Lillian Kemble-Cooper (21 March 1892 – 4 May 1977) was an English-American actress who had a successful career on Broadway and in Hollywood film.
Lillian Kemble-Cooper was a member of the Kemble family from England. She was born as a daughter of stage actor Frank Kemble-Cooper. Her younger brother Anthony Kemble-Cooper (1904 - 2000) and her elder sister Violet Kemble-Cooper also worked as actors.
Kemble-Cooper first stage appearance was as a member of the chorus in a September, 1914, production of The Chocolate Soldier at the Lyric Theatre, London.[1] She soon moved to the United States, where she appeared in several Broadway productions. In 1919, she appeared in the original Hitchy-Koo. Later in her career, she became a film actress and appeared in about 20 films, mostly in minor supporting roles. In Hollywood, Kemble-Cooper portrayed mostly aristocrats, spinsters and servants. She is perhaps best-remembered for her short appearance as Bonnie Blue Butler's nurse in London in Gone with the Wind.
In 1923 Kemble-Cooper married former World War I pilot and writer Louis G. Bernheimer, who died in 1930.[2] Her second husband was actor Guy Bates Post, and this marriage lasted for over 30 years until his death in 1968.
Kemble died on 4 May 1977 in Los Angeles. She was buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.[3]
