 Born Dorothy Bouchier in London in 1909, Chili Bouchier took the name under which she generally appeared from the song 'I Love My Chili Bom-Bom', had the good fortune to live long enough to become a legend of British cinema, with the publicity and the claims in her 1996 autobiography Shooting Star far out-stretching her minor importance in films and on stage. However, she did exude a vibrant personality that kept her career alive. Husband 1 of 3 was actor Harry
Milton (b.London, 1900 - d.1965), who appeared in a few
'30s films, including The King's Cup (1933), with Bouchier, and her second was
actor Peter de Greef, who played Jean Kent's boyfriend in Champagne Charlie (d. Alberto Cavalcanti, 1944).
