97 years ago today, July 21, 1928 (June 5, 1928 in the lunar calendar), drama queen Ellen Terry passed away. On July 21, 1928, the day Ellen Terry passed away, there were hardly any tears. Laughter and cheerful music were the last demands of the great actress. She once said there should be no sadness when she died. Two generations of admirers only need to clearly remember the innocent girl she portrayed in Shakespeare's plays: Portia, Olivia, Beatrice; These images will always live in their hearts. Erentree was born on January 27, 1847 into an English drama family. She made her debut on the theater stage at the age of 8, playing a little boy in "Winter's Tale." At the age of 16, Terry married George Frederic Watts, a painter twice her age. Their marriage was painful and short. For the next 30 years, she dominated the London theater stage and often toured across the United States. George Bernard Shaw's play "The Change of Captain Brasborne" was written specifically for her, and in 1902 she became manager of the Imperial Theater. She made her son Edward Gordon Craig a designer. In 1925, Ms. Terry was named the Lady of the British Empire.
