Trivia

  • Her litigiousness was so excessive that, on 5 March 1987, the High Court declared her to be a "vexatious litigant", preventing her from commencing any further legal actions without the permission of the Court.
  • In 1988 following bankruptcy proceedings she lost her home in Bray, to which she returned the following night to recover her love letters from Roger Moore.
  • While working in the East End, Squires worked at a club which gave her the name Dorothy, which she liked and used on stage after that time.
  • In 1973 she was charged with high kicking a taxi driver who tried to throw her out of his cab. She was also one of several artists charged with allegedly trying to bribe a BBC radio producer as part of a scheme to make him play her records; the case was dropped.
  • In 1972 she took out a libel action against the actor Kenneth More for mistakenly referring to Mattioli as Roger Moore's "wife" when he was still legally married to Squires.
