About this object(Auto) biographical manuscript / book titled 'OUR STORY: Ellie & Bea' by Ellie Cooke and Babette "Bea" Gee, originally published as 'Once A Trouper, Always A Trouper' (1985), this appears to be the work in progress for an updated version. The prologue states: "We met occasionally over the years. I, Ellie Cooke, the writer/journalist, wrote the original 'Once a Trouper'. This time Bea lets me set the scene for the unabridged version, but appears with her very own writings after the curtain falls upon the First Half." Includes pages with photocopied images and articles, mostly about life in the theatre and touring shows. Towards the end is a copy of an article about 'Our Story' that appeared in 'GEMMA' newsletter, September 2001, which concludes: "Parts of this book must echo the lives of mant [sic] married women who thoughht they were frigid and unresponsive until they recognised thier [sic] true natures."
