Ireland's Daughter, The Life and Times of Actor Sheelagh Cullen, is the biography of an Irishwoman who made her way from the Dublin of her birth to the stages of London, Hong Kong, and the United States of America over a long career in theatre and television. Her story begins with the challenges of growing up in a Protestant family in a predominantly Catholic Republic of Ireland. Her path led her to studying acting at the age of sixteen while attending Dublin's Trinity College, to adventures in post-war traveling theatre productions in Britain, performing in London's West End, and marriage on the set of a James Bond film. Her artistic journey continued as she started a theatre company in Hong Kong while raising a family, and then moved to California, reigniting her career in Irish stage productions. Through decades of professional travails and triumphs, and personal growth and tragedies, Ireland's Daughter follows Cullen's journey as she comes full circle to reclaim her Irish heritage as an emissary of Irish culture in America.
