They captives, the imagination of the public, both of course, in their own time, and now we still talk about Cleopatra and sometimes there famed more for their effect on power. Men than their own accomplishments depends on the woman, but are subject, today is Lily Lang Tree, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world in her own time and lily, has a little bit of a vaudeville path and we were taught

earlier about how interesting it was when we put out a call for favorite vaudeville and how many people suggested it. Girls and they dominate suggestions, definitely and on Twitter and Facebook and emails we received and that's just interesting it it's there not necessarily the biggest properties of the time when later, but there were fascinating, people are still captivated by them. Exactly Whistler called heard the loveliest thing that ever was, and she was also Oscar Wilde, good friend, the Prince of Wales, is mistress. A theatre star, a frequent site in the past hers and the thing that made Sarah laugh earlier in model in a soap add which was possibly be first celebrity endorsement ever and she was scandal think glamorous too, and that's what makes it girl and a girl. I do. Bernard Shaw, rid of her I resent in his laboratory. She has no right to be intelligent, daring and independent as well as lovely, it is afraid,

combination of attributes and to give you Idea of just how people worshipped her we're going to start off with an odd Worry that of Judge Roy being so the wild west with got sagebrush. We have dust and we have saloon in the middle of nowhere Texas, its named the There is a lily and there's a picture of our lovely mislaying tree behind the bar and the boy, Elinor named judge you Roy Bein, whose a pretty interesting guy in its own right his proposal. He find a court, which is a bold thing to do and he has a bare name Bruno who likes beer and we like a liberation combo there so judge being loved Lily Lang Tree and you gotta, remember: she's. The english beauty he's never her, but he's obsessed with her. For some reason he talk about her all the time. He insists that she's gonna

their town some day, which is named Lang tree and events. She does come sadly, he's too high by them, but the town for his beer and Anna tried to recognize her the best having none of it for the record. She denied end up with the bear, but this is, of course, a study. In contrast, have our aristocratic lovely from London and are grizzled saloon keeper and you have to wonder who was the one who won so many hearts, so we're going to begin at the beginning, with her early life, so she was born in eighteen. Fifty. Free and her name was Emily Charlotte later. She goes through several other titles, but that's what we're starting with She was born in the channel islands and she was the only girl out of fixed brothers or father with an Anglo. Clergymen, but maybe not the best one, maybe a little like Lucretia Borgia

father in terms of his profession. Yes, she he enjoyed his affairs very much and her family was very well educated, but they weren't very well off. So perhaps she was looking for a way to get away and enter Edward Lang Tree and his fancy yacht, and he was very flashing. Just something she liked. Member she's, only twenty years old sheath engaged him within a week, but it was a bad marriage yo, partly because he acts like he's wretch and pretence like his rich, but he's not Kenneth like I who wants to marry a millionaire. Remember that original reality shows, and he wasn't a millionaire spoiling, but he's also an alcoholic or her quick husband and its They may have never consummated the marriage had all, but regardless of his pretensions and his alcoholism, he does away from Jersey, which is what she's got for when they move to London together and they move in

society, or at least she does, she was very beautiful. She was very pale, which is why she was called Lily. Voluptuous and also a social climber, but luckily for her, was the time when you could become a professional beauty you're beautiful enough, and you have this aristocratic pedigree, and you were married that we have had area more distant call fire. You could Become this. It girl, by getting your portrait taken or your portrait painted and of the public, would snap at postcards and Memory to things that were made from the images and you ve become famous its I've made Madame acts. I just read a book that are former the hand of the keener recommended really good book called strapless about John Singer sergeant in painting of Madame Patrol

which we know are as Madame acts that seem sort of deal just becoming a site. Professional society you really don't given away. I haven't read the whole thing once our girl, made the right connections. She was and she could make it to the stratosphere of high society. She wanted to end John Everett, Mullay and Whistler both wanted to pay her portrait and Mullay painted her with a lily. And there we have at our Jersey lily. She also makes friends with Oscar Wilde who pretends that he's in love with her in part to avoid being arrested for being gay. We want to do cast on him later. Let us know what you think about that. If your interested in Oscar Wilde were considering doing a whole series on the writers. So again, let us know you think, but although they had a fake romance, wild and land tree did not have a fake friends. But our favorite detail about the story was that she would

around the streets holding a lily in her honor and one's, slept on her doorstep, and we want to mention she stood by him through all his troubles, which not many people did, she was off their friends with glass, Stan, who read: Shakespeare, terror and you have just pretty much idolized by everyone who was someone in town. So now all. Of course, it's time for a prince, because how much higher and London society could you get the Prince of Wales to be exact future King Edward, the seven food seen her portrait ass had all of London and asked to be introduced. Sir Alan Young and explore obliged in eighteen seventy seven and things took off from their Philip well. I was married, of course, he was happily married to Princess Alexandra, who was also really popular with the public but

they had a good relationship except when it came to facts, and he was known to be a pretty serious woman either. So it's not too surprising that he reaches out this popular woman about town he's really enchanted by she. Doesn't I am quite changed by him. Those and the only thing that she wrote about him, was that he smiled, like cigars, probably cause he smoked about twelve day outside, even counting all these cigarettes he enjoyed. I guess they would be pretty memorable that she was the first mistress that he had ever made public, which made her different and the world was just in patiently curious about her she's, a total celebrity now and he starts to move and even higher circles than she had been. She goes to bother Buckingham Palace and meets the most important people and even as presented at court, which is pretty hard to

leave. My and now that the London public is so obsessed with her. Those portraits of her are selling like Craig lying off the shelf and she had a head for business and had told them. She wanted a commission on all those pictures signed the contract so she's the least come into a bit of money, but little has another relationship that is slightly more discreet than this one, a little more glamorous too, and that's with Prince Louis Barton Burg and he's. Interestingly, the his nephew areas. The prince introduce them actually a little growth, keeping it in November and, unlike his uncle, this prince is young and very attractive and to add to his appeal he could have Bulgaria, but he chose not to his very glamorous situation with Prince Louis was a bit more precarious than the one with the Prince of Wales, because she got

man and he was in the navy. So they just sort of send him away too far off lands and tried to give her some money to perhaps take are the situation and it was passed off as the Prince of Wales is baby, not the other ones and people just kind of kept silent that one and she had a girl, Jean Marie who was handed off to her brothers family and she for it to her mothers, her aunt for the rest of her life, and they were never particularly close. An aside new prince Louis. He ends up having to resign his very, very high post in the Navy when people get caught up world, where one fervour and accused him of being a german spies, and he has glamorous or for the wrong sort of reasons and its future other and lilies life is really interesting. Arthur Henry Jones- and we have no idea who he is- and it's interesting because

you don't really know how she felt about either of her princess. She seemed rather ambivalent toward the Prince of Wales and Environmental Gamewell and didn't say much about Prince Louis but this guy. She wrote something like sixty five letters to that were found. You know stashed away and some little spot a very passionate letters of love. This is someone she apparently did care about very much, but the trail ends there. But it doesn't take long for lilies it girl status. To win the prince moves honour. The the crown prince moved on to other love and she's gotta. Look for a job, it's time to make the money. It doesn't help that her husband, Edward has gone, to the? U S and again he's an alcoholic he's gone bankrupt at this point is not sending her any money. She has to figure out what to do so. She's looking for sick

questions. According to one article I read, someone suggested should become a vegetable farmer and then SK or wild suggested actress, which makes them seems like a better fit for Lily. That's two and the prince there, no long together, but he's very happy to use his connections to help her out he's moved on There are Bernhardt, but that in itself is a pretty good connection to the stage exactly, and it was a big deal for a society girl to get on the stage wasn't done, but she did and her debut as an eighteen. Eighty one at the Haymarket Theatre in London and the critic said she was really terrible that people loved her. She sold out the house pretty much every night, probably just coming to see who this personality, well. We language was- and at this point she's also tat to be the face- appear soap, probably figuring. If she can sell just postcards with her picture, maybe she can sell soap

you and she also towards the. U S and appears in vaudeville. Witches brings us around her introduction again and while she's there, she finally divorces Lang tree who seems like a total Darnley and sadly his later life is terrible. He die an asylum after being picked up as a bomb, basically drunken and got her and was declared insane, but people often try to paint her as this woman who left a guy, you know who had lost his money to go, become famous and pursue her dreams on the stage, but clearly that's not really how that all worked out so well. Critics may not quite. Point with how she treated her husband. They do have a point with the money angle. Lily really likes money and she's she's willing tat to do some things together and be lessened scruples. Well she's. In the U S, she met a very rich man named Pretty Gebhardt, who bought her place, men and generally just kept her in style.

Want to marry him, but she should like the perks that came with being in a relationship with him and she may a pretty good amount of money on stage and vote well in her soap advertisements to and when she made. Enough money. She starts performing she retired and she goes on to do a bunch of fun stuff right novels and get into horse racing and do a lot of gambling and Monte Carlo. She goes a bit overboard with that she managed for a while and also got her wish for marrying up. She married a baronet. You go to bath his family, almost disowned, over the whole thing and they lived apart and didn't seem faithful to each other, but you know the pedigree she wanted now and she, I then Monte, Carlo in nineteen, twenty nine and a New York Tribune article noted that an era had ended so that about wrapped up our package, we have a few more

literary references about her that I read Adler from these Sherlock Holmes. Books may have been based on her Lady Windermere Span was definitely written for her, and can you can hear about her song and a wild wrote a poem about her in the eighteen. Eighty is called roses and rule which I think is really completely ridiculous. This line about matching flower with shower, but he did have a complex, I remember I never could catch you for no one could match you and no one at the time could match believing tree and that brings us to a listener mail,

William, wanted to give us a note on our recent podcast and futile Japan, and he said you mentioned in passing about how the samurai helmet kind of looks like Darth Vader summit. This is no coincidence. George Lucas based parts of his star wars story, mainly the jedi on samurai concepts such as the code of honour, the master apprentice Aspect, of course, lifesavers, but dark Peters helmet was indeed designed to be reminiscent of the samurai comment. So, thank you, William, and I can't wait to tell my little brothers about like it and, if you'd like to give us some suggestions feel free to email address that history had cast at how stuff for Stockholm we also have a twitter feed missed in history and a face, but an page so come join us and check out our homepage, W W W that how stuff works, dot com for more on this and thousands of other topics visit how
