Happy Anni-hearse-ary™ to all-that-and-a-bag-of-Arthur-Treachers® English actress Imogen Hassall, aka, “The Countess of Cleavage.” A native of Woking, Surrey, the sonsie Imogen studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before producers began studying her unkind and shuffling her off to the unseemly world of B-C-and-D-cup movie production, after which audiences, too, began studying the rubbery lass in trashy roles in the late ‘60’s. Her efforts included the warped-as-they-sound, “Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and the Well-Endowed Girly,” “The Well-Endowed Virgin and the Gypsy” and “Well-Endowed White Cargo, Black Heat." Imogen and her décolletage entourage were as familiar a sight on the red carpets as they were the silver screen, spilling out of her top at third-tier premieres and unhinged bacchanalias on either side of the pond. Though her death was ruled a suicide, the station house is of a mind that her overdose on Tuinal capsules was accidental, as the comely, come-over-here-and-luv-me madam surely had more to live for.
