Dorothy Squires
Cerys Matthews tells the story of 1940s musical legend Dorothy Squires, who was as famous for her powerful voice as she was for her notorious court cases and outrageous behaviour.
The stormy, glittering life of singer Dorothy Squires, the Welsh diva who died a recluse, presented by Cerys Matthews.
Dorothy Squires was a legend: one of the biggest stars of the 1940s, a glamorous performer, a great recording artist and a true diva. She was famous for her marriage to the young Roger Moore, her notorious court cases, her outrageous behaviour and powerful voice. Her glittering, yet tragic, life began in 1915 in Pontyberem and ended in the Rhondda Valley, where she lived out her final days in a home provided by one of her greatest fans.
Presented by singer Cerys Matthews, this larger-than-life story is a gripping reminder of the talent of one of Wales's true stars.
