- Summary
- "A biography of Doris Hare (1905-2000) by her daughter, CUNY professor Kate Crehan. Beginning as a child actor with her parents' portable theatre touring the mining towns of South Wales, achieving success in cabaret and revue in the 1930s, Doris became a household name during the War, hosting a popular radio programme Shipmates Ashore. Twenty years later -- after stints with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre -- she again became a household name playing Mum in On the Buses. This biography draws on family recollections, interviews with colleagues and fans, and the photographs, documents and mementoes collected by Doris herself, which cover the Hare family's history and her own career."--Publisher.
