Lillian Russell (born Helen Louise Leonard; December 4, 1860 or
1861] – June 6, 1922), was an American actress and singer. She
became one of the most famous actresses and singers of the late 19th and early
20th centuries, known for her beauty and style, as well as for her voice and
stage presence.
Russell was born in Clinton, Iowa, but raised in Chicago. Her parents separated when she was 18, and she moved to New York with her mother. She began to perform professionally by 1879, singing for Tony Pastor and playing roles in comic opera, including Gilbert and Sullivan works. Composer Edward Solomon created roles in several of his comic operas for her in London. In 1884, they returned to New York and married in 1885, but in 1886, Solomon was arrested for bigamy. For many years, she was the foremost singer of operettas and musical theatre in the United States, performing continuously through the end of the 19th century. *Thanks to Wikipedia
