I agree Nigel, Carole Lesley was extremely attractive. IIRC she was, at some point, being 'groomed' for stardom (poss Rank Charm School) but she never seemed to quite make it out of the middle tiers.
I thought she gave a very good supporting performance in DRESSING GOWN and showed some potential of what might have been had she got a 'chunky' role like La Dors got in YIELD TO THE NIGHT.
But - sadly - it's a precarious profession filled with egos that need to be boosted, and other insecurities. I don't know - perhaps she was feeling her age, or the good roles were thinning out, and she chose to do what she did. Another tragedy....why ?
