My family and I were thrilled at the lovely article Terry Hallett wrote about my mother Betty Jumel (Heydays, July 22, page 23). She was a very special person and our house was always full of laughter when she was around. She never stopped working from the age of 12, initially with her father Harold Jumel and then, until her sixties, in her own right.
We are from a theatrical family and our grandson, at 16 years old, is determined to be an actor like his grandfather Terence Morgan.
I would like to mention that I do not recall my mother playing Humpty Dumpty in Belfast but she definitely played it at the London Palladium with Terry Thomas playing the king. Peggy Mount played the wicked witch and told my mother that she would be - Peggy Mount, that is - a big star. And so she was.
