Lena, was a powerhouse of a singer ,would win an talent show today, hands down!! A victim of her own fame and bad child managment!! Very sad ending, of a shining star! Rip lady go sing with the Angel's x
I met Lena in the 70s she was a sweet young child that was controlled by her family and manager
Lena was a fantastic singer I was sad when I heard about her death RIP Lena.BTW she came from Roth Say is how it’s pronounced.
@@eleanorcrawford9978 I went to school with her year above me lovely girl it's Rothesay
u know this is bonnie and not lena?
Nah she could sing and dressed decently.
I remember Lena bursting onto out TV screens on Opportunity Knocks, she knocked the socks off every other contestant! She was a powerhouse, very talented. Such a tragic life, taken far too early. RIP 🙏

"I remember Lena, from when i was a child.....Bless her heart 💖. I hope she's at peace". 🙏🕊️🕯️
Me too she had power full voice

@@pastorbri "NO! It's Lena!... Bonnie had long curly, very red hair!"🦊
So sorry.. didn know till now. We are in thoughts within
Born the same year as me and remember seeing her on television a lot in the 70's. What an amazing talent. #RIP Lena. 🖤
u know this is bonnie and not lena?
The world lost a very special lady !
I remember watching her on television in my childhood. Her voice was incredible, but she looked and behaved like someone much older. I think fame robbed her of her childhood. She came across as a very sweet girl. She has a beautiful memorial. Bless her, taken far too young, tragic. My youngest son had a life saving kidney operation in the Cardiff hospital she was treated in. So it hits home really hard. Another beautiful tribute Paul, bless you. ❤ xx

One of My husbands old work friends in hoddesdon was one of Lena’s friends, and he said she had lost so so much weight and was such a lovely lady and he went to her funeral .
Such a beautiful woman and talent taken from us . RIP Lena ❤ that churchyard is beautiful as my auntie and uncle are there … it’s beautiful walking through and hearing all the chimes and seeing the graves with decorations on, and all the Xmas trees decorated on graves at Xmas . It’s nice to sit on the benches as well in summer xx
What a lovely written piece, respect 🙏
@@rickyb5499 awwww thank you Ricky, that’s so lovely of u to say xxx
RIP 😇 ANGEL xx 💔
I knew her grandparents they lived in my village you couldn't have found a more lovely couple they were so proud of her they didn't brag they were the type of couple if you knew she was their granddaughter then you knew but they didn't throw it in your face. Saw Lena a few times when she was visiting always lovely always acknowledge you as you passed her and was always left in peace just all round lovely person rip Lena
I remember Lena singing on Opportunity Knocks in 74 and that she came from the Greenock area of Scotland. Very sad story and such a shame, Lena did have talent. May she forever R.I.P 🙏
I loved Lena zavoroni! We would be the same age now, I’m an anorexic survivor so this means a lot, but thank you for doing it with your usual tact and empathy x
u know this is bonnie and not lena?
Wow. What a voice she had. So much talent taken away too soon. A beautiful girl with a beautiful name. RIP 🙏
What a beautiful well kept grave. Bless her. Thank you for remembering her!
Thankyou paul, lena should never be forgotten RIP lena x ❤
Thank you so much for showing Lena's final resting place. It was so lovely. I was born the same year and remember Lena being on Opportunity Knocks like it was yesterday ❤
There is video on you tube of her singing " Going Nowhere" from 1981. She sings the song with so much feeling and emotion. It really is an outstanding performance. The girl could really sing.
I believe she sang that song better than its writer (Neil Sedaka) because she could relate to it.
A beautiful and talented young lady - if only she knew her value in life maybe she would still be with us today gone but always remembered xxx
How weird, I’ve been thinking about Lena a lot just recently for some reason and watching some of her old tv shows.She was just a couple of years older than me, and I was really jealous of her when I was a little girl- if only I’d known! She was a really sweet person, and not a brat like you’d expect child stars to be. Poor girl, how tragic her life turned out to be.❤️
Remember Lena well, beautiful voice, beautiful lady, so very sad she died so young R.I.P Lena xx
How sad was this , she started out with such great promise and everything was pulled out from underneath her, life can be so cruel to some people cant it, its a terrible disease anorexia. Karen carpenter springs to mind another great talent taken to early. Thanks Paul
It is frightening to consider that as recently as the early 80s the medical profession were so ignorant concerning Anorexia Nervosa and so the much needed help wasn't there for Karen Carpenter and others.
Beautiful little Lena will always be remembered for her incredible voice - sadly, she was taken too soon. Thank you for taking us to see her resting place. RIP Lena Zavaroni💖
Poor Lena….used to watch her on the royal variety etc…..it’s soo sad when someone so beautiful was soo sad inside.. it’s soo common…A voice never to be forgotten..Bless you Lena ♥💐
Lena's grave is 5 minutes from me and I've seen it many times. My youngest daughter (she's in her 20s) and I love walking around cemeteries and I've told her Lena's story. Such a sad one 😔
Such a sad story 😥. This scenario is way too common with young stars. So much tragedy. What a beautiful memorial 🪦 for a beautiful young woman. God Bless her 🙏 and may she Rest in Heavenly Peace.
I was amazed at how strong Lena's voice was even though she had suffered from anorexia for years.
So sad..May she continue to be wrapped in the wings of Angels..Thank you so very much for this video.
She was a jewel in the entertainment business.🌹
Poor little kid. Fame can be a house built on sand. She has a lovely inscription and headstone.
Lena zavoroni is much sadly missed
This is very interesting and informative
It is sad to hear about her illness
Passed away way too young 😢
Little Lena was such a childhood star...I remember seeing her on TV when I was little and we all loved her. Such a sad story as she grew up bless her. RIP Lena and thankyou for your music x
My father is at that cemetery. Also I previously worked with/for the photographer who took her wedding photos. I still have her first album on vinyl.
I remember opportunity knocks and seeing Lena as child bursting out in song she had an incredible voice and very talented at a young age. Lena rest in peace angel god Bless You 🙏😇🕊️
Poor soul, life could have been so much better for her given better management and care. R.I.P. Lena
What a powerhouse, such a sad story , way too young to leave 😢
I have great memories of Lena , fantastic burst of energy !
Yes. A great loss to music and for here own family. What a well kept place. The graves looked well kept and lots of flowers.
Such a sad ending to a tremendously talented young woman. She was persuaded to sing at her own wedding, but the song she chose was "Help Me Make It Through The Night" I can't help but wonder if that was a subtle cry for help. New husband didn't appear to pick up on that either. RIP Lena Zavaroni, keep singing in your next life ❤❤❤❤
I remember Lena's appearance on a local TV chat show and the host was asking her did getting married make her happy but Lena said " No" . She was just so down during the interview but honest through and through ; the anorexia had robbed her of happiness .
u know this is bonnie and not lena?
@@pastorbriWhat are you on about? This is Lena Zavaroni grave. Bonnie Langford is alive and well.
@@LynneCarolTaylor when I looked it was on a bonnie page?
Another great visit of respect Paul. It's almost barbaric that Doctors think that depression can be treated with an operation.
I totally agree about protecting these children . Such a sad story, yet again Paul you did a great job xxx
Hi Paul,
Thank you.
Unfortunately the entertainment industry is and was brutal on young singer's, male and female.
Their precious lives cut short, without reaching there full potential, so sad.
Great posts
I remember her when she was at the height of her career
Such a sad end to a talented star ⭐️
"There are two types of tragedy. One is not getting what you want. The other is getting it." Oscar Wilde.
Poor Lena. She deserved much better than a lonely grave. She is at rest now.
Sadly, she is gone - but she is absolutely not forgotten.
Another sad story of a celebrity gone too soon. Less than a year older than me. I was starstruck when I watched her on television in the 70's.
Beautiful girl.
So nicely covered again Paul . Thank you. 😊
Thank you for just reminding me of Lena. I remember watching her on Opportunity Knocks with my Mum and Dad, back in the day. Fame seemed so alluring back then but I guess poor thing showed it’s not that glamorous and very fleeting. Luckily I was born without any discernible talent!
Thanks to you Paul for getting up early and doing what you do tragic of what happened to Lena zavaroni I remember watching her on opportunity knocks she could belt out those songs if she was alive today would win bgt hands down your a star shining in heaven rest in peace Lena zavaroni xx
Such a sad story for someone so pretty and talented
I remember Lena. She was about my age. Tragic how she suffered. Such an amazing voice. R.I. P Lena.
Lena actually sang at her own wedding - There is a video here on TH-cam - Worth searching for it - Such a sad story for an incredible singer - I remember her on Opportunity Knocks.
I'd forgotten about Lena. Thanks for telling her story Paul.
I remember Lena so very well was always full of life loved her voice so much my dad bought me her album my favourite song was wishing on star she inspired me to sing myself so I will never forget her wat a shame died to soon wat a bundle of love hope she’s at peace now
Such a sad story, God bless her..... ♥️♥️♥️♥️💖💖💖💖
I went to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute when we went up to Scotland for a holiday. Her picture was in a lot of places in the town. They obviously had a fondness for her time living there. Watched the premiere live tonight Paul...I often miss them and have to catch up! Very poignant. Depression is such an awful mental illness and coupled with anorexia, she must have struggled so much. You always handle things so calmly & professionally x J x
‘Bless you, bless you’ so caring!
Done we love and respect again Paul xxx
I remember Lena appearing on Opportunity Knocks. She was tremendous at the time, but it soon started going downhill. A sad, sad lesson to be learnt about child stars. 😢
Great singer paul nice woman great video 🎉🎉🎉
Nice one Paul, glad you finally got to come up my way. But listening to you pronounced Hoddesdon. Sorry, it was funny.
So incredibly sad what happened to Lena, but glad you went to see her.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful tribute. RIP Lena 🙏🏻💡
I wss i a teenager in school when Lena became known and popular ,here in the USA.We thought that little girl was wonderful ! Its just in the last few years that I'd heard of her death- and I felt so bad about it . Thank you for visiting her grave .🌹
Thank,you Paul, RIP Lena x ❤
Nice presentation. Had no idea that Lena Zavaroni had passed, very tragic story. Nice touch on reading the poem on her grave, it really filled my eyes with tears. Thanks again
That was a very Sad Story and again you have Nailed it Paul about the Pressures of Stardom, which could have induced Poor Lenas Death.. "LET THE VOICE BE KNOWN, BUT THE IMAGE LEFT ALONE" !!!!
That is a beautiful cemetery.
You are aa very pleasant presenter thanks for your videos
So young.. such a tragic ending..may she rest in eternal peace .. her grave is beautiful xx thank you Paul... as usual.. brilliant xx
What a voice! a lovely tribute as always Paul, Lena Zavaroni taken from us far to soon RIP and Thankyou for the music!
I remember seeing Lena in the 1970s on Opportunity Knocks, so tragic, a very talented lady.
Thank you for this one Paul I'm old enough to remember Lenas rise to fame and the sad way it progressed. She is not forgotten and remembered with love. Bless you mate.
I just found your channel, I'm in Portland Oregon, the beautiful Rose City.🌹
Our generation of women were so susceptible to anorexia, especially if they were in front of a camera. Karen Carpenter, another amazing voice, also died from this. As a little girl, I remember Lena, and like most girls, tried to sing like her.😏 it was awesome to see another girl with so much talent! And now I learn that she died so young. 😔 rest easy honey, and thank you for the music 🎶 😘
Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏
You're not wrong about child stars struggling to cope with the fame and pressure. So many child stars have had serious issues and died comparatively young due to the pressures early fame brought upon them (Judy Garland, Brad Renfro, Sabu, Bobby Driscoll etc ) and the fact that it ultimately made them unhappy. Unfortunately Lena also suffered from the same self-destructive behaviour and it does make you wonder that had she not have become famous (especially at such a young age) then maybe she'd still be with us.
Watched a documentary on Shirley Temple earlier.... another child star that could have gone the same way....but walked away from "show-biz" at 22..... And put her energies into charities and supporting kids internationally...... Became a well-respected Ambassador globally.
Such a sad ending for Lena. Good night & Godbless. RIP- Thanks for the memories.
The way you cover the deceased is done so beautifully and eloquently. I am a relatively new fan of this channel. I live in Texas but British entertainement and history was quite prevalent in my young life because my mom was from Birmingham. Dad is from Texas which is why we live in America. I have heard of many Biritsh entertainers but I am glad you covered Lena because I have never heard of her until now. She seemed very talented and lovely. Your channel popped up randomly I think because I watch a lot of the American Hollywood Graveyard. Thanks for the graveyard tours. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for watching, I hope you continue to enjoy the videos 🙏
Lena was a sweetheart a power house of a voice so tiny yet cud blast those notes out I first seen lena wen she won opportunity knocks omg she was fantastic but success wasnt kind to her or those who clung to her because of her fame lena was a sweet charming girl fly high princess heaven has you now thanks paul 💯👍🙌👍
Paul you are a treasure with your calm measured tribute to these people. They are very touching and quite emotional. God bless you sir.
Thank you Vince 🙏
O boy she was fantastic I miss her x😊
Well impressed with all the info on Lena that you provided - great stuff!
That is a beautiful cemetery, I like going around them, just to see who is buried there
But there are so many flowers and momento's there
The way you were wandering around made me wonder if you actually knew where her grave was her grave very memorable, but just a very simple grave for someone who was taken far too soon
I never knew she had so many problems in her life
Even though a graveyard is full, I think they are lonely places, seeing all the names on the graves to remind people, everyone lying there had a life, a family, they had loves, hates,
As long as someone says their name they aren't forgotten despite how long they have laid there
Thanks for the walk arond and thi information you gave us
I cant see my Dads grave, he was cremated and ashes scattered, but I still remember him
She had a genuine smile that 'came from the eyes'.
Aww I remember her from the hughie green show and I couldn’t believe it when she died ,So very heartbreaking Paul …Thankyou for another great video X
Thank you for sharing your blog, one of my favourite talents no one like her rest in peace beautiful lady ❤️
So sad about lena, I think too much pressure was put on her much too young. But she was a great talent.
Bless you Lena,you were so talented ❤️
Lena was a fabulous star. What a shame she went far too soon. Sleep well Lena❤
So very sad how she ended up , like you say too much pressure is put on young stars , thanks again Paul for showing us Lenas final resting place , and what a beautiful cemetery with some lovely memorials.
So sad; another tragic case of childhood fame ruining a life !
Lena had a awesome voice died to young. Thank you Paul X ❤️
Really lovely to hear you speak so respectfully coming from someone as young as you are,,bravo
Thanks Kym, I am 51 though 😊🙏
Thanks
I remember Lena from the 70s & my thoughts at the time were wow who is this.
As you said Paul kids who are in the entertainment industry need to be protected from the huge pressure that fame brings & unfortunately for some if it ends because the industry just dumps them & then their is no one apart from family to help but by then some are to far gone with fatigue or are dependent on drugs or illnesses brought on by depression which is a shame.
Lena was taken way before her time & now she is at peace RIP Lena 🙏
Awwwh bless her so lovely god bless you Lena ❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️🙏
So sad poor girl.. reminds me of that little girl jon Bennett however you spell it.. such a powerful voice for such a young girl... beautiful cemetery.. bless her heart rip 🙏 and great vid xx
A very sad ending, to a really talented lady❤️❤️
I remember Lena zavaroni first performance on Opportunity knocks I was only a young girl myself.she certainly could belt the notes out, well now she can rest in peace, Thank-you for showing the video Paul
This is so very sad. Rest in peace and rise in glory, Lena. X
Absolutely loved Lena. She had an amazing powerful voice. So sad she felt she had to be something she wasn’t. She was a child an I agree she should have been allowed that to her. We must protect future childhood stars❤
u know this is bonnie and not lena?
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... I must of missed this one... I remember loving & admiring Lena zavaroni ... I used to sing to a mirror with a hair brush pretending to be her.. A part of me died when Lena lost her life..As I aged I learnt of her struggles/History ... This condition is still happening today..It's heartbreaking... The pressures of fame on the young is crippling ...God Bless You Lena & Thank You For The Music...💔❤💋
Glad her grave is still looked after for a change.
Lovely fitting words on Lena's memorial.Thanks for video and information on Lena's career and life.She will always be remembered.
Love the music in the background
I remember her on Opportunity Knocks. She was a lively happy child. There was a play about her life at a Theatre in Scotland. I saw it on the internet. As soon as Lena left Scotland to live in London it had already began. She was put on a diet at 10 before she started stage school, told how to act what to wear, eat etc.
I doubt she had any freedom at all, to just be herself. When she became an adult she was too sick to work and ended up with nothing. She was burned out.
Hi boy good thanks 😇 🥰 😊 ☺️ 👍
I loved Lena, taken far too soon, thanks Paul
