 Biography of Ellen Terry
Ellen was the third child to be born to Ben and Sarah Terry of an eventual eleven, but one of Ellen's older siblings had already died in infancy so she was the second oldest behind her sister Kate (Terry, 6).
Nevertheless, Terry was disappointed with the state of her acting after this performance with Irving, and within a few months she decided to leave the theater for what would be a six-year hiatus, during which she chose to raise her family and concentrate on her homelife.
Terry was embarrassed by her blunder, but Irving's patience led her to a conclusion that she held throughout her tenure at the Lyceum: "Although I knew more art and archaeology in dress than he did, he had a finer sense of what was right for the scene" (Terry, 157).
