The charity paid tribute to Hepburn, whose global fame brought international attention and prestige to the capital; Bolan, whose “glam rock” innovation redefined the city’s music scene in the 1970s; and Marson, the trailblazing Jamaican poet, playwright, broadcaster and campaigner for racial and gender equality.
Audrey Hepburn, Marc Bolan and Una Marson are among those receiving a blue plaque for their impact on London’s cultural landscapes, English Heritage has announced.
This included creating and producing programmes such as Calling the West Indies, which connected Caribbean service personnel in Britain with their families back home, and Caribbean Voices, which became a vital platform for emerging Caribbean writers.
His iconic look, featuring sequins, feather boas, and platform boots became the quintessential aesthetic of Glam Rock, and also challenged traditional notions of masculinity.
Others to be remembered for their impact on capital’s cultural heritage include Una Marson and Graham Sutherland.
