Lily Hanbury

Lily Hanbury

Lily Hanbury (1874 - 5 March, 1908) was an English stage performer.

Educated in London, her début was in 1888's W. S. Gilbert's "Pygmalion and Galatea" at the Savoy Theatre; and later she appeared on most of the leading stages of the English metropolis. Her extensive repertory included, 'Countess Wintersen' in "The Stranger"; 'Hetty Preene' in G. R. Sims' "Lights o' London"; and 'Petra' in Ibsen's "Enemy of the People'.

She reached her peak in popularity, however, by playing a number or roles in Shakespearian plays, mainly under the management of Wilson Barrett and Beerbohm Tree.

Hanbury died of medical complications following the delivery of a still-born child. Following cremation Lily's ashes were interred at the Jewish Cemetery at Willesden, England.
