 | | Rachel Roberts was born in Llanelli, Wales, on 20 September 1927, the daughter of the Revd. |
 | | Later that year Roberts was in the company of the revue At the Lyric (an apt title, for the show was staged at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith), and stayed for its West End transfer to the St. Martin's Theatre, where it was renamed Going To Town. |
 | | Roberts' final musical was undoubtedly her finest moment in musical theatre, as the heroine of Lionel Bart's grand hymn to Liverpool, Maggie May. The role of the lovable dockyard tart had been intended for Georgia Brown, who turned down the chance to play it. |
