Granny Davis Carries on as usual "I'm everybody's granny," says Mrs Myrtle Woods with a smile, and there is much truth in what she says. Myrtle is 95 and her vision is severely impaired due to cataracts. But her personality is in no way impaired. She sparkles, as Margaret Humphrey, welfare officer, working from Kooyong, will attest. Back in the 70s she was, indeed, the best known Granny in Victoria. Remember Granny Davis of bread fame? Granny Davis who smiled from scores of hoardings and advertisements; who handed out samples of her product at supermarkets and exchanged pleasantries with Graeme Kennedy on television twice a week. Mrs Myrtle was an actor when she was chosen for the Granny Davis role. She is still an actor, picking up cameo parts. "They send for me whenever they want a funny old lady." Her most recent part has been at the Kooyong day centre of the Association. The role? (Wait for it.) Little Red Riding Hood - not Granny. "Not your regular little Red Riding Hood either," she says with a smile in which twinkles just a hint of sauciness.1 colour photograph of Myrtle WoodsAttached to the back of the image: Granny Davis Carries on as usual "I'm everybody's granny," says Mrs Myrtle Woods with a smile, and there is much truth in what she says.
