Fanny Kemble was born into the most famous acting dynasty of the London stage but, unlike her aunt, the legendary dame of tragedy Sarah Siddons, she did not want to be an actress. Growing up in the Romantic era, she would rather have been a poet like her friend Alfred Tennyson. However, when her father, the actor-manager of Covent Garden theatre, faced bankruptcy in 1829, her appearance as Juliet made her an overnight star. Performing together, she and her father became two of the world's first 'reality' celebrities, their family roles fascinating their audience as much as those they played on stage.Andrews, V. C. is the author of 'Wicked Forest - V. C. Andrews - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780671039912 and ISBN 0671039911.
