- Today I visit the Famous grave of Phyllis Dixey, Actress, Striptease act, and dancer who's life was very short and filled with controversy.
Phyllis Dixey (10 February 1914 - 2 June 1964) was an English singer, actress, dancer and impresario. Her earlier career was as a singer in variety shows in Britain. During World War II, she joined ENSA and entertained the British forces. She sang, recited and posed in naked tableaux which were very popular.

We lost our son in law two weeks ago from a motorbike accident. I will never forget the knock on the door from the Police and asking where my daughter was. She was driving to where his phone signal had stopped for an hour. My husband got to the scene and the road was closed as the emergency helicopter doctors tried to save him, but it wasn’t meant to be.
They were going to start trying for a baby in the next month and had just gotten a puppy they’d always wanted.
Everyone please don’t take anything for granted in life. Always tell your loved ones how much you care and love them, and never leave or sleep on an argument.
Life’s too precious and you just don’t know when your life is over. Never take it for granted.
Much love to everyone who’s lost a loved one recently.
Condolences to you and family God comfort you in your time of sorrow God bless you all.
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... Your comment hurt me..I'm so sorry to you all BUT your RIGHT we shouldn't take anything for granted..Blessing to you...❤🙏
Sending my condolences to you and your family. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending healing thoughts and love to you all.. 🙏
I've just lost my little brother to cancer in June. I feel your pain Rachel 😞. I don't think I will ever get over this .we were really close . Someone said to me recently crying and talking is like a healing process. Every day will get a bit easier. Stay positive x
Bless you x
As the saying goes, "Nobody is really forgotten, as long as someone remembers". But sad if the surviving loved ones have also already left too, nobody visits and keeps the resting place anymore.
R.I. P Phyllis Dixey, I never saw you perform but to do that would have been appreciated by so many. You were one amazing lady. Rest peacefully.
I do love looking at gravesites and seeing so many beautiful gravestones. The ones that always reduce me to tears are the ones of children who died to young, the ones who were taken away from their families xx
I traveled to Belgium, stayed with some friends but when I was asked what I wanted to go and see, a graveyard, the lady who took me to a graveyard was so upset at going, she explained that the graveyard was were her parents were laid to rest. But over the other side was gravestones which belonged to the Jewish community who were killed by the Germans, I did pay my respects to the Jewish graves. I have never ever seen a cemetery that was so serene, beautiful and peaceful, all the graves had flowers, the grounds were kept clean and even the rubbish bins were emptied on a regular basis
I just wish that the cemetery’s in the U.K. were kept as beautiful
Thank you Paul for all that you do xx
I've not heard of Phyliss, will have to look her up as she sounds like an interesting lady. Also, what an amazing cemetery, I could spend all day there, reading the headstones and wondering about the people ❤
What a beautiful cemetery Paul...Phyllis was so controversial at the time. When you think how prudish and Conservative society was back then. Good on her I say...shame she passed so young . Thankyou Paul for bringing Phyllis to us....Mary Millington was the other controversial adult artist you was thinking of Paul. You covered her final resting place on a previous showing. She's still available to be seen on Netflix..
Wow.. that cemetery is fantastic.. the beautiful headstones i could walk round there all day.. well done paul.. she was an amazing lady..let her lay in peace xx
She was quite beautiful with a natural elegant and graceful quality. May she rest in peace.
First iv Heard of Phyllis she looks like a very beautiful woman in her video and obviously was years ahead of her time. God bless her R.I.P
I just feel sorry for the people who are supposedly outraged by fantastic ladies like Phyllis. It was her body and her personal choice to display it. In WW2 she certainly brought happiness delight and joy to all those servicemen who watched her performance and why shouldn't she. Only people who are jealous frigid and joyless would condemn her,
I would like to see the final resting place of Sinead O'Connor she was a great singer rip Sinead O'Connor
Yes I would too x
It's to soon
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... It's early for that but eventually I'd love to see where she's resting...😉
Shes just died have some respect
Sorry I forgot to add, one day x
" Is it true what they say about Dixie ?! ' I'd seen the television movie about Phyllis ,starring Leslie Anne Down , about 40 years ago - it made its way to American television . Phyllis came across as a truly lovely woman .🌹
Can you remember the old lady speaking at the start of the film which was Phyllis Dixey mother? I’m sat in the same room typing this as the interview was done as I now own the house.. phyllis was my great aunt and selina was my great grandmother!
Hey Paul! This was a fantastic video. I just googled Phylis and yes she was fantastic! She converted to Catholicism when diagnosed with cancer. The Y section you visited is the Catholic section. It’s a shame in England society is still prudish and conservative. Less of that in Mainland Europe as nudity on TV is the norm! As always I love your videos and intelligence. RIP Phylis. ✝️
❤❤Thank you for sharing the video of the grave of Phyllis dixy's grave. She was a good all rounder and really raunchy to. She died so young. May she rest in peace. Thank you so much Paul ❤❤
Cannot believe her blue plaque was not put up! Shame on those repressed residents association. Great video as alway ❤
Thank You Paul. I had never heard of Phyllis. Thank You for telling her story. She was a lady who expressed herself in a age were women had to behave. Good on her. She was telling women. You can be what you want to be. Then we had Elizabeth Taylor. Marilyn Monroe. Madonna.
Great video again Paul, thank you. A very beautiful lady x
I have to admit I’ve never heard of her what a lady good on her and what prudes the residents were so sad she died so young at 50 my gran also died at 52 from stomach cancer r I p Phillis thanks Paul going to read up on her 🥰🥰🙏
I've heard of Phyllis. I think she was the UK's Gypsy Rose Lee! So young when she passed. Thanks Paul. Beautiful spot, and some lovely graves. 🤗
Awww .. I hadn’t heard of her, Thanks Paul
Thank you Paul for this lovely video. The lady you mentioned was Mary Millington I think. Both ladies fought the good fight against censorship and both were taken way to early. If you can send me some strong healing though, that would be much appreciated, Thank you xx
Really enjoyed this video a lovely as you said" controversial" lady,,god bless her..❤
I'm gland u showed for the covid victim's so sad to all that lost their lives thru covid. We must appreciate we got thru it. ❤
Lovely video Paul …Beautiful cemetery…it breaks my heart when I see kids graves …I was recently up Newcastle and saw some little graves …I didn’t know Phyllis Dixey .but enjoyed this as Allways….Thankyou X
Paul. When I saw the notification of this video, I was so happy to see that someone has recognised her. I had heard about her, but the film of her life, starring Lesley Ann Down, really opened my eyes of what she did and went through. It as never been released on dvd, but I think it should. after watching it I did buy the book, which was fascinating to read. Thank you so much for this video.
What a lady she was .. beautiful & a character.. lovely headstone 🩷
Thanks Paul another great video .
Wow how interesting she was she lived her life how she wanted to so good for her rip lovely lady I would love to visit the cemetery
Just in from work
I’m going to sit back ,relax and watch the video
Can’t say I have heard of this lady but sounds like she was a right character
I personally have never heard of this amazing lady . However the insight you give into her life etc is brilliant . I found this video very interesting as i do all of them . Well done Paul keep up the great work .
Hi paul another great video lovely cemetery stay saft until next time 👍👍
Another great video,never I say this lady but she was very pretty
Good morning Paul.
What a lovely film! Like many other members have said, I had not heard of Phillis either. She sounds to have been quite a character. 50 was no age, very sad. We will never know but maybe had she lived, with age, she may have transitioned into main stream entertainment and TV as she sounds to have been quite a talented lady. Also, thanks for showing us around the cemetery, looks a lovely place. Mind you, if someone was snooping around there after dark coming across that statue of the reclining lady reading a book would give you a bit of a fright! 🙂. As always, keep ‘em coming!
Love this Paul great video . I agree I love people who go against the establishment and you’re right who wants to live their life following rules .
Thank you ❤❤
We're they called show lady's 🤔. Very colourful life she had. Brilliant ❤
Hi Paul, knew her name, but didn't know who she was. Now I know! Thanks Paul xxx
Hi Paul. I know the name but really wasn't sure why. Thank you for informing me who she was. I agree that people who ruffle the feathers are fun. I thought your lovely words about the young in the grounds and us who lost children were lovely and appreciated. You're a good guy.
I have not heard about Phyllis great video. Love all your videos. 😊
Thanks paul for video great watch 🎉🎉
Outstanding video paul . Thank you 😊. I hope your well x
Those cemetery workers bless them they take there work seriously and probably have to work non stop to get so much done the place looks tip top then,fantastic actresses back then were very saucy 😮but had a certain class to it,quite posh girls really with high standard of dress and makeup which took them hours, so forgive them for going simpler,wearing less on scenes is what makes you famous and being controversial comes naturally to a star,nice episode as usual Paul.The graves the people the stories the tragedy it’s an heartfelt life is it not .
Never heard of phyllis, bit before my time. really interesting though paul cheers
Good thing you’re bringing her out of obscurity.
My mum lost her brother when she was around 16 he was 19 and fell off a mountain rock climbing in France his friend died aswell they had the gear it's said his friend lost grip and took both with them so sad for both families terrible accident.
Feel so sad I never met my uncle he sounded like a lovely entertainmenting man I feel sad that I never met him when I see his grave
So very sorry how tragic.🙏
Sorry for you loss 🙏
To be Honest I have never heard of Her but its a bit of a sad story Died Young at 50 . well done Paul very interesting Video.
Hi Paul, another great video as always, I would like to see the final resting place of Gracie Fields ❤
Thankyou for sharing and hope you can get in the church
I've never heard of her. Very interesting. I'll look her up.
My partner & I look at other graves just in case any take our interest, quite often it does. In one case there two graves with matching head stones & ornaments. 2 teenagers in one grave & an older person was in the 1 next to them. They all died on the same day do obviously a connection. We took photos & did some research. The older person (in his 40s) was their father, he was a pilot, they were his son's. The plane he was piloting crashed. We've found a few like that.
I've not heard from her but I bet she was fun good on her for upsetting politicians alike they get up to all things naughty so who are they to shout great video
Hi Paul, I hope one day you do a video about the Philpott children. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I may not always leave a comment, but I never forget to leave a thumbs up.
Yes I will do one day.. 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 Thank you Paul!! If you should find yourself unable to due to circumstances behind your control, or it is personally difficult in ANY way, please know that I understand. You are appreciated.
It’s just a long way so it has to be done when I’m in that area filming for several graves. 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 I understand 😊
She was so young when she die she was stunning I looked her up wow so beautiful.
I love it when you look at other people's graves I do that alot. Photos will draw you in. 😢
Ó bless her so sad 😔 thank you Paul love your videos xx❤
Hiya Paul, I've ever heard of Phyllis Dixey up until now, but I do like these Obscure vlogs you put on, to let people like me know about B lists celebrities, like Phyllis, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
Those elaborate graves that you showed looked like Roman Catholic graves as they make a bigger show of the bereaved. In France many graves have a small photo on the headstone. never heard of this lady but what a contrast to current ways of thinking! Great film.
Thanks Paul 👍 What a looker 💖 R.I.P Phyllis , and the other girl you were trying to remember would that of been Mary Millington ?
Great video, like how she wasn’t afraid to stir things up. What a character. Thanks Paul ❤
Hi Paul, really enjoy your channel. I have an interesting story about Phyllis, I once bought a paperback biography about her, the day I bought it was the day she was born, I didn't pick it up again for a while , the day I finished reading it was the day that she died , An unusual thing !
Yes very unusual
Do remember phliys,
I remember back in 1989 I held my mums close friend newborn and in 2020 lost his life to covid, his brother unbeknown to him bought it home, he lived, and James didn't he was only 31....very sad.
Bless her
I've never heard of her but what a wonderful story such a sad ending but she definitely left her mark behind - good on her ❤😃
Sounds like an amazing lady, but with a sad ending, She's now at peace strip teasing for veterans above.
Rest in Peace
What a lovely woman, love people like her. She knew what was wanted in entertainment and did it, no matter what the fuddy duddies said, rip you beautiful human being. X
Hi Paul, great video as always. Would you ever consider doing a true crime series on the Yorkshire ripper victims? Keep up your dedication in making amazing videos, much respect.
Yes I will do at some point 🙏
Thanks for a great video,never heard of this person but always interested in what they do etc....Sorry if its a couple of late due to over working and now catching up ❤
Never heard of her but she definitely had a very interesting and busy life sad it ended how it did at such a young age. Looks a beautiful well cared for cemetery with such beautiful headstones. Thanks for sharing love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙 💚
Love Autumn 🍂
Thanks
Cheers Joe 🙏
What an amazingly well kept cemetary , I vaguely remember this ladies name , a lovely looking lady and very sad she passed so young. Thanks for doing this one Paul , informative too ,Im always learning intresting info from your videos .
Oh it be really nice if you came too Prescott Arizona we have so much history here to keep you plenty busy sending salutations from America
Thank you would love to get there one day. 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 should you ever make it over I'd more than honored too show you around where the wild Thing's are and show you some of our out of the way gem's! Like bumble Bee Arizona! Cleater Arizona these are smaller ghosts towns around with everything just left as if every one just dropped off the planet plates still on the table due to a horrible mining accident that closed the town in 1902 instantly!
Wow sounds amazing. Thank you 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 My pleasure!
You show such compassion when you do these videos! Love watching them. x
Well done Paul ❤
So there we have it paul phylis did wat came natural to her who am i to disrespect wat choice in life she chose whos perfect rip phylis thanks paul she deserved respect like anyone else no matter her life style great shoutout for this lady 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
I'd love to jet wash some of these headstones. Nice vid mate.
I would love to have seen her at the windmill, but was not born until 1944 ,what a shame ..
Evening Paul. Seeing all those beautifully well kept graves all in one area is lovely to see. Im thinking that no one wanted to be out done in that place.
They do say that you shouldn't worry or complain about getting old, because some people never get the opportunity or the choice.
Had heard of her but didn't know much so thank you for the information she led a very interesting and naughty life it seems . Loved the cemetery the graves were beautiful hope one day to have a beautiful headstone but not sure if my family would be able to afford one so ornate. So many young people but such amazing memorials, a parent should never have to bury their child, heartbreaking something you never get over trust me 💔
Even though I have never heard of her you still did her proud and made another fantastic video Paul
Totaly agree well said bravo 👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏
Very attractive lady who knew how to entertain sadly Age catches up with us all and she just make enough money to support her in later life. I’ll bet she could tell some tales when she was working as a cook in those Kitchens. RIP ❤
l hadn't heard of her but she was a stunner they should have put the blue plaque up for her spoil sports looks a lovely place,wow that headstone with the lady reading a book never seen one like that.
Wow this lass was a rebel with a cause, a bit of a looker too in her day. Nice video Paul.
👻👻👻
She seemed like an amazing lady and probably good at what she did even if nobody totally agree with what she did at that time Thanks Paul for bringing this marvelous video 👍👍
You do a great job paul love watching these your so compassionate x
Just now subscribed!
Love your video.
Thanks for subbing 🙏
Hadn’t heard of Phyllis - sounds as if she was an interesting lady, I was once wandering around a Graveyard in the Welsh Valleys and found many graves of 30 to 40 year olds, did a bit of research and it turned out that there had been a pit disaster, very sad. Well kept graveyard, so many are not maintained at all - or only the more recent areas, respect to those who do that job.
Hi Paul liked the video looking forward to the next video 🙂👍👌
NICE ONE PAUL NEVER HEARD OF PHYLLIS DIXIE BUT SHE HAD AN INTERESTING LIFE THATS FOR SURE SAD SHE DIED SO YOUNG
LOVELY CEMETERY SOME NICE HEAD STONES
R I P PHYLLIS 🙏🥀
i lost my mum in 2004 aged 60 years
Great Video. Have you ever thought of doing a video on Mary Millington or perhaps Imogen Hassall two fascinating women who sadly died too young?
I’ve filmed Mary’s already it’s on the channel Imogen is on my to do list.
Surbiton. That was were The Good Life was set (though not filmed)! I could quite imagine Margo objecting to a memorial plaque to a stripper!
Paul will you pay tribute to Sinead O'connor when they bring her home to Ireland to her final resting place.
Thanks for another interesting video
Another great video has always Paul 👍
Hello Paul, have you ever desired to find the final resting place of UK actor Colin Clive? who was best known for Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). He passed away on June 25th 1937 aged 37 from tuberculosis.
Will look into, I love horror
He’s in LA
Only 50 she was young 😢
I once went to the windmill theatre Venue in London it's just off the corner off Soho , it was a adult film show haha , but it was very memorable experience hehe 😁🤣 I don't know she was a stripteases artist tho I have to say tho wow ,I will have to Google her name and suss out her lifestyle and films out as well I'm drawn to people who are different from others that led exciting times ,many Thanks Paul ya friend always Rod 😌😎🤘🇬🇧🥁👑😂
i lost a mate from school in a car accident in 2012, he was only 20, i'm how old he would be if he was alive today
Good on her, what is the problem with the word Striptease? Mardy sods..should put a plaque up for her now.. rip Phyllis gone too soon xx
Sorry Paul, never heard of this lady 😮
I dare not say it but going to anyway. I never heard of her. Won't say way before my time but i probably was not born when she was about
Realy dnt no this lady Paul her name is unknown to me but I'm so sure by the time you tell us this ladies back ground an story things will be different her ever she was all respect to you for letting us no of her an paying respect to her resting place thanks Paul catch you later 🙏👍👍
My two sisters both died in their 30’s, one of a brain haemorrhage and the other was murdered. They are both buried near each other in the “young adult” section of our local cemetery which I think is a lovely idea ❤
So sorry for your loss 🙏
