The Diary of Lillie Langtry

By Donna Lee Harper

Lillie visited America often. Her famous 6,000 mile trip by wagon, boat, ship and foot have been reviewed thousands of times. In this novelized form of her history, Donna Lee Harper takes us into her private moments with famous others. Lillie had strong relationships with the likes of Oscar Wilde, Bat Masterson, and others. Harper, also from Lillie's hometown, spent much of her life researching a woman she ended up calling a friend, although she'd never met her.

"At first people came to see her out of curiosity, but she quickly won them over with her beauty, charm and personality if not her acting talent," Harper said. "During her more than 30 years of performing in the United States, Lillie Langtry came into contact with numerous men and women who are now legends."
