Kay Roberts began working at Artransa in 1956, initially as a casting director and script assistant on commercials, but soon graduated to directing documentaries and drama. As Kay explains in this clip from her oral history interview by Stuart Glover, she didn’t realise until much later just how uncommon her career was.
