National News magazine number 4 MINT Mary Millington on HMS Otter

Product Information

Oh! I'm sure Argoman will capture and transfer the clippings from my blogger over here to you all even if it proves I cannot.I will ask him. There were a few exceptions though and they pulled in good box office figures and some have gone on to become cult icons. Top of the tree was the tragic Mary Millington. Her coke habit and affairs with Diana Dors and former PM Harold Wilson guaranteed her notoriety. But you could tell instantly the moment she was on screen for she lent an air of class and glamour to even the most banal of films. Hardly as alluring as Millington but even more successful was male star Robin Askwith. He came to prominence (so to speak) in "Cool it Carol" (1970). In it he plays a young man who hightails it to London with his impressionable girlfriend only to get caught up in the seedier side of London. One of the film's hilariously cheesy highlights is the train and tunnel sequence.

In 2014, four spoken word erotic stories recorded by Millington in 1978–9 were released as a vinyl LP. [28] Read The Amazing Mary Millington Futura 1979 co wrote by Mary Millington David Weldon [her one time probation officer]. Mary married at aged 18yrs to Bob Maxted and was to stay married throughout her short life She was given her big chance in life when she was offered a job in a boutique as the manageress, all the time doing part time modelling nude, glamour and porn. It was whilst she was employed at the boutique she began to love the trappings of fame and vowed one day to be in the public eye.. Sheridan, Simon (30 November 2015). "Teaser Trailer for 'Respectable: The Mary Millington Story' ". Simon Sheridan . Retrieved 3 April 2016. Here is a (granted, far from complete) list of the magazines Mary appeared in. It falls apart a bit when it comes to the Sullivan ones which were never dated, as listing the Sullivan titles chronologically is pretty impossible then, I?ve listed some of them in bulk though obviously the likes of Playbirds, Whitehouse, National News, would have been published simultaneously. Suffice to say she probably appears in one form or the other in every Sullivan publication from her launch in the magazines in June 1975 till her death in August 1979, then of course there were various ?tribute? magazines that Sullivan was still turning out till the mid-eighties.

Sheridan's film features talking heads interviews from colleagues, friends and former lovers including adult magazine publisher David Sullivan, Radio 1 DJ Dave Cash, Dudley Sutton, Jess Conrad, Linzi Drew, Edward Tudor Pole, Stanley Long and Diana Dors and Alan Lake's son, Jason (his parents don't come out of this too well; Lake is described as a volatile drunk and leech, whilst Dors is something of a pimp who even asked Millington to be her son's 16th birthday present to 'break him in'). One person declined to be interviewed however, and that's Millington's husband, Bob. Given that, at the time of her death, the pair were negotiating a divorce which, it is said, Bob was unhappy with the financial arrangements of, much suspicion has landed on the man who ultimately became the sole beneficiary of his wife's will and contributors to the film who lean towards the theory that Millington's death was not as cut and dried as the coroner's inquest found air their suspicions here. The Oberon class was a direct follow on of the Porpoise-class, with the same dimensions and external design, but updates to equipment and internal fittings, and a higher grade of steel used for fabrication of the pressure hull.

A posthumous film about her life was released in 1980, entitled Mary Millington's True Blue Confessions. [24] In 1996, Channel Four screened a tribute to her entitled Sex and Fame: The Mary Millington Story, featuring an interview with David Sullivan. [25] Mary became renowned as a model and actress star of Sullivans cinema release Come Play With Me [1977] the Brit comedy that outsold any sex/comedy of its era and is still today the biggest box office success in that genre.It ran twice and made twice as much money second time around.It ran alongside the first 'Superman' and at one point for six consecutive weeks even beat that. She starred in many other films pre and post Sullivan relationship with her, notably Queen of the Blues The Playbirds etc but none of them [although they were in fact successful] were to equal the success and fame of 'Come Play With Me' It was one chance adventure that gave her the break she needed. One day whilst out on her lunch break in a coffee shop she met Scottish photographer John Lindsay [he of hard core fame], it was not long before she stumbled into film and progressed to doing 'hard/core' particularly for Lindsay mostly abroad, under various pseudonyms.He loved Mary and introduced her to Porn Magnate David Sullivan [who is owner of Play/birds Whitehouse empire] He too loved Mary, they had a relationship even though Mary was married [as events turned out there was much ambivalence between Mary's husband and Sullivan even though Mary tried to keep both the relationship and the two men apart] Sullivan promoted and made Mary big in film and although she could not [by her own admission] sing or act, she was to progress to great things and become Millington [she had always been known as Maxted before meeting Sullivan]. Sullivan invented the name Millington to augment her career in the mags and said she was the sister of the then Whitehouse editor Doreen Millington [utter rubbish] but all the same it helped sell his mags. Millington has been described as one of the "two hottest British sex film stars of the seventies", the other being Fiona Richmond.
