    1. [DEWHURST-L] Re:Terry's great posts and Colleen Dewhurst

    3. Hi Terry, Again, thanks! Will go check it out as soon as I post this. Did want to let everyone know that Betty MacDowell and I did some work on the Colleen Dewhurst line today and have to go back to the drawing board a bit! I happened to have her autobiography which offers info a little different than what we first thought. Colleen herself offered these facts: (pgs 26-29): * born in Montreal, Canada, 1924 (didn't see actual birthdate noted...) * settled in Boston ~age 5, moved to Dorchester, Mass at age 6, then to Auburndale, Mass (5 schools between gr. 1-6), then West Newton, Mass, then Bronxville Ave., New York City; nickname "Dewy" * father Fred was "well-known athlete in Canada, where he had played football with the Ottawa Roughriders," divorced Frances in 1938 * mother Frances was born on a farm "up the Gatineau," lived there until ten, moved to Ottawa, didn't get along with her own mother, adored her own father, named Thomas * sons named Alex (m. Irene) and Campbell (m. Annie), fathered by George C. Scott * Colleen d. August 22, 1991, age 67 Once we have made sure we have it right, we will let you know and maybe post it on GenForum as well...
