Ken Loach's directorial debut, ``A Poor Cow,'' has a consistent perspective up to the present day.

When filming `` Last Night in Soho '' (21) began, director Edgar Wright reportedly instructed Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin McKenzie, and Matt Smith to watch the film.

"For Anya Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie, it was to get Carol White, who plays an 18-year-old single mother and part-time photo model, to be seen. White's performance in this film is heartbreaking. It's so real, and the fact that she was an actress whose career was derailed by alcoholism and drug abuse, and who tragically died at the young age of 48, resonates all the more deeply with Roach's documentary style. The realism shows London in the late 1960s more accurately than most other films." (Edgar Wright)

``Up the Junction'' caused controversy due to a scene in which a young woman undergoes an illegal abortion. ``Cathy Come Home'' is about a young single mother (Carol White) who becomes homeless. After these works (particularly the latter) were aired on television, they not only caused a great response in the UK, but the aftermath also spread to Parliament, and is said to have led to subsequent amendments to the Housing Act. Legend has it that many viewers who watched the film were unable to distinguish between fiction and reality, and some even offered Carol White, who played the heroine, money on the street. Her acting is so true to life in this film, which has intense and heartbreaking scenes in which a trailer house is burned down and children are separated from their children by the protection authorities.

Carol White, who admired Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot, sings Marilyn Monroe's `` Some Like It Hot '' in ``Up the Junction.'' In addition, ``As Poor Cow'' features a model photo shoot scene that mimics Brigitte Bardot's photo session. Here, Carol White echoes Ken Loach's ``collision'' approach, which throws documentary naked into fiction (and vice versa) by allowing her to project herself into her work.

Carol White gained attention for her trilogy with Ken Loach, and then moved to Hollywood. Director Mark Robson's first Hollywood film, the thriller "Baby on the Roof" (69), suppresses the direct portrayal of the bizarre, but with its finely honed direction and technique, it depicts the stalker's bizarre nature. It is a masterpiece that clearly exposes the blood flow on the screen. Carol White plays the role of a mother who is driven towards her ex-lover who has turned into a stalker, with a performance that is an extension of her work with Ken Loach.

In ``Some Call It Loving'' (1973), directed by James B. Harris, she plays a dream-like woman who lives in a mansion. The protagonist takes ``Sleeping Beauty,'' a woman who has been used as an exhibit at a show and cannot wake up from her sleep, back to the mansion. This is an unusual masterpiece that depicts the risk of waking up a sleeping beauty in the form of fantasy and awakening being reversed. Carol White plays a woman with dangerous nerves exposed.

Carol White's nerves exposed. In the excellent documentary ` `Versus: The Film and Life of Ken Loach '' (Louise Ormond/16), which follows Ken Loach's career, he says, ``Carole was a defenseless woman who was seduced by Hollywood.'' It was getting worse.
