'Mary's story is the British 'Boogie Nights!'

1999 was the twentieth anniversary of the suicide of Britain's best known pornographic model - Mary Millington. The girl next door who became the sex superstar of the 1970s, Mary's rise was meteoric, controversial and scandalous. For the very first time her remarkable story can be told.

Glamour model, cover girl and hardcore porn actress, Mary was a fervent campaigner for the abolition of the Obscene Publications Act, and a forthright bisexual who promoted her ideals of sexual openness and equality. Mary starred in numerous British sex comedies including Come Play with Me (which holds the record for the longest-ever theatrical engagement in British cinema history!). She is still the single most famous sex star Britain has ever produced.

Simon Sheridan's book re-visits the Seventies cycle of celebrity excess and casual sex that would eventually lead to Mary's downward spiral through prostitution (she counted PM Harold Wilson and Diana Dors as lovers), kleptomania, a celebrated trial at the Old Bailey, and cocaine abuse, to her tragic death at the age of 33.

Funny, touching and informative, Come Play with Me - The Life and Films of Mary Millington reveals the truth behind the myth. Unprecedented access to the Millington archive and exclusive interviews with her friends, colleagues and family make the book compelling reading.
