Diana Dors never played a "dumb blonde", that image was foisted on her by her manager/husband. She was actually a professionally trained actress; look at her stage performances which aired on BBC later in life. Her early films emphasized her looks; not her acting. SIDEBAR: While in the states, she had an affair with Rod Stieger during a film they were in; Diana Dors was said to be very frank with men and if she liked them they had a relationship, she turned Bob Hope down many times, she said she was not interested.
