Variety performer Fay Lenore Scott who famously shared the stage with stars including Rikki Fulton and Stanley Baxter has died at the age of 97. Born Mary Leonora Faith Dodwell in March 1928 into a showbiz family in Newcastle, the star enjoyed a glittering career spanning more than six decades. In 2007, the Scottish Music Hall and Variety Theatre Society honoured her contributions to entertainment with a special event at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. Shortly afterwards, Ms Lenore was also seriously hurt in a car crash and surgeons are understood to have had to rebuild her face. Her death notice states she is survived by her daughter Shona, son Robb, grandchildren, and their families ‘together with her theatre family from across the world’.
