Summary: Amy Bock. (Press, 10 May 1909)
Amy Bock was born in Sale, Gippsland, Victoria, 49 years prior to May 1909. A schoolmate of hers, J.C. Bryant, noted that she was both clever and popular during her school years, attending a local State school where Bryant's father was the headmaster. Although she had a somewhat reserved attitude, she enjoyed the company of boys, which was seen as a reflection of her temperament rather than any boldness. As she grew older, Amy developed several talents, particularly in music, and earned a reputation as an accomplished woman. During her youth, she participated in sports, specifically equestrian activities, and won various riding prizes at agricultural shows alongside her brother. Her father contributed to her early exposure to entertainment, organising charitable events where Amy showcased her abilities by playing male roles in performances. Amy's mother had a significant influence on her life. She was known for her dramatic flair and was even referred to as "Lady Macbeth," engaging in theatrical gestures at home. This dynamic between mother and daughter appears to have shaped Amy’s personality and artistic inclinations, suggesting a close bond and a strong motherly presence in her formative years.
