Jane Gray (broadcaster)
Jane Gray (1896-1984) was a pioneering Canadian radio and television broadcaster, who was active between 1924 and 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archives Canada )〕 She was one of the first women to pursue a career in radio broadcasting in Canada,〔(Jane Gray ) at the Canadian Communications Foundation.〕 and was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 1988.〔
==Early years==
She was born in Croydon, England in 1896 〔("Jane Gray." ''Canadian Radio Year Book'', 1946 edition, p. 61 )〕 and grew up there. She was interested in theater from an early age, but her parents were religious Baptists and did not want her to be an entertainer. However, they did permit her to sing for church groups, and she also did some performances during World War I to entertain the troops.〔Nicolaas van Rijn. "Jane Gray was Voice of 'Serendipity Jane' in Southern Ontario." ''Toronto Star'', March 22, 1984, p. A22.〕 After marrying a British military officer named Earl Gray, she came with him to Canada as a war bride in 1919; they settled in London, Ontario, where they raised their three children, Earl Jr. (nicknamed "Buddy"), Kenneth, and Dorothy.〔Gary Lautens. "A Grande Dame Without Sophistication." ''Toronto Star'', November 21, 1963, p. 31.〕 But when the marriage failed and she separated from her husband in 1924, she needed to support her children; jobs in London did not pay very well, so she decided to move her family to Toronto, where she believed she could find more lucrative opportunities for employment.〔
