Dorothy Squires, an ex of Roger Moore, another sad life. My dad didn’t like RM because of the way he treated DS. I am not old enough to know much about DS. RM, as charming as he was, was a bit cavalier with his many wives affections. His autobiography sort of glossed over his less than charming traits.

I don't know who she was, but was the play called Steaming? It was written by Nell Dunn of Poor Cow fame, and later made into a film starring Diana Dors and Sarah Miles

This week’s big film premiere is Sidney J. Furie’s 1964 drama The Leather Boyson Saturday at 9.30pm, in which the swift marriage of a young couple begins to crumble after husband Reggie meets a handsome mod. This classic British filmhas a fantastic cast that includes Rita Tushingham, Dudley Sutton, Colin Campbell, Dandy Nichols and Johnny Briggs. Set at the Ace café, there are brilliant locations and a must for bikers!

Can anyone recommend any Decent podcasts about old stars like this forum?
Ideally on spotify. Or stories behind old movies.

There's one I listen to but I can't STAND the woman's voice/ intonation.
sometimes it creeps me out if I fall asleep then wake up and hear her (think it's 'you must remember this ')

Thanks
