Respectable - Mary Millington

I was a teenager in the 70s so well remember Mary Millington and the David Sullivan empire from the time. I've just watched the documentary about her life "Respectable" on the Together channel and it is excellent.

It's a terribly sad story but huge respect particularly to David Sullivan (I never thought I would ever say that!) and Dave Cash for taking part and being so candid.

The DVD of Respectable is available - well worth it. For those who lived through those times, I'd say it's unmissable either on DVD or when Together repeat it.

Although you have missed out the use of drugs and the introduction of these substances by the husband of Diana Dors ....
Mary Millington was the girl next door that was ruined by the business and demonstrates has some things have no changed .
It appears in the UK Porn there is always a Victim being used and exploited.

Hello M25

Not just in Porn but also the Media, the industry takes an attention seeking wannabe, builds them up encourages them and brings them down.

Remember Imogen Hassall?

Hello Jonboy

I had to start a search for details regarding Imogen , and another victim.
It seems that life of another person is not as important as producing the product

But that too can be said for quite a few folks in the public eye , as well as the era ..

A Short link as found should folks want to know who Imogen Hassall was and what
she could do .

The documentary doesn't gloss over Mary's use of drugs - it's quite candid about it.
