She is played by none other than Ruth Madoc, who visited ITV to discuss the production.
"My role is when we meet Dorothy when she's gone to Trebanog, which is where she ended her days" she says.
"It's her reminiscing about her life - and it was a heck of life!" she says.
"The other side of the stage, you have a lovely young lady emulating her when she was younger, and singing all her songs".
"I remember her very well. She was an icon".

Sherman Cymru play about Dorothy Squires' life
Cardiff theatre Sherman Cymru is currently putting on a production called 'Say It With Flowers', inspired by Dorothy Squires' life and featuring some of her songs.
The theatre says Dorothy "was the pint-sized phenomenon who rose from the Llanelli tin works to the heights of the West End and Broadway to become one of Britain's most successful performers."
"Her life was as dramatic as her songs and was often the focus of media attention; her electrifying on-stage presence, her sell-out comeback at the London Palladium and her tempestuous marriage to Roger Moore, were overshadowed by her predilection for litigation and battles with Rupert Murdoch."
