词条 | Whitlock, Elizabeth |
释义 | Whitlock, Elizabeth British actress née Kemble born April 2, 1761, Warrington, Eng. died Feb. 27, 1836 noted actress in England and the United States. The fifth child of Roger and Sarah Kemble, Elizabeth took naturally to the stage. She often went with her elder sisters Sarah Siddons (Siddons, Sarah) and Frances Kemble Twiss to the Drury Lane Theatre, where she first appeared as Portia in 1783. She was an actress of great promise and was accounted an outstanding tragedienne, but she was eclipsed by the brilliant success of Sarah Siddons. Elizabeth married a theatre owner and manager, Charles Edward Whitlock, and accompanied him to the United States where, as Elizabeth Whitlock, she enjoyed a successful tour. She returned to an enthusiastic London reception at the Drury Lane Theatre in 1807 but thereafter was rarely seen on the stage. |
