So happy Barbara sent me the link to your lovely site and delighted to hear you had a great year. Believe it or not I worked with Allan Corduner at Chichester Festival Theater when I was Wardrobe Mistress. Now we are happily living in Atlanta Georgia working on Music Festivals at Sea!

Dear Miss Ruby
Although I have never met you, I have a slight connection. Your father was my doctor for several years after I was born in 1945 at Morley Hall. I can't say I remember him or where his surgery was, but I must have been taken to him with childhood illnesses until we moved away. My mother knew of you and told me that your original name was Ruby Wigoder. Nice to see the pictures of your father on your web site

Thelma your website it awesome ! Georgia my daughter says you've done far more this year & had a far more interesting time than anyone she knows ! I've been reading your marvellously written pages aloud, here in Glasgow on Christmas Eve,while we finish wrapping presents. Your description of the Hindu funeral of your friend is so beautiful. The photos too, and of your actress friends.You all look beautiful, you inspire us. So sorry I missed your King's Head show, please let me know new year dates. I'm so happy you came to see my play at St James's.

Dear Thelma, My family has a very unusual surname and therefore keep in touch, worldwide. Recent posts on our facebook page have included references to our forebear, Madge Titheradge which has reminded me that when I was 9 I was lucky enough to have been 'brought round' to meet you when you were in The Rose and The Ring at Stratford East. You claimed to see a resemblance between the young me and Madge, with whom you had acted. In researching the web to confirm my memories of the play I found this website and feel I have to tell you what great pleasure you brought my father, Philip, who asked to meet you that evening. Incidentally I thought the play was absolutely lovely and still recall being enthralled by it. What a pity it is not often performed now, being replaced by vulgar 'panto' with self-proclaimed celebs strutting around.
The 'Madge' thread on our page started with seeing 'Finding Neverland' on TV and remembering that she had been Peter in 1913.
Very best regards and good wishes for 2015

Dearest Thelma, what a year! My congratulations at finishing this fantastic record of all your activities. The photos are just too lovely for words! Wish I had been at your celebration in Jerusalem - or at the wedding. What a beautiful family, and what a happy Thelma. And happy, lucky me for meeting you and Peter in Israel forty years ago. All my very best wishes for 2016. Stay well, since all your friends already now look forward to the next record of Thelma's Year.

You continue to be amazing - I hope I can do half as much when I'm 90. I really wish you could have made it to Oz in all your travels. It is a beautiful sunny day here and I will be swimming later. Keep up the swimming and all your other activities. Love from us both

Hi Thelma, It was lovely to meet you at Wimbledon Shul last week. My mum Sheila has often mentioned you . I enjoyed looking at your website, and singing songs with you and chatting over lunch. I didn't manage a Yiddish song with my singing for the brain groups this week. We had too many xmas carols to get through. Hopefully we'll sing Bei Mir Bistu Shein next month. Did a bit of research on it and it's from a Yiddish comedy musical that closed after one season on Broadway!Hope to see you again soon, it was great to spend time with someone so positive and happy. Love Janexx xxxx

Hi Thelma, thank you for your recent letter and the amazing news that you are planning to leave your Pirongs diaries to us. I was really taken aback and feel very privileged. What a narrative they must contain. It is always such a pleasure to receive you letter each year and it is always read aloud in the office and to the wider Pirongs family.

Here I am again, so soon. The nochshleper has returned. I am presently researching for a book on Famous East End Jews. I appreciate that you emanate from Leeds but did you ever come across any of the following: Lionel Bart, Ron Moody, Mike and Bernie Winters, Lew Grade, Henry Goodman, Anthony Newley, Helen Shapiro, Georgia Brown, Alma Cogan, Don Black or any others I have missed out? All anecdotes gratefully received. Now I shall leave you in peace Ever Milton

What can I say? Thelma Ruby, a name I knew. Not related but part of my large family. The Wandering Jews. My mother, Anita Firman (nee Knoll) came from Leeds. I saw Fiddler at least 7 times. And I knew Thelma Ruby so I looked up her name, and found you. I see your friends and family in the photographs and I cry with happiness for you. If we are not family, then who? Thelma you do not know me from Adam but I am pleased, no delighted, to see you are well. What more can anyone ask? My mother is 92. I am blessed too. We are all the survivors and we salute those who did not do so. It was my privilege to share your lovely writing and photographs. May you continue in good health. Sincerely Milton

Seeing the name Thelma Ruby in the recent 'Oldie' I was transported back to the days of 'intimate revues', frequently at the Lyric Theatre. Regrettably I have given all my old theatre programmes away but surely I am right in remembering Thelma as a frequent member of the casts alongside Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Ronnie Stevens? No mention though in all the biographical data in the web site.

You certainly are an inspiration - and a role model for someone like me appraching the end of my seventh decade here on this wonderful and sorrowful earth. I have then re-read your entries for 2009 and "Peter the Director. Yes, you have told the story truthfully and compassionately - thank you for everything. All my best wishes for this new year, which, as I hope, will enable you to go on more journeys and meet your friends in so many parts of the world who all love you because you are such a dear and so wonderful.

Hello Thelma, I Googled Harry Hanson, ENSA, WWII & your site popped up. You've created something quite fun & enjoyable.

Would you be so generous with your time as to give me thoughts on the following? I have a family connection to Harry Hanson who married (in 1950) Gertrude Ayton. Both were performers in repertory theatre. Family memories say Harry performed for the ENSA & that both Harry & Gertrude performed well into thier later years. (Gertrude died age 96 in Blockpool.)

I'm trying to figure out if my Harry Hanson is the Harry who founded a chain of repertory theatres: the Court Players. I hear that the theatre founder batted for the other team so wouldn't have married a woman.

I have pics of both Harry & Gertrude & wonder if you could check them out for me to see if you can shed any light on my Harry.

we are doing well. rachael became a bat mitzvah in october and must have a lot of her grandfather in her. she was so poised on the bema and read the entire service with great aplomb. the whole family was there with the exception of my mother who was laid low by a fall in august which fractured her arm and tore several ligaments elsewhere...she is getting around in a motorized wheelchair or with the aid of a walker.

we will all be going to albany on wednesday for thanksgiving and to celebrate mgb's 94th birthday--a little early as it's actually december 5th.

I and my friend and neighbour, the Norwegian hostess Liv send you and your lovely friend - was it Helen? - our very best from rainy Copenhagen which you shall leave to-morrow.

We are looking forward to seeing you both again in the not too distant future.

Thelma, although we have only known one another for a relatively short time, it is pleasure to count you as a friend. I love your updated site and I was thrilled to be able to see your wonderful work recently at the delightful Jermyn St Theatre. Lunch soon??

Dear Thelma,
I did sign myself in facebook as your friend but it seems that it didn't arrive properly. I also find a website much more friendly to use than facebook. So here I am, letting you know that you are on my "favorits". the sight is absolutely beautiful and I'll go deeper into reading later in the day.
I hope you don't suffer too much from the crazy weather. Please let me know when you plan to arrive in Israel and we shall meet again.
Love
Urith

Thelma,It was my lucky day to have been on the same Air India flight.As you might have guessed, I am not a fan of AI but would not have missed that flight for anything. It has been such a pleasure knowing you and what luck to actually see you in "A Road to Paradise"
Life is for living and you (and Peter) show how to do it well. Keep it up! If I can behalf as alive at 84 I shall count myself lucky.

All the very best until we meet again - soon.

What a privilege to have worked with you & continue to have you in my life. You're more beautiful than ever, generous of spirit & now an Internet geek, noch! Keep going darling girl. We need you-and you're a damn good actress too.

You are truly an amazing personality; you have more life packed into you than God could ever put into 10 individuals. Your life should be discussed in old age homes the world over to give encouragement to elderly people (75 and above)and get enthusiam from your many faceted life and your vivacious approach which pales the vivacity of youngsters also.We are going to be with you in London when we all will celebrate your 90th birthday.

Well done, Thelma. I enjoyed reading about your many escapades. The website is beautifully designed as it should be to house such an interesting subject.
What are you doing next? I hear Auntie BBC is looking for a substitute for Jonathan Woss -- drop a million or three and the job might be yours. It would be ten times as entertaining.
Much love,
John

In fact I found it all SO exciting, that I let a 'typo' escape in my last comment. It should have read "stimulating" !!!

Dear STAR, what a privilege to know you. I loved the stories, and it is amazing you are still with us, with only a painful wrist! The story of the dogs in the dressing room has slipped somehow, a line has flown into the wrong space?xxx

I love the play, “MANY ROADS TO PARADISE” You played your part so well, and even my Taiwanese friend was fooled by you. What an excellent performance! Well done, Thelma!

Enjoyed looking at your web site. Found it when I was looking for information about Harry Hanson's Court Players. I would go there almost every week when I lived in Bradford. My father was the Prop man there. Met many of the actor and actresses and just loved Pat Phoenix who in those days was Pat Pilkington. She lived across the road for us.

I now live in California

What a GREAT Website!!! By the way, I met you back in September 1983 when I was on my way to Israel. I stopped off in London and took the time to go to the Apollo Victoria Theatre to see FIDDLER ON THE ROOF! (Fiddler on the Roof ran from June 28, 1983 – October 29, 1983 at the Apollo Victoria Theatre) Your performance as Golde was brilliant!!! The best I had ever seen!!! After the performance I waited at the Theatres back/side door as you and the other members of the cast came out. I was so lucky to get your autograph. Thank You for taking the time to stop and talk with me and the other fans!!!
