Fanny Brough

Frances Whiteside Brough (7 July 1852 – 30 November 1914) was a French-born British stage actress known for her many comedy roles performed over a four decade-long career.

Part of a literary and dramatic family, Brough was acting professionally in London by 1870. She played in a variety of comic and dramatic roles in Britain with several companies and toured America early in the 20th century with Charles Hawtrey. Her career reached a high point in 1902 with her creation of the title role of Kitty Warren in George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession. She continued to act until shortly before her death.
