"Margaret Woffington (c. 1720-1760): A Remarkable Irish Actress of the 18th Century. Widely regarded as one of the greatest actresses of her time, Peg Woffington graced the London stage from the 1740s until her untimely death in 1760. Her talent and charisma were immortalized in numerous portraits, including an oil painting from 1753 and an engraving from 1753. A monument in her honor stands in the Church at Teddington. Woffington's legacy continues to captivate, as seen in depictions from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as the 1911 Hogarth print and the 1905 John Brooks portrait. Her impact on Georgian London's theatrical scene remains a testament to her enduring talent and influence." (Size: 150 characters)
