Le Gallienne, Eva

Born Jan. 11,1899, in London. American actress.

Le Gallienne made her debut in London in 1914 and performed in the USA for the first time in 1915. Her portrayal of Julie in Molnar’s Liliom at the Guild brought her fame. Le Gallienne has worked at making the theater more than mere commercial entertainment. She organized the Civic Repertory (1926–33) and the American Repertory (1946–47) in New York. Later (1961–64), she organized the National Repertory Theatre. As the leading actress and director of these companies, Le Gallienne sought to bring the best works of dramatic art to a broad audience. She has concentrated especially on the plays of Ibsen and Chekhov. Her best roles have included Masha, Ranevskaia, and Arkadina in Chekhov’s Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard, and The Seagull, respectively; Hedda Gabler and Mrs. Alving in Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler and Ghosts, respectively; and Elizabeth in Schiller’s Mary Stuart.
