From Pix in 1966, one of Sabrina's last appearances - but only to publicise Australian singer Barry O'Dowd. Sabrina and strong-man Tommy Yeardye interrupted by a gorilla in the Stork Room, London, 1959. Because... yeah. Gorilla. (Full size)

Here's a lovely new pic of Sabrina being seen with flowers, men and a delighted little girl. FRANK GORDON organist at the "RITZ" Birkenhead, approx. mid 1950s. The caption on the back reads: "Sabrina" ARTHER [sic] ASKEY discovered her" |

Thanks to Stevie Page for this pic from 1957. Sabrina looks rather confused. The caption reads:
|
25 March 1956

Sabrina with Lee Gordon and Sammy Davis Jr at Lees Theatre restaurant, 27 April 1959. I'm not sure what drugs the girl on the right was taking, but I'd like some... Fortunately, the caption on the picture above alerted us to the fact that Sabrina was the one on the left .

You can stand back a bit, please." "Isn't this a lovely evening?" "You can leave now." "Ah, already I feel the gaze of a prowling man" |
Sabrina and Betty Lawrence (whomever she is) at some event, somewhere at some stage. I have tried finding out who Betty was, with no luck. Please tell me if you know anything about her. |
From the Blackpool Gazette (2013-07-31), this rather creepy oddity. The article in full:

Sabrina with Kenneth More, Nigel Stock, and Windsor Davies and two ladies... Newsflash 2024!I may have found the why, where and when of this mystery pic. Eleven star faces lit by the sunshine in Hyde Park, London, will brighten the screens for Independent television viewers this autumn. All are scheduled to appear in shows for ABC TV are (l-r) Jeremy Brett, Diana Rigg, Ian Carmichael, Vanessa Redgrave, Francesca Annis, Kenneth More, Sabrina, Nigel Stock, Pauline Yates and Donald Churchill. Where: Hyde Park, London When: 23 September 1964 So. That's what I achieved today (2024-03-13). What did you manage? |
Sabrina, with the Miss Hialeah contestants (a beauty contest in Florida, USA, which feeds into the Miss Florida competition, apparently). The back of the photos bore the date stamp 4 September 1966, but whether this was the date the photo was taken, or the date when it was used by a newspaper, I cannot say. |
Sabrina seen with Liberace in 1956 preparing for the aborted Royal Command performance .
And again here And with more people here. The photo caption reads: ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE CANCELLED.

20 June 1958 London, England, United Kingdom - NORMA ANN SYKES with TONY DALLI [sic] arrive at the midnight premier of the film "The Goddess" at the Odeon Theatre Is this Toni Dali below? If so, it's from 1958. (I'm not good with face recognition. Lassie and Sinatra seem much the same to me...)

SHAPING UPROME: Getting the proper perspective on his work, Bulgarian-born sculptor Assen Peikov compares bosomy British actress Sabrina with the bust of her he's just created. Many stars of stage and screen visit Peikov's studio to have themselves "immortalized" in clay. 21 November 1958. |
Sabrina and Marty Wilde , father of Kim Wilde, 7 October 1957 Sunday School Girl or Sabrina? Marty Chose Sabrina. Thanks to Herr David for the translation of the German caption: He who is spoilt for choice has, as is well-known, a tough time making that choice. Here a new rock 'n' roll star, Marty Wilde, is agonising over it. While he sang "Honeycomb you're my baby" to Sabrina at a rehearsal, his girlfriend Rosemary Reid (19) was teaching at Sunday School. She had made him choose between fame and her friendship. For the time being he's decided in favour of his stage career and a salary of DM 1800 instead of DM 72, and Sabrina was very impressed by him. But deep in his heart Rosemary does remain the best, who, as he puts it: "is a simple girl and fears losing me to the star-crazy girls. But I am just a simple guy and don't want to be famous. |
Found at the Victoria and Albert Museum site, thanks to a tip from Paul W. They were photographed by Harry Hammond in 1955. Thanks, Paul! Sabrina and the Four Aces . Did they work together, or was it just an opportunistic photoshoot? I can find no information of The Four Aces working with Sabrina. 26 January 2018 . Mark wrote to say: Hi Mark, May I inform you that the photograph of four men in formal [stagewear) suits are NOT the Four Aces, as captioned, but the Canadian trio THE THREE DEUCES plus another guy on picture right, who was a singer, but nothing to do with the Deuces! How he got into the picture is a mystery to me. I am the good-looking one on Sabrina's immediate left. You've missed out vital facts in the Sabrina saga... In 1955/6 we (the 3 Deuces) were engaged by her original manager, a wealthy Leeds garment-factory owner to teach Sabrina stage presentation and how to actually sing! She was a sweet and modest girl but while endowed with an unnaturally large bosom and tiny waist, she had no talent whatsoever! We persevered however, painfully rehearsing for a month or more and managed to craft a semblance of a singer and poseuse. No audience could possibly have been interested in her weak and rhythmless vocal 'style' but her boobs were spectacle enough! In her first variety tour we stood behind her on a separate mic and sang her entire song (the only one she knew at that time), which was called 'Do It Again', while she breathed and simpered into her mic. She was something of an embarrassment, I can tell you! But to her credit, she was subsequently able to create her own solo act and tour it extensively!! We liked her a lot but felt sorry for her, feeling her to be a kind of mammary freak-show with pretensions to talent as a singer... But she was a modest young girl, projected into a world of tacky 'glamour' which she simply did not understand. She was certainly not promiscuous though, despite overwhelming attention from a myriad chancers and other male breast-obsessed sex-merchants. I was really sorry to hear she died penniless in the USA. Predictable I suppose, as she never made any real money....I tell the full story in my autobiog, (as yet unpublished), although the Sabby episode was a mere blip in my unique and fascinatingly serendipitous life... There you go Mark...Stay in touch! |
Sabrina and Julius la Rosa , American singer |
23 Oct 2010 - Hi Mark, I've been fortunate enough to get to know legendary cartoonist/illustrator Ronald Searle over the past couple years. He allowed me access to his extensive & meticulously catalogued personal archive where I found the attached photo of him drawing Sabrina on the set of Blue Murder at St. Trinians . It's a different angle to the publicity still you have on the site . I also have a beter version of that angle if you like? BTW great work on the Sabrina site-she's a fascinating character once you start reading around all the articles you've collated. Matt J |

Sabrina and Barry Sullivan in a PR photo taken during the London filming of Another Time, Another Place in 1957. Oddly, it's the irrelevant girl on the left whose photobomb captures one's attention. |
The brunette is June Wilkinson, and Richard tells me the man is Tommy Yeardye of whom Sabrina supposedly said "Tommy can have the key to my safe any time he wants" - also see the Dating Sabrina page .
(Full size) "Busty Sabrina is a Yeardye admirer. She says, "Tommy can have the key to my safe any time he wants" Tommy Yeardye , (18 July 1930 - 21 April 2004). Entrepreneur and lover of Diana Dors. The reference to the safe, apparently is when Dors dumped him and demanded that he opened his safe deposit box so she could see if he was hiding money from her. Yeardye invited the police to be present. |
"I've enjoyed surfing through your wonderful
Sabrina site and am sending you an exclusive pic taken at Woodend,
Victoria, Australia, horse race meeting in 1959. That's me without
the hat in case you're wondering. The other one is Sabrina, in the
exact outfit she had worn to Royal Ascot previously. Sabrina's mother
is looking over my shoulder, keeping an eye on things. Sabrina was
a lovely lass, with no airs and graces.......very natural." Ron. Thanks, Ron! Read more about Ron's experience and see his autographed pic on the Memories of Sabrina page. |
Stuart sent in this one on 10 Sept 02. Thanks, Stuart! Image upgraded 22 Sept 2015. Listen to references to Sabrina in Hancock's Half Hour and the Goon Show |

Major Christopher Draper , DFC ("The Mad Major") with Sabrina. She was his passenger on several flights. Kindly supplied by Nigel Cullinan. In his autobiography, he recalls:

Ron C wrote to say that this is Sabrina with "Joe Matthews of Matthews News And Photo Agency (148 Lambeth Walk ) it was taken after Joe had flown under the bridges with Major Draper." |
"The guy is the fine Canadian-born actor Robert Beatty (1909-1992) who regularly appeared on radio, tv and films in the UK." - JP Stoke-on-Trent, UK. |
Thanks to Nigel, I now know this is Johnny Ray |
The dog is Shane, and Nigel tells me the man is Jimmy Young , singer and radio presenter. Hyde Park, 6 August 1955 Television personality Sabrina, the girl who made a million fans without uttering a sound, gets some tips on recording technique from singer Jimmy Young with the help of a tape recorder in London's Hyde Park. Sabrina is to show that she really does have a voice by making some records soon and who is there better able to give her advice on the subject than Jimmy Young? His record of 'Unchained Melody' is Britain's top selling disc and has already passed the 100,000 mark in sales. [Sabrina and Shane] |
A Plaque for the Fabulous Sabrina Yesterday, two soldiers from Stockport, Lancashire, journeyed specially to London to meet the famous variety girl Sabrina who is now appearing at the Price of Wales theatre, and present her with a plaque in admiration of her splendid fight against adversity and for winning through to high success. Sabrina was struck down with polio in her early teens, and was in hospital for three years. The men were from the 7th Battalion, Cheshire regiment, the men of whom are keen to "adopt" Sabrina again. Photo shows: Sabrina is kissed as she was presented with the plaque by Company Sgt. Major F. Lonsdale (on left) and Colour Sgt. William Eckersley before she went on stage at the Prince of Wales last night. 29 May 1957 |
