Betty Quin
Betty Quin was an Australian playwright, script writer and series script editor who contributed to numerous soap operas in her native Australia.
From 1970 to 1977 she ran the Q Theatre Company, an amateur theatre company she co-founded with her husband, Don Quin, in Adelaide. Many of her 22 plays and other Australian works were performed by the company. Robert Stigwood purchased the film rights to her 1970 play, Dinkum Bambino, which had been favourably reviewed by The Advertiser's theatre critic, Mary Armitage.
She was the aunt of Patrea Smallacombe, the Australian-born script writer for Coronation Street and EastEnders.
Betty Quin died on 28 August 1993 at the age of 70.
