Mrs. Patrick Campbell (1865-1940) was born Beatrice Stella Tanner in Kensington, London and known informally as "Mrs Pat". An English stage actress, she studied for a short time at the Guildhall School of Music and made her professional stage debut in 1888 at the Alexandra Theatre, Liverpool. Four years after her marriage to Patrick Campbell in March 1890 she appeared in London at the Adelphi. In 1900, having become her own manager/director, she made her debut performance on Broadway and regularly performed on the New York stage until 1933. In 1914 she played Eliza Doolittle in the original West End production of Pygmalion, which George Bernard Shaw had expressly written for her. Her last major stage role was in the Broadway production of Ivor Novello's A Party. In her later years she made notable appearances in films.
