Personal Quote:

"I took to drama such as School for Scandal and She Stoops to Conquer like a duck to water. I didn't really do Shakespeare. To be honest, by the time you've started from the top of a line and got to the bottom of the page, you've forgotten what the gag was." (Stage Newspaper, January 2005). See more »

Trivia:

In 1949 she announced her engagement to actor Barry Wicks, only to declare, nearly two years later, while in a summer show at Bexhill-on-Sea, that she was "too busy" for marriage. She never married and was survived by two brothers. See more »
