Imogen Hassall's brief life ultimately paralleled the tumultuous 1960s—the freedoms, the joy of life, the reckless excesses and the searing uncertainty of life itself. This is not a traditional showbiz biography. It is not a celebration of a long and illustrious career, or the brief but brilliant life of some bright and fleeting comet that blazed unforgettably across the Hollywood firmament. It is the human tragedy of a warm and caring, loving individual, who was broken inside and was lost. "She would be delighted to know that we're still talking about her."
