Rutland Barrington as Captain Corcoran in HMS Pinafore. (from Rutland Barrington, ???A record of 35 years??? experience on the English stage???. SCANDALS involving famous actors of the Victorian era have been revealed in a new book detailing the rise of celebrity culture. Stunning pictures show portraits of some of the most well-known stage performers of that time, each with a story to tell. William Terriss was stabbed to death by a deranged and disgruntled actor Richard Archer Prince outside the Adelphi Theatre on the Strand, in what was probably the only murder of an actor in Britain during the Victorian era. Other images show Kate Rorke whose religion was the focus of newspaper gossip in the 1890s, William Horace Lingard in drag who was the subject of a bigamy case and Cornelie D???Anka who was the victim of a stalker in 1871 where she had a pistol pointed at her and a bullet delivered to her at a theatre. The images and stories on each actor are showcased in a new book, Life on the Victorian Stage, by Dr Nell Darby and published by Pen and Sword.
