Please join me in this video, Carol White - The Battersea Bardot - Kitchen Sink Drama to Hollywood!
Carol White was a British Actress who took the 1960s by storm! Starring in a string of movies with some of the biggest A-listers of the decade, including Richard Widmark, Gregory Peck, Sir John Mills, and Richard Todd to name but a few.
Carol White was born in London and even though Hollywood was calling, she never truly took her heart with her - it always remained in London. Beginning her career as a child star, Carol White grew into a glittering glamour girl of the swinging sixties, discarding the image only for her kitchen sink dramas such as the 1966 film ‘Cathy Come Home’ which brought her fame, success, and great acclaim along with the title ‘Most Promising Star of 1967’
Gleefully accepting everything the sixties had to offer, Carol White lived an indulgent life of excess which included a string of famous lovers, broken marriages, and dependence on all the things that would eventually bring her to a tragic end at a young age, leaving behind two sons.
Please join me as we remember the life and times of the Battersea Bardot, and take flowers to her final resting place at Mortlake Cemetery - as reminiscent of her most famous role, Carol came home to the place she loved so much. Her ashes are now interred with her parents and other family members, although sadly Carol has no headstone.
If you are interested in reading more about Carol White - her autobiography ‘Carol Comes Home’ is occasionally available on Amazon and other second-hand book sites. Although it is expensive and relatively rare - however, it’s worth searching out as it’s a great read!
