Tangoes, Hollywood Stars, and Life’s Turns
In this action-packed episode, Dorothy takes us back to memorable days in Celbridge and a major move back home to Dalkey.
She shares stories from their time on the banks of the Liffey - including rubbing shoulders with film star Rod Taylor, a cheeky sing-along moment with author Frederick Forsyth, and a dramatic, late-night car crash on the Strawberry Beds where an unexpected "good Samaritan" came to her rescue.
Dorothy also reflects on the memorable dinner parties before recounting a bittersweet move to Dalkey in 1990. From joining the Dalkey Players to navigating immense family changes and enduring Noel's illness, this episode is a beautiful testament to resilience, the kindness of people and a life truly lived to the absolute fullest.
