Diana Dors – Oh For Fluck’s Sake. From Kenny Denton's memoir "There Ain't No Rules In Rock n Roll"

Place -Studio Two, Pye Recording Studios, LondonTime – 1970Guest visitor – Diana DorsDiana Dors, born Diana Fluck, was Britain’s answer to Marilyn Monroe. Her likeness appears on the cover of the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. After her death in 1984 she was acclaimed as a national treasure.Talking about her real name she once said,“They asked me to change my name. I suppose they were afraid that if my real name, Diana Fluck, was in lights, and one of the lights blew…”Whilst working on a session in studio two with Dave Hunt and the producer Miki Dallon, who was working on an album with the artist Don Fardon, Diana Dors called in to see Don.During a break in recording Diana told the following story from her early days.After returning to England from Hollywood many years before, she was invited back to her hometown of Swindon, to be honoured by the Mayor in a ceremony to celebrate her achievements in the movie industry.He was to open his speech with,“We are here today so we can welcome back from Hollywood and honour a truly unique star, the World knows her as Diana Dors but to us she will always remain our very own, Diana Fluck.”At this point Diana now rising from her chair said,“The speech actually went like this. The Mayor, who was slightly nervous of making the obvious mistake said, we are here today so we can welcome back from Hollywood and honour a truly unique star, the World knows her as Diana Dors, but to us she will always remain our very own, DIANA CLUNT.”We all collapsed with laughter, I could see Diana enjoyed telling the story as, I am sure, she had done many times before.I only wished someone at the time had asked her what her reaction was on that day.
