-=== Youth ===
+Gaynor (originally Katherine) Young was born on 30 July 1961 in Nakuru, Kenya, where her father was with the local office of African Explosives.  The family moved back to South Africa when he was transferred to Johannesburg.  She attended Durban Girls College as a boarder and then studied drama at [[University of Natal]] in Durban.  As a student she acted in productions like ''[[Andorra]]'' (by [[Max Frisch]]), the musicals ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]'' (as Hodel), ''[[Oliver!]]'' (as Nancy) and ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]''.  For the latter she was awarded the [[Durban Critics Circle]] prize for the most promising newcomer.  After some time in London, where she attended the Desmond Jones School of Mime, she acted in ''[[On the Razzle]]'' for [[NAPAC]] and in [[Pieter Scholtz]]’s production of ''[[The Butterfingers Angel]]'' at the [[Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre]].
-=== Training ===
+After a lengthy recuperation and extensive physical therapy she regained some of her independence and began work on a one-woman theatrical work based on her experiences.  Entitled ''[[My Plunge to Fame]]'', it was directed by [[Maralin Vanrenen]] and from April 1994 she took it to various centres, including the [[Grahamstown Festival]].  For her script she was awarded the [[FNB Natal Vita Award]] and in 2000 it became the title of her autobiography.  The workshopped play ''[[During the Fall]]'' (1990), created by her friend [[Gina Benjamin]], was inspired by her tragic accident.
