Poor Shirley worked so hard by her management. Interesting to hear about Dorothy Squires who is sometimes compared to Shirley. I have heard many times that they knew each other. I was lucky to see Dorothy many times `live` between 1973 and 1990. There was a memorable weekend when Shirley was at the Royal Albert Hall for 3/4 nights and Dorothy was at Wimbledon Theatre so was able to see both of these very special artists in two days.

Glad you were able to have such a great memory. Hope to see Dame Shirley live before I or she leaves this world.
