In 2004, Millington's prominence was recognized by her inclusion in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, [27] edited by Colin Matthew and Brian Harrison. Her entry was written by Richard Davenport-Hines. Hardly as alluring as Millington but even more successful was male star Robin Askwith. He came to prominence (so to speak) in "Cool it Carol" (1970). In it he plays a young man who hightails it to London with his impressionable girlfriend only to get caught up in the seedier side of London. One of the film's hilariously cheesy highlights is the train and tunnel sequence. Sheridan, Simon (2011). Keeping the British End Up: Four Decades of Saucy Cinema (fourthed.). Titan Publishing.

Manchester University Press. ISBN 9780719058417.A feature-length documentary chronicling Millington's life, entitled Respectable – The Mary Millington Story, [31] [32] [33] was partly shot and produced at Pinewood Studios in 2015. Millington was a member of the National Campaign for the Reform of the Obscene Publications Acts (NCROPA) [19] [20] and encouraged her readers to demand the abolition of the Acts. [12] After her death, NCROPA founder David Webb wrote: "Mary was a dear, kind person and we much admired her courage in standing up to the bigotry and repression which still so pervades the establishment of this country. She obviously had tremendous pressures put on her as a result and there is no doubt in my mind that these must have contributed to this tragedy." [21] David Sullivan's magazines were often undated, as such the only way of dating them is by which Sullivan-produced films were being promoted inside the magazines, i.e. a Sullivan magazine which promotes Come Play With Me would be from 1976/1977, ones promoting The Playbirds would be circa 1978, and ones promoting Confessions from the David Galaxy Affair would be from 1979.

As designed for British service, the Oberon-class submarines were 241 feet (73m) in length between perpendiculars and 295.2 feet (90.0m) in length overall, with a beam of 26.5 feet (8.1m), and a draught of 18 feet (5.5m). [2] Displacement was 1,610 tons standard, 2,030 tons full load when surfaced, and 2,410 tons full load when submerged. [2] Propulsion machinery consisted of 2 Admiralty Standard Range 16 VMS diesel generators, and two 3,000 shaft horsepower (2,200kW) electric motors, each driving a 7-foot diameter (2.1m) 3-bladed propeller at up to 400 rpm. [2] Top speed was 17 knots (31km/h; 20mph) when submerged, and 12 knots (22km/h; 14mph) on the surface. [2] Eight 21-inch (530mm) diameter torpedo tubes were fitted (six facing forward, two aft), with a total payload of 24 torpedoes. [2] The boats were fitted with Type 186 and Type 187 sonars, and an I-band surface search radar. [2] The standard complement was 68: 6 officers, 62 sailors. [2] In late 2009, an 8mm copy of one of her early John Lindsay short films Special Assignment resurfaced. Unseen since the early 1970s, it was subsequently transferred to DVD. Two years later in 2011, Wild Lovers, another 8mm film starring Millington, was also traced and transferred from 8mm to DVD. [ citation needed]

HMS Otter (1778) was a 14-gun sloop, the former French merchantman Glanure, that the royal Navy captured in 1778 and sold in 1783. She then became the merchantman and slave ship Cyclops. The French captured her in December 1795 as she was delivering her third cargo of slaves to the West Indies. She was easily the star of the naff but ridiculously popular sex musical "Come Play With Me" (1977) despite her limited screen time. The absurd antics of two old geezers let loose in a health farm run by the venerable Irene Handl doesn't make for a lot of fun. But the film noticeably changes pace when Millington is on screen. The same can be said for her role in "Playbirds" (1978), a film that regained fame briefly in the 80s when the tabloid press realised that Gavin Campbell from TV show "That's Life" was also in it. RIP Mary Maxted [the name on her gravestone] her married name, buried South Holmwood, Surrey above her beloved mother.
