Mary Millington found fame in the 70s as a glamour model and porn star. In addition to this she became the first celebrity porn star Britain has produced. Her rise to fame and demise has been compared to that of Marilyn Monroe as there are a lot of parallels.
This documentary is excellent. The production is polished and of a high standard. As documentaries have become more and more glossy in recent years, The Mary Millington Story stills holds up well today despite being more than 10 years old. What makes this documentary so good is the interesting story. Without giving too much away it is about Mary's quick rise to fame and her later downfall of unpaid taxes, mental health problems and later her suicide. This story is both tragic and compelling. It is told by the people that knew her and is partly narrated. The fact that Mary Millington has not been the subject of too many documentaries makes it more interesting to watch as a lot of viewers will be unfamiliar with the story, making it fresh. Mary Millington still has a large fan base today and it is sad to see the life of a beautiful and charismatic woman cut short.
Highly recommended. The documentary was broadcast twice on Channel 4 in the UK. Once in 1996 as part of the Fame Factor series of documentaries and was repeated in 2000. If you can get hold of a copy it's well worth watching.
