Welsh beauty pageant contestant who won the 1961 Miss United Kingdom and Miss World titles before becoming an actress. Born in Rhosllannerchrugog, Wrexham, in north-east Wales in 1943, she moved to Lancashire, England, as a child. She became (as Miss United Kingdom) the first British woman and the seventh European to win the Miss World competition.
After Miss World, Frankland embarked on a short-lived acting career. Her most substantial (and last) role was in the 1965 film, "I'll Take Sweden" starring Bob Hope. In 1970, she married The Grass Roots singer/guitarist, Warren Entner and went to live in Los Angeles. In 1976, she gave birth to their only child together, a daughter, Jessica. They divorced in 1981.
She was suffering from depression at the time of her death-she was 57. She was cremated in USA and her ashes were interred in the cemetery in the town of her birth.
