Скачать или смотреть Behind the Limelight: Ann’s Story

Ann Crichton-Harris was the first woman to work as an electrician, running the lights in London’s West End Theatres in the 1950s. She tells how she made her way from Birmingham to London and managed to land a backstage job, which had been her ambition and which she loved. Her job was so unusual for a woman that she was invited at age 20 on Britain’s wildly popular "What’s My Line" television show.

We were honoured at Back Lane Studios to have been able to record Ann's story. Sadly, she passed away on Sunday, Jan. 16, 2022, at age 85. She will be missed by her family, her many friends, her community and everyone who knew her.

Toronto-based Back Lane Studios’ SilverSilver Shorts Doc Project is funded in part by the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors Program. The initiative aims to encourage seniors to tell their stories on video. #whatsmyline #garricktheatre #backlanestudios.ca
