Carole Lesley (born Maureen Rippingale, 27 May 1935, Chelmsford – 28 February 1974, New Barnet) was a British actress who had a short but significant career as a "blonde bombshell". Lesley ran away from home at the age of 16, "aiming to become a star".〔http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/jan/20/hollywood-film-stars-are-mugs-deborah-orr〕 She starred in several films in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including the 1957 film ''Woman in a Dressing Gown'', which won the 1958 Golden Globe Award for Best English-Language Foreign Film. She also appeared in ''Doctor in Love'', ''Operation Bullshine'' and ''What a Whopper'', and played Helen of Troy in a television play. However Associated decided to end her contract, which devastated her and she disappeared from the public eye. She subsequently lived in a semi-detached house overlooking New Barnet station, but by 1973 was felt by some to be "a deeply depressed, once beautiful woman, still haunted by a glamorous past".〔http://booksandotherthings.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/carole-lesley-and-illusion-of-glamour.html〕 She died of a drug overdose. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carole Lesley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
