LILLIE LANGTRY
Lillie Langtry (1853-1929), a socially ambitious vicar's daughter, was a professional beauty who became a world-famous actress. However, she was not known for her skill as an actress - one review said of her "she does not act, she is" [77]; rather she was famous for her notorious affairs and great beauty. Daisy, Countess of Warwick, another of Edward VII's mistresses, said of Lillie "She had dewy violet eyes, a complexion like a peach. How can words convey the vitality, the glow, the amazing charm that made this fascinating woman the center of any group she entered." Another said of her "A creator and settor of fashions, in her attitudes to social conventions, clothes, sex, the paraphernalia of living, she was at least fifty years ahead of her times"[59].
