Dorothy Minto


Dorothy Minto was a prominent actor on the London stage between 1905 and the mid1930s, notably appearing in the first runs of several plays written by George Bernard Shaw. She also featured in a small number of films between 1916 and 1936. While her early stage career concentrated on classical plays and serious new work, from 1912 onwards she devoted herself more to musicals and comedies.

Many references to Dorothy Minto state or imply that she was born in 1891 . This is based on the assumption that she was justyears old when playing Juliet in a 1905 production of Romeo and Juliet. However, she was born in 1886 and raised as Dorothy Scott. She was very probably the daughter of Harriett Chambers of Edinburgh, a member of the publishing family that produced the Chambers Dictionary.
