I wrote this as straight biography, not ghostwritten autobiography, before realizing that wouldn't do - which shows it pays to properly read the question before attempting an answer!
I was also 15 words over limit. I rephrased it as prose to address these problems. Here are both versions.

‘Twas on the First of April in Nineteen and Sixty-One
That Susan Magdalane, named Boyle, issued to see the sun
But rocketed to stardom ten days and forty-eight years later
On the stage - “Britain’s Got Talent” - all would rise to celebrate her.

At Edinburgh Acting School and Fringe she’d trod the boards
Until angelic-voiced she’d power to pacify the hordes.
To glower in that hour Simon Cowell ceased, repenting;
That she had Great British Talent, judges, viewers, all, assenting.

Though homely in appearance and not visibly a star
It is the heart, not surface only, makes us what we are;
A prominence now rising from domesticity silent
Susan gleaned respect of hearers and won applause violent.

Her song “I Dreamed a Dream” was from Les Misérables oddly
For that it did increase the cheer of everyone there bodily.
Born in Blackburn (Lothian West - not Lancashire) she’d grown
In age and stature and her skill till audibly she shone!

In a home in the town of Blackburn there lived a hobbyist named SuBo, who loved to sing. Not Blackburn, Lancashire but Blackburn, West Lothian (which is equally wet and oozy). However, the home was dry.
I am SuBo! Although it took years before that name came to be heard in the counsels of the Great and Wise, from this homely beginning I set out on my Great Adventure.
The Green Room had a door, with a big brass knob, leading to a tunnel, tiled and carpeted, with many doors off it, winding into the theatre towards The Stage (as people for miles around called it).
This is the story of how I had an Adventure and found myself doing things altogether unexpected. I would face perils - the wizard Simon of the Dark Glower; the ranked hordes of Murmur - hostile forces, inclined however to underestimate the humble…
