  • ""When I reached centre stage, I turned towards the audience. Applause rang out, though I couldn't imagine why. Instinct told me that something more could be done to please the smiling faces half-hidden in the shadows."Glamorous, ambitious and headstrong, Doreen Lawrence, as she then was, entertained audiences in Britain throughout the Blitz and from 1942 the troops abroad in Africa, India and Burma. Nightly during the Blitz after the curtain fell, she journeyed home in the blackouts.Within days of reaching Cairo, Doreen met Jack Hawkins, already an established star and in charge of ENSA in the Far East. The Company, together with a sergeant, bearers, a cook and laundry boy, criss-crossed India by train, taking light comedy to the Forces."
  • "A captivating account of wartime life, of a young actress who entertained audiences in Britain throughout the darkest days of the Blitz and the troops abroad in Africa, India and Burma - and who found love far from home with Jack Hawkins, the star she finally married."
