context_page_description: Cora Goffin later known as Lady Littler, was a British actress on the London stage, in pantomime, and in two silent films.
context_section_description: Cora Goffin was an actress on the London stage from her teens, where she often played children, including boys. She played Little Lord Fauntleroy, Colin in Mother Goose, a principal boy in Jack and the Beanstalk, and Alice in Alice in Wonderland (1913), sometimes billed as "Little Cora Goffin." "Cora cannot have been more than twelve years old, but she spoke the lines of her long part with the assurance of an old hand, danced on her toes like a little prima ballerina, and took her encores with the enviable enjoyment of unspoilt childhood," commented a reviewer in The Guardian. She toured with the Juvenile Shakespeare Company, and starred in a touring production of Sweet Lavender.
  During World War I, she performed at a benefit show for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Dental Aid Fund. In 1923, she was the female lead in The Talk of the Town. In 1926, she played the lead in No, No, Nanette after Binnie Hale left the role. There were reports that she had her legs insured for ₤20,000 with Lloyds of London. She performed in pantomime shows produced by her husband in the 1930s, especially Aladdin. She retired from the stage in 1940.
  Goffin appeared in two silent films produced by the Lambart Film Company: Romance and Reality (1921), Down Under Donovan (1922). She sang on radio programs in the 1930s.
