I have no idea when I first met Dame Doris Fitton OBE, CBE, DBE. She always seems to have been part of my life in the theatre. I remember her name from the 1930s and I believe the first time I saw her on stage was in 1947 when she played the leading role in ‘Mourning Becomes Electra’. When the Pocket Playhouse opened in 1957 she was there, and on stage after performance to praise, encourage and offer advice. Theatre stories about her are legendary. You can read about her life in ‘Tales from along the Wallaby Track’. She was the grand dame of the Australian Theatre for nearly fifty years.
