With no escort, we were a sitting-duck. We had it all \u2013 dive bombing, machine gunning \u2013 you name it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Googie, together with the theatre\u2019s grande dame, Dame Edith Evans, was in Antwerp, a beleaguered city, playing the title role in the stage play, Mrs John, \u201cThe theatre was part of a complex which backed onto a cinema, over the top of which was a sergeants\u2019 mess. It was a Saturday matinee &#8211; the place was packed. I\u2019d just been called by the stage manager and was making my way to the stage when we had the direct hit. I remember being sucked back into a sort of hole by the most tremendous force.\u201d Miraculously, Googie survived and managed to climb-out of the debris and into what was left of the theatre, \u201cThe auditorium was now an open space. In front of me was a mountain of rubble. I knew, instinctively, that everybody \u2013 all of my audience, and there was about a 500 of them, were buried beneath that pile. There was about the same number in the cinema and sergeants\u2019 mess. They were dead. Finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only the seven actors, the two stagehands, and the six Pioneer Corps Musicians survived, \u201cSuddenly, coming-up out of the rubble of what had been the orchestra pit was a trombone. It was terrible funny, and we all laughed. Then we saw the priests going-by. They were blessing the mound,\u201d Googie recalled. However, there was no time for moping, \u201cWe were ordered to get cleaned-up, and to get-on with the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The V-2 direct hit is recorded as the worst of the war and prompted an issue of orders prohibiting such large gatherings of soldiers. Years later, Googie was filming in Bath when she was recognised by a group of tourists from Antwerp. \u201cThey knew all about it from their school history lessons,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Georgette Lizette Withers AO, CBE,\u00a0 17 March 1917 &#8211; 15 July 2011.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70536\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70536\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-70536\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/goldenplains\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/SIR-ROBERT-HELPMANN-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/SIR-ROBERT-HELPMANN-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/SIR-ROBERT-HELPMANN.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70536\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sir Robert Helpmann.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Forty-years after WW2, Sir Robert Helpmann was in Melbourne starring as Lord Alfred Douglas in the stage play, The Cobra. A council utility pulled-up at the traffic lights. The tray was packed with potted marigolds, bringing a vivid splash of colour to the grey day. He watched silently, his watery, bulbous, blue eyes staring. Then, as the utility moved-on, he said \u2013 as if to no-one in particular. \u201cThat\u2019s how they got us out of Holland; hidden underneath pots plants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without encouragement he explained how, in 1940, \u201cMargot (Fonteyn) and I were dancing two performances a day of Swan Lake on the back of a truck in Arnhem when the Germans invaded Holland.\u201d Sensing the inevitable, the Dutch had contingency plans to impede the German progress: dikes were burst to flood the lowlands, and a bridge over the Lower Rhine, leading to the city of Arnhem, was destroyed by the Dutch Army.<\/p>\n<p>Helpmann continued, \u201cAt the end of each act they told us what they knew of the German advancement. As they got closer, we danced faster. At the end of the performance a charming woman \u2013 a Baroness and part of the Dutch resistance \u2013 made an impassioned speech in Dutch and Flemish. Her 11-year old daughter presented us with bouquets which Margot and I snatched, and ran. To get to the boat we had to lie-down on the back of a truck and they hid us underneath pots plants. It took us six-weeks of dodging the mines to criss-cross our way back to England.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Years later, Helpmann was in Hollywood for the debut of a new film star. On being introduced she said, \u201cI think we\u2019ve met before.\u201d He thought not. She persisted, politely, \u201cOh yes we have, most definitely.\u201d She explained she was the girl who presented him and Fonteyn with a bouquet of flowers in Arnhem. Unusually, he smiled, wistfully for Sir Robert, being a most unsentimental man: \u201cIt was Audrey Hepburn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sir Robert Murray Helpmann CBE., 9 April 1909 \u2013 28 September 1986.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70537\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70537\" style=\"width: 193px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-70537\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/goldenplains\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/MARLENE-DIETRICH-GOES-TO-WAR-LONDON-1942-193x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/MARLENE-DIETRICH-GOES-TO-WAR-LONDON-1942-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/MARLENE-DIETRICH-GOES-TO-WAR-LONDON-1942-657x1024.jpg 657w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/MARLENE-DIETRICH-GOES-TO-WAR-LONDON-1942-768x1197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/MARLENE-DIETRICH-GOES-TO-WAR-LONDON-1942-986x1536.jpg 986w, https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2020\/08\/MARLENE-DIETRICH-GOES-TO-WAR-LONDON-1942.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marlene Dietrich goes to war &#8211; London 1942.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Actress, Marlene Dietrich, spent more time on the front-line than any other entertainer &#8211; even when she had pneumonia.
