Diana Dors (born Diana Mary Fluck; 23 October 1931 – 4 May 1984) was an English film actress and singer. She first came to public notice as a blonde bombshell in the style of American Marilyn Monroe, as promoted by her first husband, Dennis Hamilton, mostly via sex film-comedies and risqué modelling. After it turned out that Hamilton had been defrauding her, she continued to play up to her established image, and she made tabloid headlines with the parties reportedly held at her house

Diana Dors, born Diana Mary Fluck in Swindon, England, in 1931 was a film and TV actress promoted by Rank as a british Marilyn Monroe. After a 1960 swing-influenced album Swinging Dors, she released several singles up until the eighties. She also appeared on the cover for The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and in the video for Adam and The Ants' Prince Charming.

This 1960 album is a competent pop-jazz session, with accompaniment from the Wally Stott Orchestra (Stott perhaps being best known internationally for working in the '60s with Scott Walker, Dusty Springfield, and Shirley Bassey). Unlike many records by celebrities known mostly for acting, Swinging Dors isn't a novelty album, or an embarrassment. It's just a very straightforward swing jazz-flavored adult pop session, Dors singing much better, in the conventional sense, than her American counterpart Marilyn Monroe.
