Born Emilie
Charlotte le Breton in St Saviour’s Rectory, Jersey, Lillie Langtry went
on to become a great society beauty and later a well-known actress.
Lillie Langtry went from having just one dress to being acknowledged as a
leader of fashion, from being socially inept to societies 'must have',
and when she lost favour with the Prince of Wales she re-invented
herself as an actress on the advice of her friend, Sarah Bernhardt.
Lillie used her on-stage and off-stage fame to endorse cosmetics such as
Pears Soap. Throughout her life, Lillie Langtry began to understand the
importance of fashion for creating both her public appearance and her
stage persona.
