Lesley Langley


Lesley Doreen Langley was born in Orkney Islands on March 26, 1944, with the last name Hill, which then changed to Langley to make it more artistic. She is a British model, beauty queen and actress who was Miss United Kingdom and Miss World in 1965. She became the third woman from her country to win the title, and the second Miss United Kingdom in a row, thus becoming the second country to have back-to-back winners. Sweden was the first, winning the inaugural pageant in 1951 and the second pageant in 1952.

Career

Langley attended the Royal Merchant Navy School—now known as Reddam House, Berkshire—in the 1950s.
In the mid-1960s she played a small part as a member of an all-female team of pilots in the James Bond film Goldfinger as well as a Thal in the Doctor Who serial The Daleks.
She also became the front cover in 1967 on Weymouth's Official Holiday Guide, with photos inside.

Personal life

During her tenure Langley met and married jazz organist Alan Haven—known for his collaborations with John Barry in the James Bond films From Russia with Love and Goldfinger—and they had one daughter named Chloë. They divorced and Lesley later worked as a dental practice assistant.
