From 1970 to 1977 she ran the Q Theatre Company, an amateur theatre company she co-founded with her husband, Don Quin, in Adelaide. Many of her 22 plays[1] and other Australian works were performed by the company.[2] Robert Stigwood purchased the film rights to her 1970 play, Dinkum Bambino, which had been favourably reviewed by The Advertiser's theatre critic, Mary Armitage.[3]
She was the aunt of Patrea Smallacombe, the Australian-born script writer for Coronation Street and EastEnders.
Betty Quin died on 28 August 1993 at the age of 70.[4]
