Felicity had to walk the six miles from West London into the West End, pawning her watch on the way, but on that day she stepped into a new and exciting world, and a golden decade of cinema. She had grown up wanting to be a dancer on the stage. Now she would work on the audience side of the curtains. Felicity Fair Thompson became the first woman in Rank's West End Cinema management, surrounded by movie stars, the rich and famous, all the Royal family, press and film media buzz, and thousands of cinema fans. All her personal memories are here - the inside world of cinema she was part of in those exciting years in Leicester Square.
