Hilda Trevelyan (Hilda Marie Antoinette Anna Tucker)
(1877 or 1880-1959), ActressSitter in 22 portraits
Actress. Born in Hackney, Trevelyan made her first stage appearance at the age of twelve and, in 1899, toured in The Little Minister by J.M. Barrie, a dramatist who profoundly influenced her long career. Trevelyan specialised in the role of appealing waif or buoyant soubrette, charming audiences with a mixture of comedy and pathos. In December 1904, Barrie cast her in her most famous part: Wendy in Peter Pan, a role she performed on more than 900 occasions. After this she became in the public imagination 'the Barrie actress', appearing in ten other Barrie parts until her retirement in 1939.
