    George Bernard Shaw's play, "Pygmalion" was the prototype for the later wildly successful Broadway musical (and film), "My Fair Lady."

    Grace George (1879–1961) was a well known actress, director, producer and writer. She both produced and starred in Major Barbara, by George Bernard Shaw, which had it's U.S. premier at the Playhouse Theatre on Broadway on December 9, 1915.

    Grace George (real name: Grace Dougherty) married producer William A. Brady (1863–1950) in 1899, and was stepmother to his daughter, Alice Brady (1892–1939), (real name: Mary Rose Brady). A son William Brady Jr. (1900–1935) was born in 1900. [1] [2] [3] [4]
     
    There is also a photograph in the LOC Collection on Flickr of Grace George dressed in her role as Mrs. Cynthia Karslake in The New York Idea. The play opened September 28, 1915, at the Playhouse Theatre and was played in repertory with Major Barbara.

Mrs. Pat Campbell in "Pygmallion" (LOC)

  • Wystan said:
    She usually is referenced as "Mrs. Patrick Campbell."
  • swanq said:
    Absolutely, Wystan. And Pygmalion has only one "l". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs_Patrick_Campbell "In 1914, she played Eliza Doolittle in the original production of Shaw's Pygmalion; though much too old for the part at 49, she was the obvious choice, being by far the biggest name on the London stage, and Shaw would have seen it no other way since he wrote the play for her in particular." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmalion_%28play%29 "It [Pygmalion] opened in London April 11, 1914 at Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree's His Majesty's Theatre and starred Mrs. Campbell as Eliza and Tree as Higgins." Pygmalion is the play on which the musical "My Fair Lady" is based.
