Dame Lilian Braithwaite DBE (9 March 1873 – 17 September 1948), born Florence Lilian Braithwaite, was an English actress, primarily of the stage. ==Biography == She was the daughter of a clergyman, and born in Ramsgate, Kent. She was educated at Croydon High School, and married actor-manager Gerald Lawrence, first acting with amateur companies. Her first professional London appearance was in ''As You Like It'' in 1900. She appeared in the 1927 Alfred Hitchcock film ''Downhill''. Her greatest triumph was as the alcoholic mother in Noël Coward's groundbreaking drama ''The Vortex''. She proved that comedy was her greatest asset in a long succession of drawing-room dramas and light comedies, culminating in the long running ''Arsenic and Old Lace'' (1942-1946). Braithwaite responded to the assertion of critic James Agate that she was "the second most beautiful woman in London", by replying, "I shall long cherish that, coming from our second-best theatre critic."〔Nightingale, Benedict, "For love and money", ''The Times Literary Supplement'', 11 April 1986, p. 383〕
