Over 50 girls today paraded in swimsuits or shorts and jumpers at the Astoria Dance Hall
Over 50 girls today paraded in swimsuits or shorts and jumpers at the Astoria Dance Hall, Charring Cross Road, to see if they would be chosen for the swimming pool sequences in a new Rank film " You know what Sailors are". Twins Sheila and Brenda Jagger aged 20, of Guildford, haven t been in films before but they thought they had the looks and the figure that would help make them both go places in the film industry. But their only worry was if one twin had been selected, the other would have felt a little out of the picture. But their luck held and they were both chosen at the audition for parts in the film.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to May 1953 at the iconic Astoria Dance Hall on Charring Cross Road. Over 50 young girls eagerly gathered, dressed in a vibrant array of swimsuits, shorts, and jumpers. Their destination? The auditions for the swimming pool sequences in an upcoming Rank film titled "You know what Sailors are". Amongst these hopefuls were Sheila and Brenda Jagger, identical twins aged 20 from Guildford. Although new to the world of films, they exuded confidence as they believed their striking looks and enviable figures could pave their way into the glamorous film industry. However, there was one concern that lingered in their minds - if only one twin was chosen for a role, would it leave the other feeling left behind? Fortunately for them both, Lady Luck smiled upon them that day. The audition panel recognized their undeniable talent and charm; hence both Sheila and Brenda were selected for parts in the highly anticipated movie. This photograph captures not just a moment frozen in time but also showcases the dreams and aspirations of these young women who dared to chase after stardom. It serves as a reminder of how determination coupled with natural beauty can open doors to unimaginable opportunities within the enchanting realm of cinema.
