ABOUT LILLIAN RUSSELL: Born Helen Louise Leonard, December
4, 1860,in Clinton, Iowa, "Nellie" (as her family called her) was destined to become"An
American Beauty." Undoubtedly the most photographed woman of her time, a blonde
bombshell imitated even by Marilyn Monroe, and as buxom as Dolly Parton, Lillian
Russell was the queen of the American stage.
Her introduction to the
theater was in 1878 as a chorus girl in Pinafore. Two years later,Tony Pastor, the
"father of Vaudeville," introduced her as Lillian Russell, the "English ballad singer,"
and extolled her as "a vision of loveliness and a voice of gold." She soon went
on to become the first lady of light comic opera. She was known as a diva, and referred
to as "the peerless prima-donna."
