Alma Butterfield was an Australian writer and actor. She was best known for her work on radio including a long stint on Blue Hills.[1]
According to one critic her performance in Slaughter of St Teresa's Day was "sublime: she brilliantly encapsulates an entire generation of Australian womanhood, with her hunched shoulders, faded dress, mangled vocabulary and verbal sniping."[2]
