A 5½ x 4 page from an autograph album signed July 11th 1972 at a recording of the Today programme in the ATV studios, by Imogen Hassall (1942-1980), the English actress who appeared in 33 films during the 1960s and 1970s. After having studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, she appeared in British TV adventure series of the 1960s such as The Saint, The Avengers and The Persuaders!  Her first major film role was as Tara in The Long Duel (1967). After appearing in When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970) she became known for playing sexy, scantily-clad characters on TV and in films such as Carry On Loving, the cult horror film Incense for the Damned and White Cargo, alongside David Jason. This, and the revealing outfits she wore at film premieres resulted in her being referred to as "the Countess of Cleavage". After several failed relationships, the death of her child, a miscarriage, and her career decline, she became depressed. Aged 38, following previous suicide attempts, she was found dead in her Wimbledon home on the morning of 16 November 1980, when she failed to meet a friend, the actress Suzanna Leigh, with whom she was due to go on holiday to Mombasa that day. She had apparently committed suicide by overdosing on Tuinal tablets.
