American-born, London-based theatre actress and singer.[

Dickson is known mostly for her rendition of the Jerome Kern

Ziegfeld Follies and made many appearances in New York and abroad. In 1922 she

As for her film career, Dickson starred in a few silent

During her early days on the London stage, Dickson was

introduced to another future celebrity (as well as centenarian), whose name was

Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later the Queen Mother. The two became close friends and

their friendship lasted until Dickson's death at age 102.
