Faucit, Helen(a) Saville (1817–98), English actress, trained by Percival Farren, great-uncle of Nellie
Farren. A woman of great charm and beauty, she did her best work in revivals of Shakespeare and in new verse plays, many of them specially written for her. She first appeared in the provinces in 1833, and in 1836 made her début in London as Julia in Sheridan
Knowles's The Hunchback. A year later she was seen in
Browning's poetic drama Strafford and then had a great success in one of her best parts, Pauline in
Bulwer-Lytton's The Lady of Lyons (1838), playing opposite
Macready. She was also in Browning's
A Blot in the 'Scutcheon (1843) and
Colombe's Birthday (1853). Her finest Shakespearian roles were Juliet, Portia in
The Merchant of Venice, and Desdemona in
Othello. In later life she acted almost entirely for charity and became the friend and guest of Queen Victoria.
