Busted Out Laughing: Dot Collard's Story as Told to Beryl Hackner

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor edgewear.

Born in 1922, in Waroona, south Western Australia, Dot Collard was as natural a storyteller as she was an international actress. A mother of nine children, Dot was immersed in family life.

It wasn't until she was in her sixties that she launched her career as a theatre and television actress. In this candid memoir, she weaves stories centred around her family in Western Australia. Native Welfare records reveal the pompous bureaucracy of the time, yet Dot's people never lost heart.
