Diana Dors (1931-1984) fue una actriz y sex-symbol británica, que además grabó numerosos singles y un álbum ('Swingin' Dors') como cantante. Sus primeros trabajos como actriz los realizó para la productora Rank y más tarde tuvo algunos papeles reconocidos, como su aparición en la película de 1956 'Yield To The Night', cuya trama aprovechaba el revuelo causado por la horca aplicada a la convicta Ruth Ellis que sería el último caso de pena capital en el sistema británico. A raíz de esa película y su implicación en el papel se hizo frecuente su interés y participación en actos benéficos en favor de presidiarios. Se aprovechó el éxito de la película para lanzarla como icono sexual, en un momento en que "rubias explosivas" como Marilyn Monroe o sus "imitadoras" Jayne Mansfield y Mamie Van Doren aparecían en las portadas de medio mundo. Pero eso quizás enterró su carrera y acabó participando en largometrajes de género más o menos erótico que exclusivamente pretendían potenciar su aspecto sexual.

Her early work was for the British production company Rank and later did some recognized work as her role in the 1956 film 'Yield To The Night', its plot taking advantage of the turmoil caused by the death penalty applied to female convict Ruth Ellis. Following her involvement with that role she took a growing interest and participation in charity events for inmates of the prison system. The success of the film caused her rising as a pin-up icon at a time when blondes like Marilyn Monroe or her "imitators" Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren appeared on the covers of many magazines around the world. But even though that gave her a name in neon lights and magazine covers it also probably disturbed her career as she later mostly participated in erotic films that only served for that blonde bombshell stereotype.
