Born Georgette Lizette Withers on March 12, 1917 in Karachi, India, she was known as 'Googie' from an early age. Her family returned to England when she was aged seven and she began acting at the age of 12, appearing at the Victoria Palace in The Windmill Man. A student at the Italia Conti Academy of Arts, she was a dancer in a West End production when she was offered work as a film extra in Michael Powell's The Girl in the Crowd (1935). She arrived on the set to find one of the major players in the production had been dismissed, and she was immediately asked to step into the role.

Tonight at 8 PM, PBS/Thirteen in NYC will be airing one of the most comprehensive and revealing documentaries of its kind all about one of the most important theatrical venues in the world, Lincoln Center. The enthralling hour-long doc is hosted and narrated by Broadway baby and a superstar herself at the various venues of Lincoln Center many times over - most famously, perhaps, in ANYTHING GOES in 1987 and her own solo show MATTERS OF THE HEART; plus, this century, the film of COMPANY: IN CONCERT, today's Emmy-nominated SONDHEIM! The Birthday Concert and much more at Avery Fisher Hall - the one and only Patti LuPone. Tracing the origins of the creation of the three-block big performing arts center in what was once a residential neighborhood - the first of its kind in the USA when construction began in the early 1960s - all the way through the recent, extensive renovation, TREASURES OF NEW YORK: LINCOLN CENTER is an engrossing treat for fans of theatre, opera, ballet, architecture and the arts in America in general. Don't miss it!
