Ken Dodd, 1970s

Isabel Cheston worked at Wakefield Theatre Club in the cigarette kiosk in the 1970s. She was lucky enough to meet many of the performers.

She often collected autographs from the stars. Isabel got signatures from comedians, singers and musicians, and TV personalities. These examples are just a flavour of her whole collection.

Other autographs in her collection include Joan Rhodes, a stuntwoman and strong woman. Rhodes performed feats such as bending steel bars and tearing telephone directories in half. She became known as the Mighty Mannequin.
