Lillian Russell



Good Sunday Morning to you all. From yesterday's Mystery Person Contest, you might have guessed that this week is going to be Famous Actress Week. Each day we will feature a beauty of a bygone era. Today's celebrity is Lillian Russell. The picture was taken in 1898. Lillian lived from 1861 to 1922. She was an accomplished stage actress, singer and performer.

Lillian was married four times, including once to Diamond Jim Brady. I find it interesting that failed marriages is a legacy for entertainers going way back.
