Rosie O’Donnell talked about her cameo on Bomb Girls with Canada.com. She said of her character, reporter Dottie Shannon:
She was sort of the first feminist in a way, before the feminism movement really took hold, and she was explaining to these women that they were underpaid, that this factory was built on their backs and yet they were not getting compensated for it and that there were dangers everywhere. It’s a great character to play and she really does cause a tremendous amount of change and introspection for Meg’s character, Lorna.
I hope she has some interactions with Betty!
