After reading and enjoying Anais Nin's disguised-as-fiction Cities of the Interior, which is five books in her erotic diary spanning the mid 1930s to the early 1970s (she died in January of 1977), I decided to check out her earlier, undisguised work from the life-changing year of 1931.

Their daughter, Suzy, is an actress too and we find out about her through her achievements thus ...

My mother June Linda Hawken was born in Essex on July 30th 1948 she had lived a modest childhood but from an early age had decided she wanted to be a Dagenham Girl Piper. Her career with them lasted several years and led to her appearing in movies and on stage with the likes of Sammy Davis Jnr and Frank Sinatra. In the early 60's she dated popular pop icon Peter Noon, but the relationship fizzled out.
