Maureen Flanagan(III)
- Actress
- Additional Crew
Flanagan, full name Maureen Flanagan (born 1941), was an early tabloid
nude model who was also famous for being a close friend of the Kray
twins, having been their mother's hairdresser. Flanagan also had an
acting career in the late sixties/early seventies, consisting mainly of
bit parts in The Benny Hill Show, Monty Python and several British sex
comedy films. She also played the lead role in the Danish film The
Loves of Cynthia (a.k.a. Cynthia's Sister) in 1971.
After her acting career ended Flanagan continued to remain in the
public eye owing to her association with the Kray Twins and her
attempts to have them released. She also authored the book "Intimate
Secrets of an Escort Girl" (Everest books, 1974) which was serialized
in the magazine Titbits (with the blurb "Britain's most photographed
model lays bare the facts of her working life in the sauciest story of
the year"). In 1997 Flanagan made a one-off return to nude modeling as
a mature woman, posing fully nude in the magazine Men's World; in the
accompanying interview she revealed her second husband had recently
passed away after a heart transplant operation, and that she is busy
raising a (then) 16 year old son.
