Exits and Entrances
by Eva Moore
About the author
Born in Brighton on February 9, 1870, she became one of the best-known English actresses of her day, with a career that lasted roughly six decades on stage and screen. She appeared in a wide range of productions and remained active as a performer well into the 1940s.
She is also remembered for Exits and Entrances (1923), a memoir that looks back on her life in the theatre and the many roles she played. Beyond acting, she was involved in the women's suffrage movement, which adds another dimension to her public life.
She died in Maidenhead, Berkshire, on April 27, 1955. Today, her memoir remains a vivid doorway into the world of British theatre at the turn of the century.
