Ellen Terry was a natural actress who filled the theatre with a magical radiance. The child-bride of G.F. Watts, she eloped with a friend of Oscar Wilde at 21 and gave birth to two illegitimate children. But her greatest partnership was on-stage, with legendary actor-manager and tragedian Henry Irving.
