Re: Let's Carry On.

In Carry on Columbus, June Whitfield played Queen Isabella, but two other actresses had turned down the role. Can you name either of them?

Spot on. TBH I am not really sure why the Stephen Fry audio book recordings were not used for the US market, instead of going to the expense of having Jim Dale also record them, much as I like and respect Jim Dale.

I would love Stephen fry to be my Dad.

Who Am I
I made my stage debut at age 11 after having spent several years in a prestigious acting school. A string of stage roles followed, and by 1929 my success led me to move into radio. My success in that medium led to my entry into films, often working alongside noted comedian Will Hay.

Educated guess. The Scarlet Pimpernel? Not sure of spelling.

Correct. The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, first a play, then the more famous novel.
