties is to reemerge in an extensive cast of actors, actresses and dancers helping to portray
her colourful, and sometimes painful, career. Rock impresario Simon Napier, who hopes to take the $580,000 production to Broadway, said: "She’s like a combination of Boadicea and Liberace. She is Britannia.” . Diana, 50, had her first screen show in "The Shop at Sly Comer,” when she was
14. She took Hollywood by storm in the 19505. and became the most famous British busty pin-up girl. She has been married three times and lives with her present husband, Alan Lake, in a luxury house at Sunningdale, Berkshire. Last year she added “oomph” to Shakespeare
when she was picked for one of the two principal women's roles in “Timon of Athens." She has written a book called the “A to Z of Showbu-' siness” and her’ autobiography, “Behind Closed Dors.” As well as the new show she is soon to star in a film with pop idol Adam Ant.
