American-born, London-based theatre actress and singer.[
Dickson is known mostly for her rendition of the Jerome Kern
song "Look for the Silver Lining". She was also a member of the
Ziegfeld Follies and made many appearances in New York and abroad. In 1922 she

During her early days on the London stage, Dickson was

Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later the Queen Mother. The two became close friends and
their friendship lasted until Dickson's death at age 102.
