Harriett Everard
Harriett Everard (12 March 1844 – 22 February 1882) was an English singer and actress best known for creating the role of Little Buttercup in the Gilbert and Sullivan hit ''H.M.S. Pinafore''. Her career was cut short by an onstage accident during a rehearsal, from which she never fully recovered.
Everard had a stage career of 20 years, although she died at the age of 37. She appeared in some of W. S. Gilbert's early plays before becoming part of Richard D'Oyly Carte's company at the Opera Comique, creating the role of Mrs. Partlett in ''The Sorcerer'' as well as the part of Little Buttercup.
==Early life and career==
Born Harriette Emily Woollams in Marylebone,〔〔''The Era'' spelled her first name thus in its obituary notice, 25 February 1882, p. 8〕 Everard made her first stage appearance in Exeter, at the Theatre Royal, in 1860, and spent a number of years performing light opera, burlesque, comedy, and pantomime, both in the provinces and in London. In her early years she was cast in soubrette roles (the theatrical paper ''The Era'' described her as "sufficiently arch and saucy"),〔"Provincial Theatricals", ''The Era'', 19 January 1862, p. 11; and "The Theatres, &c", ''The Era'', 2 October 1864, p. 10〕 and in breeches roles in Christmas shows.〔"Olympic Theatre", ''The Morning Post'', 15 January 1866, p. 5〕
By the mid-1860s, she was also cast in character roles, such as the domineering Queen Greymare in an 1866 adaptation of Offenbach's ''Barbe-bleue''.〔"Olympic Theatre", ''The Morning Post'', 4 June 1866, p. 3〕 Nevertheless, in the same year she appeared in a breeches role, playing a young man in the Olympic's new burlesque ''Princess Primrose and the Four Pretty Princes.''〔"The London Theatres", ''The Era'', 21 January 1886, p. 10〕 In 1867, at the age of 23, she appeared as the first of W. S. Gilbert's long series of "elderly, ugly" women, in his second operatic burlesque, ''La Vivandière''. In this piece, she played the fading Marchioness of Birkenfelt in the premiere production in Liverpool, and she was the only member of the cast to be re-engaged for the London production six months later.〔Advertisement, ''The Liverpool Mercury'', 13 June 1867, p. 1; and "Queen's Theatre", ''The Morning Post'', 23 January 1868, p. 5.〕 In 1868, she appeared as "the clamorous landlady" in H.J. Byron's serio-comic play ''Dearer Than Life'', starring J.L. Toole, with the young Henry Irving in a supporting role.〔"New Queen's", ''The Era'', 12 January 1868, p. 11〕 In 1869, she joined Mrs. John Wood's company at the St James's Theatre, in which the young Lionel Brough also appeared.〔"St. James's Theatre'', ''The Era'', 5 December 1869, p. 14〕 In 1870 she played one of the undergraduates in Gilbert's play ''The Princess''.〔The London Theatres, ''The Era'', 13 February 1870, p. 10〕
