A Dundee woman who appeared in Chariots of Fire will celebrate her 100th birthday on Sunday.
Elizabeth Rudd, who was born in Blackscroft in 1915 and has lived in the city for the majority of her life, will join the ‘centenarians’ club’ on Sunday.
Her son Richard Rudd, 67, and his wife Jennifer have flown in from Toronto, Canada, to join the celebrations.
Mr Rudd said: “It’s a fantastic age to reach.
“Unfortunately, due to suffering from dementia, she refuses to believe she is that old.”
Mr Rudd said that, alongside teaching, she worked as an extra in a variety of films including Chariots of Fire, which famously shot a scene on the beach at St Andrews.
It is not known which scene Mrs Rudd was in, but it is a memory she passed on to her family.
Mr Rudd said: “She enjoyed doing it because the food they served on set was fantastic, and she has always loved her food.
“She would sometimes moan that she was typecast as a peasant, and that she must have a peasant’s look about her.”
He added: “She brought me up on her own in a flat in Brown Constable Street.
“She never wanted to work in the jute industry so got a job as a shop assistant.
“The main part of her career was as a teaching assistant for children with special needs.”
