Description
A celebration of the life of Dame Thora Hird, this book pays tribute to a career in showbusiness that spans almost nine decades. Thora's appearances in everything from "Memento Mori" to Victoria Wood's "Dinnerladies" have endeared her to a nation. Her influence and popularity have been evident through the formative years of British comedy and she has been an inspiration for many writers and actresses. Other stars from stage and screen join to pay a personal tribute to Dame Thora in this book. Their insights and the collection of personal and professional photographs help to reveal this much admired "first lady of showbusiness".
