Flora Robson
Actress Dame Flora Robson is questioned about her life and career by an interviewing panel of two. From 1960.
Actress Dame Flora Robson is grilled about her life and career by a panel of two:
* John Freeman
* Philip Hope-Wallace.
After she performed a poem at the age of five, Flora was told by her father she'd be "the next Ellen Terry". But the strain of performing caused a breakdown at the age of 12.
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art beckoned - and the actress won fame for her powerful, emotional acting as an adult.
Her long career included appearances in 60 films and more than 100 plays.
Launched in 1952, Frankly Speaking was a completely novel and ground breaking 91热爆 series. Initially there were three interviewers and the series was both unrehearsed and unscripted.
First broadcast on the 91热爆 91热爆 Service in July 1960.
