Interesting that I
knew Jane Asher as Paul McCartney’s girlfriend, who sometimes acted until you
actually see her in films like Deep End
or Alfie. Few times in life do you
know someone for such a miniscule facet of their life. I think Macca missed the
boat here: Asher is probably 50 percent more beautiful now than in the 1960s
(she was 17 when she started dating The Beatles bass guitar player).
Also, Deep End co-stars Diana Dors. She
actually has about a seven-minute presence in the film although she gets third
billing on all the credits. Dors was labeled as England’s answer to Marilyn
Monroe. Blonde and voluptuous, she was extremely beautiful and was achingly
similar to Monroe from her body type to her actual face. Age did little for
Dors (she portrays a rich, horndog bath-goer in Deep End), which makes you wonder what would’ve happened to Monroe
given 25 years.
Per the end of the film, I'm still not sure how she was killed by the light, why it required such a dramatic turn and why the kid wasn't so keen on helping.
