Dusty was a one off. Shame she was up against Cilla Black, who considered herself THE British vocal female icon of the day. For me, Dusty wiped the floor with her. She studied all kinds of music and worked closely with the Motown and Soul legends. 'Discovered' her music after she was gone and was utterly fascinated with her. Read quite a bit about her. What a life and character! Was gutted she passed so relatively young.
As a teenager in the late 80s, I was really into old films and movie stars. I remember I read both Diana Dors biographies from the library. I don't now remember much of it, apart from how glamorous it all seemed. I do remember some sex-related revelations about Bob Monkhouse, which slightly blew my mind at the time as I only knew him as a cheesy old gameshow host. I don't think it was anything that scandalous, just I'd been completely unaware of his promiscuous past and was agog at the idea anyone might fancy what I perceived to be an old man. Ah, the arrogance of youth!

His diaries are worth a read. Deliciously waspish.
A million light years from where it is now. I stopped watching it when Pat Phelan had some guy chained up in a basement. And Eastenders way before that. We need light relief not shouty angst and misery. Remember Corrie’s Blanche? Fab writing.
its scary how many famous people died in plane crashes
Yes, I agree. He had a rather unhappy last marriage, I've heard, and one of his wives died after an accident at a friend's party.
Do we ever learn? Honestly. If there is enough evidence, nobody should be exempt from facing justice. It's awful that there are people out there having been at the receiving end of the behaviours of some of these perps who know what they will have to go through if they ever spoke out. They will be the ones on trial, too, and some of them just won't want to have to relive what they have gone through. It's infuriating.I grew up watching DJ and I hope to god the stuff I have read is just people making it up. The one thing that gives me cause for concern is the things he is now coming out with as if he feels because of who he is, no one will care. More so since the guy who investigated Saville did say there were two other huge names out there he knows are guilty but they are untouchable because of who they are. He gave the names to the police who looked into it but since no one is willing to say anything or come forward, nothing can be done. He thinks like Saville, it will only be when they die that people will feel it's okay to tell their stories but it will be too late to do anything about it.
Man who exposed Jimmy Savile claims there are TWO other high-profile perverts
