"Helen Florence Roberts", later known as "Betty Roberts" and by her married name, "Betty Walker", was an English singer and actress, best known for her performances in soprano roles of the Savoy Operas with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.

After beginning her career touring in Italy and then England in grand opera, Roberts joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company as a principal soprano in 1938. She remained with that company for ten years, marrying another company member, the baritone Richard Walker (singer)/Richard Walker, in 1944.

After four more years of theatre in Britain, the couple moved to the US, where they presented Gilbert and Sullivan in two-person entertainments throughout North America. They then moved to Australia, where they joined the J. C. Williamson Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company. They toured with Williamson in the late 1950s and early 1960s. They also appeared in musicals, including a four-year engagement in the original Australian production of My Fair Lady. After her husband's death in 1989, she returned to England.

People think I look kinda weird. You'd think they'd never seen a 43-year-old Aspenite cycling to Louisiana with a trailer before.

Little bits here and there from people who hear my story.

People are very, very, very kind and frequently buy my meals for me.

We're still in a period of limbo in terms of policy in Germany and it may mean that come December nobody has the appetite to issue a new asset. It's disappointing because it would be nice to have a German issue.

My body has held up like I can barely believe.
