Budgie89: /* Official Mistress */

Née Emilie Charlotte Le Breton. 1853 - 1929. Nicknamed Jersey Lily. British actress.Second Misstress of Edward VII.

== Childhood and early years ==

Lily Langtry was born 13th October 1853. Her parents were Reverend William Corbet Le Breton and his wife Emilie. She grew up with six brothers. She was educated by their brother’s tutor and became unusually well educated for women of the time. The relationship to her brothers also let her grow up to a tough and strong young woman.

== First Marriage ==

Lily was one of the most beautiful girls on the island Jersey and got her first proposal at the age of 14 years. Already in young years Lily had the intention not to marry a local as she wants to leave the island Jersey and live in the high society of London. In 1874 she married the Irish landowner Edward Langtry because of his yacht and because he intended to take her away to London. But her dreams were not fulfilled. She was left alone in the house in Southampton with only the servants for company. So she got very bored and became very ill (typhoid fever). The doctor recommended to her husband that she needed a complete change which would be fulfilling her wish to go to London.

== London ==

Right after their moving to London in 1875 Lily’s younger brother Reggie died in a riding accident. That’s why she wore a simple black figure hugging dress at a reception she was invited to by one of her father's friends the 7th Viscount Ranelagh at his home in Lownes Square. In this way she attracted the intention as young woman of natural beauty. But the guests were also impressed by her intelligent conversation outspoken views and wit. After this reception she got more invitations to other events

== Official Mistress ==
Albert Edward the Prince of Wales hears of Lily and wanted to meet her. So a discreet dinner party was arranged at Sir Allen Young London home. He was very impressed by her Beauty, knowledge and diplomacy and Lily soon became his mistress to the exclusion of all others. Edward’s wife knew of his affairs but ignored them. Lily was invited together with the Prince and was seen with him in public for example at sporting and social events. They also had their own place together in Bournemouth's East Cliff. Lily was treated as today’s film stars. Everyone wanted to know what she is wearing or doing. The affair lasted around three years. Afterwards Lily had a relationship with Edward’s nephew Prince Louis of Battenberg. She became pregnant and in 1881 her only daughter Jeanne Marie was born. She was raised mostly in Jersey as Lily’s niece.

== Actress Career ==

Having a child and a bankrupt husband Lily had to start working to keep her living standard. As her options were limited she decided at the suggestion of her close friend Oscar Wilde to become an actress. She was very successful in her debut in 1881 in a charity production. Afterwards she started her own troupe. Her roles usually reflected society women of beauty and charm. She became even more famous as an actress. Lily also played in one film in 1913 and worked on the stage until the age of seventy.

== America ==

Having great success in England Lily decided to go to America and managed her own theatre company. She played to full houses and later led a winery and had horses which she let take part in horse races. In America she was as famous as in England. She became an American citizen in 1887 to be divorced from her husband

== Second Marriage ==

In 1899, she married the much younger Hugo de Bathe and became Lady de Bathe Lady de Bathe. The marriage was not successful; nevertheless they never got divorced but lived next to each other.

== Death ==

With older age she moved to Monaco and lived in her villa "Le Lys". Her biggest pride was her garden. She died there in 1929.

Mr Bean

Budgie89:

1990-1995. ITV.
Mr Bean is a British Sitcom created by [[Rowan Atkinson]], Richard Curtis and Robin Driscoll. Atkinson developed the character of Mr Bean while he was studying at Oxford University. The series can be seen in over 200 territories around the world. It received an International Emmy and the Golden Rose of Montreux.

The main character is Mr Bean, played by Atkinson, who lives alone in a flat and is always wearing a trademark tweed jacket and a red tie. In each episode he creates pure chaos by solving his little everyday problems. Atkinson described Mr Bean as “a child in a grown man's body” (mrbeantvseries). A kind of second main character is Mr Bean’s Teddy Bear. He treats it as though it is alive like his best friend or child. Also important to Mr Bean is his Mini car which he always “locks” very carefully by removing the steering wheel. Very special about Mr Bean is that does not talk, just sometimes a mumbling or a short half sentence. Instead he uses a lot of facial expressions and gestures. This could explain why the series is known all over the world and very successful. The speechless character and the physical comedy "makes it easy for viewers from all nations to understand and enjoy" (tvrage, n.p.).

The sitcom consists of 14 episodes. The episodes cannot be seen as season as the several episodes are independent productions. Each episode consists of three different plots which normally are not connected to each other. For example in the 14th episode Mr. Bean tries out as hairdresser, afterwards goes to a fair and in the last part of the episode he loses his train ticket.

There exist also two film adaptations: ''Bean'' (1997) and ''Mr. Bean's Holiday'' (2007).
In 2002 an animated series ''Mr Bean: the Animated Series'' followed. This series consists of 26 episodes with duration of 30 minutes

1990-1995. ITV.
Mr Bean is a British Sitcom created by [[Rowan Atkinson]], Richard Curtis and Robin Driscoll. Atkinson developed the character of Mr Bean while he was studying at Oxford University. The series can be seen in over 200 territories around the world. It received an International Emmy and the Golden Rose of Montreux.

The main character is Mr Bean, played by Atkinson, who lives alone in a flat and is always wearing a trademark tweed jacket and a red tie. In each episode he creates a pure chaos by solving his little everyday problems. Atkinson described Mr Bean as “a child in a grown man's body”. A kind of second main character is Mr Bean’s Teddy Bear. He treats it as though it is alive like his best friend or child. Also important to Mr Bean is his Mini car which he always “locks” very carefully by removing the steering wheel. Very special about Mr Bean is that does not talk, just sometimes a mumbling or a short half sentence. Instead he uses a lot of facial expressions and gestures. This could explain why the series is known all over the world and very successful. The speechless character and the physical comedy make it easy for viewers from all nations to understand and enjoy.

The sitcom consists of 14 episodes. The episodes cannot be seen as season as the several episodes are independent productions. Each episode consists of three different plots which normally are not connected to each other. For example in the 14th episode Mr. Bean tries out as hairdresser, afterwards goes to a fair and in the last part of the episode he loses his train ticket.

There exist also two film adaptations: Bean (1997) and Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007).
In 2002 an animated series Mr Bean: the Animated Series followed. This series consists of 26 episodes with duration of 30 minutes
