Diana Dors was best received as an English actress and singer. She came to public notice as a blonde bombshell, much in the style of Americans Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and Mamie Van Doren. She was promoted by her first husband, Dennis Hamilton, mostly in sex film comedies and risqué modeling.
Diana Dors’s cause of death: What happened to Richard Dawson’s first wife?
Diana Dors was known to have died from ovarian cancer. It was revealed that, before her death, Dors had meningitis and twice underwent surgery to remove cancerous tumors. She collapsed at her home near Windsor with acute stomach pains and died on 4 May 1984, at the age of 52, at the BMI Princess Margaret Hospital in Windsor from a recurrence of ovarian cancer, first diagnosed two years before.
Dors had converted to Catholicism in early 1973; hence, her funeral service was held at the Sacred Heart Church in Sunningdale on 11 May 1984, conducted by Father Theodore Fontanari. She was buried in Sunningdale Catholic Cemetery.
