Roma Guillon Le Thière

Roma Guillon Le Thière (c. 1837–1903) was an Italian actress[1] whose career was on the London stage.

[2] In January 1878 she created the part of the Marquise de Rio Zares in Diplomacy, an adaptation of Dora by the French dramatist Victorien Sardou, at the Prince of Wales's Theatre.

A reviewer in The Daily Telegraph (8 February 1878) wrote: "Especial attention may be invited to the scene between mother and daughter in the first act, so excellently sustained by Miss Le Thiere as the Marquise de Rio Zares, and Mrs. Kendal as Dora.

We have here a picture of pure and tender affection approached in an earnest spirit and touched by both ladies with graceful skill, a scene instinct with variety, charm, and truth.

[3] In April 1893 at the Haymarket Theatre Le Thière created the role of Lady Caroline Pontefract in A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde, directed by Herbert Beerbohm Tree.
