Hazel Ascot
Hazel Ascot (born 1928) was a tap-dancing British child-star in the 1930s who was billed as the "British Shirley Temple". She starred in two films before abandoning her theatrical career.
==Career==
Ascot was born in Manchester. She was the daughter of Duggie Ascot, who created a dance troupe with his family called "The Petite Ascots". Film director John Baxter discovered Hazel at her father's dance studio in London. She was made the star of his upcoming film ''Talking Feet'' (1937), a "quota quickie" about a girl's attempt to raise money for a local hospital by putting on a show.〔Stephen C. Shafer, ''British Popular Films, 1929–1939: The Cinema of Reassurance'', Routledge, London, 1997, p.188〕 The film was a success and so Hazel was given another starring role in ''Stepping Toes'' (1938), about a child dancer who wins a contest and goes on to star in a show in London.
After these films, it was intended that Hazel would appear in a third feature, a more expensive venture, to be shot in colour, provisionally titled "Hazel of the Sawdust" but the outbreak of World War II made this untenable.〔Threadgall, D, ''Shepperton studios: an independent view'', British Film Institute, 1994, pp.16-18.〕
Ascot was one of two British child stars at the time who were billed as the British Shirley Temple. The other was Binkie Stuart.〔Vallance, Tom, "Binkie Stuart", ''The Independent'', 17 August 2001, p.6.〕
