Third Sector | NEWSMAKER: Voice of the forgotten - Marjorie Wallace
19 November 2003 / Third Sector
At the age of 15, Marjorie Wallace wanted to be an opera singer. But when she was told she would never make it past the chorus, she abandoned that dream. And she has carried this all-or-nothing attitude with her ever since.
"Nobody wants to be remembered as being anything but the best they could have been," she says. "I certainly believed that I could be more than the maidservant in a matinee light opera."
