 Biography

Beatrice Lillie, comedienne, actress, singer, and author was born May 29, 1894 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She left school for the stage at age fifteen touring Canada in The Lillie Trio with her mother Lucie and sister Muriel.

After coming to London in 1914, Lillie joined Andre Charlot’s Revue, where she later made her Broadway debut in 1924. With a career spanning more than fifty years, she performed in revues, plays, films, on radio and television and enjoyed a successful recording career. Lillie frequently performed both in London and the United States, earning her fame as “The Toast of Two Continents.”

In 1920 Beatrice married Sir Robert Peel, gaining the title Lady Peel. The couple had one son, Robert Peel Jr., in 1921. Beatrice Lillie was widowed in 1934 and lost her son to the war in 1942.

Lillie traveled to the Middle East, Africa, France and Germany to perform for the troops during WWII, an effort for which she received a decoration from General Charles de Gaulle. She developed close friendships with other famous figures, including Noel Coward, Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw, and Charlie Chaplin. During the war Beatrice Lillie met John Philip Huck who would become her manager and life-long companion.

Ms. Lillie starred in shows by Noel Coward, George Bernard Shaw, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz, and Cole Porter. Lillie became best known for starring in This Year Of Grace (1928), written for her by Noel Coward, and received equal recognition for her version of Coward’s song, Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Other notable Broadway performances include The Seven Lively Arts (1947), Inside USA (1948), Ziegfeld Follies 1957, and High Spirits (1964). She toured the world with her one-woman show An Evening With Beatrice Lillie (1952-1956), winning a Tony Award in 1953.

Lady Peel made a handful of films that met with varying degrees of success, beginning with an early silent film Exit Smiling (1926), and ending on a high note with her role as Mrs. Meers in Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967). Beatrice Lillie published her autobiography, Every Other Inch A Lady, (1973.)

Beatrice Lillie retired to England to recover from a stroke in 1977. She died January 20, 1989 at her home, Henley-on-Thames, England. She was 94 years old.

Scope and Content Note

The Beatrice Lillie papers consist of 37.8 linear feet spanning the 1910s to the 1990s. The first three series: Correspondence, Personal Papers and Legal and Financial Papers also include items belonging to Beatrice Lillie’s long-time companion John Philip Huck and his sister Georgina M. Huck. John Philip Huck, heir to Beatrice Lillie's estate, died the day after Beatrice. Beatrice Lillie's stately home in Henley-on-Thames, England fell into a dramatic legal battle that would last several years. The collection includes 2.5 linear feet of estate papers documenting this battle. The collection is strong in biographical works, including two unpublished works. The collection effectively reveals the performer’s humor and colorful persona through lyrics, music manuscripts, and skits written by Beatrice Lillie and by such notable others as Irving Berlin, Noel Coward, Cole Porter, Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz, Richard Rodgers and Lorenzo Hart. A large collection of photographs (5.5 lf.) illuminates a professional and personal Beatrice Lillie.

The Peel Fold estate papers consist of 2.5 linear feet documenting a battle over Beatrice Lillie’s home and property.

Peel Fold was combined with John Philip Huck’s Grassy Hill estate and left, after his death, to co-executrices, Georgina Huck and Suzette Irene Mitchell, Beatrice’s nurse of several years.
