A portrait
'We went round to see her in her dressing-room, and she was dark and radiant and diabolical and marvellous, and the first thing she said to me was, "How many chins could you count from the front"' (Micheal Mac Liammoir)
'"Nowadays," she said, "they want flappers and I can't flap." She meant one to laugh and one did laugh. She meant one to share in her delighted view of herself as the actress who was finally outmoded because she couldn't flap.' (Giles Playfair)

Mrs Patrick Campbell, for whom Bernard Shaw wrote Pygmalion, was one of the most remarkable women of her day. She was not only, when she felt like it, a wonderful actress. She had great beauty, a prodigious wit. and a capacity for inspiring adoration, even in Shaw himself - the 'Joey' of their long and extraordinary correspondence.
In this programme she is remembered by some of those who knew her, including:
Lord Chandos, Fay Compton, Alan Dent, Dame Edith Evans, Sir John Gielgud, Catherine Lacey, Daisy Kennedy, Micheal Mac Liammoir, Giles Playfair, Athene Seyler together with recordings from the BBC Sound Archives
