Sheree Winton

Sheree Winton was an English actress, glamour model, and beauty pageant contestant. Born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, she began her career in 1957 at around age 21 and remained active until 1970. Standing 5'7" with blonde hair and green eyes, she was often called "the English Jayne Mansfield" for her striking resemblance to the Hollywood star. Her natural 36C bust and average body type made her a popular figure in 1960s glamour modeling.

Over her 13-year career, Winton appeared in numerous films and television shows. Her notable film credits included The Devil's Disciple (1959), Dentist in the Chair (1960), The Road to Hong Kong (1962), and Rhubarb (1969). She also appeared alongside British comedians Frankie Howerd and Terry-Thomas on TV, and played herself in the series That Was the Week That Was (1962–1963) and Kindly Leave the Stage (1968). She landed an uncredited bit part in the James Bond film Thunderball (1965).

In 1957, she was chosen Queen for a Day by the Oldham Charity Carnival. That same year, she married furniture salesman Gary Winton and converted to his Jewish faith. The couple divorced in 1965, and he died in 1968. She was the mother of television presenter Dale Winton. After a lifelong battle with clinical depression, Winton died by suicide in 1976 at age 40, leaving a legacy as a talented performer and a beloved mother.
