==Biography==
Hare was born in [[Bargoed]], [[Glamorgan]], Wales. Her parents had a portable theatre in [[South Wales]] and it seemed inevitable that she would become a part of it, making her debut at the age of three in ''Current Cash'' and appearing in juvenile troupes all over Britain as a child, before going solo as 'Little Doris Hare', appearing in [[music hall]], variety, cabaret, revues and pantomimes. One of five, her brother, Bertie Hare and her sisters Betty Hare and Winifred Hare Braemer were also actors and performers

In 1930, the actress toured in ''The Show's the Thing'', taking the part previously performed by [[Gracie Fields]]. In 1932 she appeared in the [[West End theatre|West End]] in [[Noël Coward]]'s show ''[[Words and Music (musical)|Words and Music]]'', alongside [[John Mills]]. In 1936, she made her [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] debut in ''[[Night Must Fall]]''. During the war she joined [[Evelyn Laye]] to put on a revue for the troops and compered ''Shipmate's Ashore'' on the [[BBC Forces Programme]] for the [[Merchant Navy (United Kingdom)|Merchant Navy]], earning her the [[Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire|MBE]] in 1946.

In 1958, she created the role of Grannie Tooke in the original production of [[Sandy Wilson]]'s musical version of [[Valmouth (musical)|Valmouth]] at the [[Lyric Hammersmith]]. She also performed on the recording of this production made by Pye Records in 1959, where she duetted with [[Cleo Laine]], who was standing in for [[Bertice Reading]]. In 1982, when this musical was revived by [[John Dexter]] at [[Chichester Festival Theatre]], Doris Hare, Bertice Reading, [[Fenella Fielding]] and [[Marcia Ashton]] all played the roles they had played in the original production.

In 1963, she joined the [[Royal Shakespeare Company]] and in 1965 joined the [[Royal National Theatre|National Theatre Company]] at the [[Old Vic]]. She acted in plays by [[Shakespeare]], [[George Bernard Shaw|Shaw]], [[Arthur Wing Pinero|Pinero]], and [[Harold Pinter|Pinter]].

She was offered the role of [[Ena Sharples]] an original in serial ''[[Coronation Street]]'' in 1960, she turned the role down and instead it was given to [[Violet Carson]], Hare did however play a smaller role in the series in 1969 as [[List of Coronation Street characters (1968)|Alice Pickens]], who was due to marry [[Albert Tatlock]], but the wedding never took place.

That same year Hare came to national attention in the role of Mrs Butler in ''[[On the Buses]]'', taking over the part from [[Cicely Courtneidge]] in the second series of the [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] comedy. The series ran until 1973 and spawned three spin-off films ''[[On the Buses (film)|On the Buses]]'' (1971), ''[[Mutiny on the Buses]]'' (1972) and ''[[Holiday on the Buses]]'' (1973) in which Hare recreated her small-screen role. The cast also performed a stage version of the series in [[Vancouver]], British Columbia, Canada, in 1988.

In 1974, Hare spent a year in the West End farce ''[[No Sex Please, We're British]]'' and made her final stage appearance, aged 87, at the [[London Palladium]] alongside John Mills in a tribute to [[Evelyn Laye]].

Hare won a [[Variety Club of Great Britain]] Special Award for her contributions to show business in 1982. She died at [[Denville Hall]] the actors retirement home in [[Northwood, London|Northwood]], London in 2000, aged 95.
