HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1957-07-25, Page 3WEDDING DAY — ClevelandIndian's pitcher Herb Score and his bride, the former Nancy McNamara, smile after their mar- riage. The southpaw's right eye showed ho ,signs of the injury he received when he was hit by a line ;drive in a game with the Yankees. Secret of The Fabulous Lady Decker "I haven't a million," claims Lady Docker, "I never have had a million!" Once, when asked how much money she had, she confessed, "About £150,000—and !that's better than a slap in the face with a wet fish," Of course, nobody is particu- larly interested in •the precise Qum lovely Norah Docker is worth. The world is content to have her just as she is—ecstati- cally demonstrating how to play marbles slapping faces at Monte Carlo and always fabulously blending caviare and contro- versy. It is common knowledge, how- ever that her first husband left £177,500 and that her second husband left £955,000. Death duties depleted these fortunes, but they may have been re- lrieved since then by shrewd Investments. Twice widowed, Norah Docker has known heartbreak as well !is happiness. She also has known what it is to toil in a shop, sel- ling hats, for fifty shillings a week. Maybe that is the secret of her vivid appeal. Even before she had money, she was afraid of Nobody and nothing. Now that the has cash, her unconventional fun daunts the acid brigade. There was that wonderful oc- casion when Lady Docker visited R coal mine and afterwards told the miners, "Now you must come O see' me!" Sure enough, thirty - three cloth - capped straight - talking colliery workers were duly ush- ered aboard Sir Bernard •Dock- er's luxury yacht Shemara, the largest British private yacht registered at Lloyd's. "It's a simple ship, really," Norah Docker explained, as she showed her guests around the opulent staterooms, the seven' tiled bathrooms and the deep - carpeted lounge with its huge, open fireplace. She knew they would thoroughly enjoy this private peek. Liberally they feasted on sal- mon and lobster, cold roast pheasant, three saddles of lamb, a baron of beef, game pie, chick- en and duck. The English Chan- nel was afterwards littered with scores of empty champagne bot- tles. Perhaps the highlight of the occasion was the delightful spec- tacle of Lady Docker herself, in bell-bottom slacks, dancing a hornpipe while the guests roared applause and Sir Bernard beam- ed bland approval. She made a host of friends, also, when she answered the chal- lenge issued by the girls of a Yorkshire factory's marble team. Wearing a glamorous gown of peacock blue for the "reet do," Norah showed unexpected abil- ity to win a decisive nineteen Points to twelve, and became un- official women's marble cham- pion of the world. One can have nothing but ad- miration fbr the way Lady Doc- ' ker rallied to her husband's cause during the B.S.A. contro- versy. She autographed more than ten thousand photographs Of herself to accompany letters she sent to stockholders. The fabulous Norah gained immense popularity but shock- ed the snobs by signing auto- graph -books at the Royal Ascot mice meeting. "If it, gives a little happiness," the said defiantly, "I don't care what some people think." And *he startled millions of viewers 'When she appeared on the tele- vision screen wearing jewellery that looked like a queen's ran- som. "What do you think?" she bubbled. "It cost only zt3, 4s. Lady Docker believes that a woman's first duty is to be a woman, and look as glamorous as she can afford to. Most people find her gaiety quite infectious, and she makes it very evident that she thor- oughly enjoys being a Cinder- ella of real life. To understand Norah Docker you have to remember that her father died when she was only sixteen, and that she and her mother faced a bitter struggle to keep things going, They had to move from their big house at Edgbaston, and young Norah Turner helped her mother run a small hotel. Hard times continued and Norah thought they could do better in London. It was during the dance -mad 'twenties, and Norah fancied her chances as a professional dance teacher. She spent far more than she could afford on a course of lessons with Santos Casani. "Norah was my best dancer," he recalled. His ambitious pupil, however, soon discovered that there were far too many dance teachers and too few pupils. Living with her mother in a tiny fiat in Bayswater, Norah knew what it was to be uncom- fortably poor. She took a job in a big department store, selling hats, with a sales commission of a penny in the pound. She was told there was a MERRY MENAGERIE "Look, dear—I've had a pee - ,anent!" store rule that girls of the staff should wear blown dresses, De- termined to look smart, Norah splurged on a brown satin frock — only to : discover that store dresses 'had to be of brown cot- ton or wool. "You will have to go unless you follow the rules," Norah was reminded. "I've gone!" she retorted. For a time she worked in a little gown shop in Birmingl. sm, and maybe she was just one of many •girls dreaming that one day they might marry million- aires. Norah didn't marry a million- aire. She was twenty-eight when, at a party, she met Clem' Callingham, a director of a wine firm. The couple fell deeply in love, and soon were married. Their marriage lasted for sev- en years, affording perfect • hap- piness, and they had a son, Lance. During the war Norah drove an ambulance; but apart from that her only interests in life were her husband and her son Norah was stunned with deep grief when Clem died. But he had told' her: "If anything hap- pens to me, you should remar- ry." He had introduced her to Sir William Collins, who had lost his own wife only ` two years before. The widow and the wi- dower found companionship in their mutual grief, and they were married; but the union of • these two lonely people was • to; - prove tragically brief, for Sir William died a year later. The gay Lady Docker remem- bers how, in those days, she used to cry herself to sleep. Her 'life; r? entirely changed once more,;,,t, however, when she met Sir.Ber; nerd at a charity dance. The Collins money had come t from jam, pickles, tobacco; a { department store and other in vestments. ' Bernard had inheri- ted an estimated £3,000,000 from, his father, chief of a railway;,, .. car company; and he had mar- ried a film actress, but divorced' her in 1934. Thus Norah had not always been rich and Bernard',, had not always been happy. Norah knew that Bernard was'< fi the man for her when she saw'.`. him come home one day from a shooting expedition, with his, arm affectionately round her sons° shoulder. It was the bor;, himself who asked them whe-• . ther they wanted to marry. To -day young Lance is the fo- , cus of the . family. Lady Docker'' is not ashamed to live the full life that is every woman's sem' ret dream. And Sir Bernard:-'.; dulgently shares tli,e full 7 the air of a man who knc deep, inward tranquility. :.CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING AGENTS WANTED • BE YOUR OWN BOSSI MEN or women, can work your own hours, and make profits up to 500% selling exclusive houseware products and appliances.
