520 |a Examines Diana Dors’ film career, acting method, star image and enduring celebrityTraces the development of Dors’ film acting across five decades and a range of genresEmphasises the international nature of Dors’ stardom and film workCelebrates Dors’ achievements as a film actor with close textual analysis of her performances rather than dwelling on her personal life, publicity stunts and tabloid news coverageDiana Dors became one of Britain’s most successful sex symbols in the 1950s and remained a major celebrity until her death in 1984. This book examines both her acting method and her celebrity. It provides a detailed analysis of Dors’ performance in a number of her films from across different periods of her career, investigating her versatility by paying close attention to her voice, facial expressions and looks, body poses and gestures in specific moments from her movies. It also discusses the performance of gender and age, as well as considering her later role as a gay icon.
