Please join me in this video, Tragic Life and Death of Actress Imogen Hassall.
I take flowers to Imogen Hassall's final resting place and explore the roller coaster ride that was her life. This is the story of her tragic life & death, we explore her biography and visit her grave.
Imogen Hassall was known as "The Countess of Cleavage" because her glamorous figure and celebrity lifestyle often overshadowed her acting. Imogen was born on August 25th, 1942, in Woking Surrey.
Imogen Hassall was a Shakespearean-trained actress she was often typecast because of her striking good looks as a B-movie starlet in the late 60s and early 70s.
Imogen Hassall's fame was brief, and she never became a star in her own right, much to her chagrin. Imogen Hassall died on November 16, 1980, at the age of 38, in London, from an overdose of sleeping pills.

Thanks for posting this. I was a close friend of her brother Nicholas and so glad you mentioned him. He didn’t always live in a caravan but I wondered how you knew. I had the sad job of clearing his stuff out of a caravan about a year after he had died. A talented musician and composer. I knew him from when I was a teenager till he died.

@BeautifulBadandBizarre Жыл бұрын

Hi Tricia! Thank you so much for your comment! I found it really difficult to find anything out about Nicholas - I scoured the internet, newspapers books etc - I managed to glean small amounts about him - including a music book he’d contributed to - I’d have loved to have found more!

That’s so lovely! Do you know why he never became more well known? From what I could understand he was very private - also if you don’t mind me asking - did he look like Imogen - she was just stunning!

I've never forgotten her, she was absolutely fabulous. Its so sad as if she would've just held on I can think of so many countless parts in film and TV she would've been made for!

I’ve got to say I watch a few of these programs where people find the graves of famous or infamous people and this lady is probably the best I’ve watched with her clear and sympathetic voice and that sweet touch of putting flowers on the grave. There’s a lot of famous people buried around my location but my favourite is Alexandra Bastedo one of the most gorgeous women on the planet. She’s next to her husband in a tiny little graveyard with just a couple of dozen graves but a beautiful location.

In all walks of life there are many people who are born never to make old bones. Sadly Imogen Hassall was one. When your family, due to talent live in the glare of the public spotlight, your path is laid out.Young gifted in the early years of Swinging London,being part of the changing scene. Being a professional entertainer came easily, and she played the part well.Her natural beauty and her figure were superb. Yet the Gods balance the ledger. She burnt brightly, like other stars ⭐ but was snuffed out far too soon 😢❤ l pray that she is now at peace ❤

A very sad story. Dear Ms. Hassall has been a favourite of mine for many years. I agree about "Carry On Loving." She was fantastic in that, and such a shame she didn't do more. As for "The Persuaders," well, yes, as you stated, it was shown in 1971, yet Imogen was in the pilot (first) episode called "Overture." That was filmed in 1970 at Pinewood Studios (interiors) and the Cote d' Azur (locations.) I also believe that Ms. Hassall's grave has been tidied and cleaned, along with flowers placed, from members of the FB Imogen Hassall group. Lovely roses you put there and a tasteful video tribute.

What a lovely, affectionate and informative tribute to the gorgeous artist, Imogen Hassell. Of course, her looks attracted everyone, but she had superb timing, especially in comedy, which was not nearly exploited enough. Quite rightly, the narrator (Shar?) points out her wonderful appearance in Carry on Loving (1970)/ her rapport with Terry Scott was pure magic, but is so often in life people who are given natural gifts in one area often struggle in others. What a pity she just didn’t settle down with a nice fella who would love and support her. No one could’ve done much to help a baby born so prematurely, but - for sure - we all felt listening to this we wanted to give her a massive hug… for indeed she was clearly a very kind person. I say that as comments made by everyone who worked with her all say the same thing. Thank you for making this lovely tribute. I shall see many more of her films, but I do remember her appearance on The Persuaders which has come out in a stunning new Blu-ray transfer. It looks like it was made yesterday. It’s about time the Carry On films also receive the same treatment. But I’m going off piste. I do hope that Shar makes more videos like this. She has an obvious flair for it. But please do not pronounce then letter “H” “Haitch”. I’m fighting a losing battle. But who cares what I think. I’d still give this video 10/10 and wish Shar the very best of health, without which, life can be just misery. Time for my bedtime gin.

I’m really enjoying perusing your video archive. You do a marvellous job of instilling interest in celebrities with whom I’m only barely familiar. You’re honouring these stars as the very human beings they were. It’s something you deserve to be proud of. BTW, what exactly do you consider a “blistering hot” day in England? (Australian asking)

One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Just stunning. Obviously know her best from Carry On Loving but as a big horror fan remember her in Incense for the Damned with Patrick Macnee, Patrick Mower and Peter Cushing. She was also in an episode of Jason King.

She indeed left a lasting impression with her roles, and it's fantastic that you remember her from Carry On Loving, Incense for the Damned, and Jason King, I have to admit I have not seen Jason King but will look out for it! Her versatility as an actress was truly commendable 🌟

Thank you for this I know it was a tragic end but will learn more about Imogen now. ‘ Loving ‘ is one of my top 4 of the films and never get bored of watching this. Amazing scene when Terry goes to ‘ The Grubbs’ home and their all sat in the living room. Imogen ( Jenny Grubb ) says to Terry ‘ I have put it in ‘ - Terrys face ‘ Pardon’ ? to which Jenny says ‘ The sugar ‘. Great all star cast in this about a dating agency and who can ever forget Cooking fat - well it sounded like they called it that 😂 ❤️❤️

@Beautiful Bad and Bizarre Loved them since the first time I watched it when I was a kid. It was introduced on our ABC network (American Broadcasting Company) in the USA! What a wonderful series! Iwatching it on a free channel through Prime. I never saw the movie version starring Ralph Finnes and Uma Thurman. A lot of people said it was awful. Finnes a great John Steed, but Thurman in the lead, nope. Should have been a British actress instead. But that's just my opinion. Thanks for these stories. I'll keep watching!

I've seen many, if not most episodes of 'The Saint' and 'The Avengers' and once you've watched Imogen her face and figure are never likely to be forgotten. But for some reason I still used to confuse her with Patsy Ann Noble and there was certainly a passing resemblance, especially on a b&w television. There weren't many beautiful actresses from her era who lasted too much longer than her, although Francesca Annis comes to mind. At least nowadays there are more female writers and directors who ensure that interesting parts are still fairly abundant for actresses of all ages. But I'm sorry for her somewhat unfulfilled life because she deserved better. At least it was very, very good for a while.

@BeautifulBadandBizarre Жыл бұрын

Oh Trisha Noble yes!!!!! Very easy to confuse the two - they were similar in looks and style ❤️ Imogen’s situation was so sad because on the surface she seemingly had it all - I would have loved to have seen one of her stage performances! On film I think she got caught up in the whole image thing - she was often cast for her looks - and she played into that - she said she enjoyed the attention and at the time I don’t think she realised how fleeting that would be - but then what were considered character actresses such as Hattie Jacques and Joan Sims longed to play the bombshell roles! It’s just totally fascinating to me! Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video! Very much appreciated ❤️🌹
