    Thanks for posting this. I was a close friend of her brother Nicholas and so glad you mentioned him. He didn’t always live in a caravan but I wondered how you knew. I had the sad job of clearing his stuff out of a caravan about a year after he had died. A talented musician and composer. I knew him from when I was a teenager till he died.

      Hi Tricia! Thank you so much for your comment! I found it really difficult to find anything out about Nicholas - I scoured the internet, newspapers books etc - I managed to glean small amounts about him - including a music book he’d contributed to - I’d have loved to have found more!

      That’s so lovely! Do you know why he never became more well known? From what I could understand he was very private - also if you don’t mind me asking - did he look like Imogen - she was just stunning!

    I remember falling in love with her statuesque figure, big beautiful eyes and gorgeous long brown hair in 'The Early Bird' when I was a little boy. I've never forgotten her, she was absolutely fabulous. Its so sad as if she would've just held on I can think of so many countless parts in film and TV she would've been made for! Life is so short and so cruel to some beautiful people. RIP Imogen. - Fantastic channel by the way.

    A very touching tribute. As you said, she was a genuinely talented actress whose personal life went astray. She used her beauty to gain fame but then could not shake off the stereotype. She needed a steadying influence in her life but could never find one.

    I’ve got to say I watch a few of these programs where people find the graves of famous or infamous people and this lady is probably the best I’ve watched with her clear and sympathetic voice and that sweet touch of putting flowers on the grave. There’s a lot of famous people buried around my location but my favourite is Alexandra Bastedo one of the most gorgeous women on the planet. She’s next to her husband in a tiny little graveyard with just a couple of dozen graves but a beautiful location.

    Thank you. I literally only know her from Carry On Loving. She was very good in it. I loved Terry Scotts face after she changed her look. Such a sad ending, especially as it appears she tried to save herself. Lets hope she is resting in peace.

      My pleasure! She was such good fun - I remember watching her in The Avengers etc - stunningly beautiful, educated and talented but she fell into the sex symbol trap and just couldn’t get out of it - yes, it was shocking reading that she’d tried to dial the phone - so terribly sad and heartbreaking xxxx

    Thanks for uploading this excellent informative video on the incredibly beautiful Imogen Hassall. Myself and my wife (who in fact placed the pink tulip on her grave mentioned in your video) always make a point of visiting her grave when we are in Wimbledon. I became a fan over 50 years ago when I saw "Carry On Loving" and have always remained so.

    Thank you. Funny this comment coming from a guy but I might be the only guy who only really had my memory of this lady from my 1960’s. A sad life, wanting a life but just not being able to get a “fit” to a dream. Unquenchable thirst almost. A dreadful yearning for a life she felt was always unfulfilled. Thank you for a great presentation.

    A very sad story. Dear Ms. Hassall has been a favourite of mine for many years. I agree about "Carry On Loving." She was fantastic in that, and such a shame she didn't do more. As for "The Persuaders," well, yes, as you stated, it was shown in 1971, yet Imogen was in the pilot (first) episode called "Overture." That was filmed in 1970 at Pinewood Studios (interiors) and the Cote d' Azur (locations.) I also believe that Ms. Hassall's grave has been tidied and cleaned, along with flowers placed, from members of the FB Imogen Hassall group. Lovely roses you put there and a tasteful video tribute.

    In all walks of life there are many people who are born never to make old bones. Sadly Imogen Hassall was one. When your family, due to talent live in the glare of the public spotlight, your path is laid out.Young gifted in the early years of Swinging London,being part of the changing scene. Being a professional entertainer came easily, and she played the part well.Her natural beauty and her figure were superb. Yet the Gods balance the ledger. She burnt brightly, like other stars ⭐ but was snuffed out far too soon 😢❤ l pray that she is now at peace ❤

    What a lovely, affectionate and informative tribute to the gorgeous artist, Imogen Hassell. Of course, her looks attracted everyone, but she had superb timing, especially in comedy, which was not nearly exploited enough. Quite rightly, the narrator (Shar?) points out her wonderful appearance in Carry on Loving (1970)/ her rapport with Terry Scott was pure magic, but is so often in life people who are given natural gifts in one area often struggle in others. What a pity she just didn’t settle down with a nice fella who would love and support her. No one could’ve done much to help a baby born so prematurely, but - for sure - we all felt listening to this we wanted to give her a massive hug… for indeed she was clearly a very kind person. I say that as comments made by everyone who worked with her all say the same thing. Thank you for making this lovely tribute. I shall see many more of her films, but I do remember her appearance on The Persuaders which has come out in a stunning new Blu-ray transfer. It looks like it was made yesterday. It’s about time the Carry On films also receive the same treatment. But I’m going off piste. I do hope that Shar makes more videos like this. She has an obvious flair for it. But please do not pronounce then letter “H” “Haitch”. I’m fighting a losing battle. But who cares what I think. I’d still give this video 10/10 and wish Shar the very best of health, without which, life can be just misery. Time for my bedtime gin.

I loved Imogen in carry on loving she was great and stood out in my mind and the film. I’m amazed she was not cast in more carry on films. Make me wonder why.

      Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Imogen Hassell did indeed make a memorable impression in "Carry On Loving." It’s always a bit of a mystery why certain actors don’t appear in more films, but it often comes down to a variety of factors beyond just talent. Her life had its share of challenges, and it’s touching to see how her story has affected you, to be absolutely honest I feel the same and visiting her final resting place was very emotional for me. I hope she has found peace, and I appreciate you watching and reflecting on her legacy. xxxxx

    For months, I've occasionally walked past her Wimbledon home and there is a somewhat wish that stepping on the pavement will have you magically go back to 1979, but judging from the video, I doubt she'd want any attention, particularly at that point, possibly save her, possibly not. You can't really delude that you are in 1980 but can do just imagine her walking near her house.
    I have a lot to say after watching this 14 billion times and vising her, there's a lot of things to question and say. Other better known actresses like Ingrid Pitt and Barbara Windsor had better careers and they've shown a lot of skin. There are some Hammer, Carry On, Benny Hill actresses who had short/reduced careers, maybe married, hated repeated roles(like Imogen) and stuff like that, but I haven't delved deep to know further with the less well-known. If she is known to have two miscarriages, what about the 4 years with Kenneth Ives after the pre-marital birth, couldn't she have waited til her 40s with Andrew Knox? Regardless of her traditional views, couldn't she, in a growing feminist environment have had arguments with casting directors. Very sad life with lots of limited potential. #suicidepreventionmonth

      Thank you for sharing your thoughtful reflections on Imogen Hassall. It’s lovely that you feel connected to her when passing by her Wimbledon home. Her life, as you mentioned, was filled with contradictions, and while others like Ingrid Pitt and Barbara Windsor navigated similar career paths, Imogen seemed never quite managed to navagate her career in the same way.
      Your points about her relationships, miscarriages, and the pressures she faced-both personally and professionally-raise important questions. Her story is indeed tragic, and as you noted with #suicidepreventionmonth, it’s a reminder of the importance of mental health and support.
