Koo Stark in the Notorious Coming-Of-Age Film
that kept Her from becoming the Duchess of York

Also Known As: THE AWAKENING OF EMILY

director: Henry Herbert
starring: Koo Stark · Sarah Brackett · Victor Spinetti · Jane Hayden · Constantine Gregory · Ina Skriver

The year is 1924. Emily, the teen daughter of a once wealthy family, comes to visit her mother for a few days at their estate in the English countryside during her school break. Emily has one goal in mind. She wants to lose her virginity. And there's more than enough opportunity for that. At first, Emily is surprised by the excessive amount of sexuality around her despite the sharp distinctions within the British class society. But she soon learns how to make the most of the rampant sexual desires.

This film (and CRUEL PASSION a few months later) received much notoriety in the British gossip press because Koo Stark was engaged to Prince Andrew at the time. He was publicly indignant, condemning both films and asking for them to be banned. Instead, the relationship came to an end and Koo Stark missed the opportunity to become the Duchess of York.

Aside from this motion picture, the filmography of Henry Herbert consists mostly of TV projects (25+ between 1977-89). He retired into nobility in the late '80s when he became the 17th Earl of Pembroke. Mr Herbert died from a heart attack in October 2003 at age 64.
