Lily Dampier

[2][3][4] Her best known stage parts were Sylvia in For the Term of His Natural Life and Kate in Robbery Under Arms.

[5] She also performed many roles from Shakespeare and worked in England.

A contemporary described her as a better actress than her sister Rose: Certainly she was the more forceful, physically, and vocally, but she was disqualified for high tragic roles by the fact that she had ridiculously small feet for a well developed woman, and used to walk in mincing and tottering steps in moments when rhythmic striding was needed.

[8] Lily was staying in William Street, West Melbourne when she took ill.

Her husband was filming in Sydney and was going to take her to a private hospital when she died.
