The "Miss World 1961" mentioned so scathingly by Dolores Hope was the Welsh-born Rosemarie Frankland, whom Bob Hope described at the 1961 competition as the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He actively tried to promote a Hollywood career for her by casting her in a fairly large supporting role in his 1965 comedy "I'll Take Sweden", but she proved not to have any acting ability and it was her last film. (She had earlier had a few tiny walk-on roles in British films). For a time, she was referred to as a "personal assistant" to Hope; it seems highly likely that she was, as "Misbehaviour" implies, his mistress, although he was forty years her senior. She had two unsuccessful marriages and died in 2000, aged 57.
