Painting of Terry by Watts entitled "Choosing" Terry married three times and was involved in numerous relationships during her lifetime. In London, during an engagement at the Haymarket Theatre, Terry and her sister Kate had their portraits painted by the eminent artist George Frederick Watts, and he soon proposed marriage. Watts's famous portraits of Terry include "Choosing," in which Terry must select between earthly vanities, symbolised by showy, but scent-less camellias and nobler values symbolised by humble-looking, but fragrant violets. Other famous portraits include "Ophelia" and, together with her sister Kate, "The Sisters." Terry was impressed with the art and elegance of his lifestyle and wished to please her parents by making an advantageous marriage. They married on 20 February 1864, shortly before her 17th birthday, when Watts was 46. During her marriage to Watts, she was uncomfortable in the role of child bride. Terry and Watts were separated after only ten months of marriage, during which she took a break from the stage, returning by 1866.[7] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 430 × 599 pixelsFull resolution (465 × 648 pixels, file size: 85 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Source: http://www. ...

Shaw, Ibsen and Barrie In 1903, Terry formed a new venture, taking over management of the Imperial Theatre with her son, after her business partner, Irving, ended his tenure at the Lyceum in 1902. Here she had complete artistic control and could choose the works in which she would appear, as Irving had done at the Lyceum. The new venture focused on the plays of George Bernard Shaw and Henrik Ibsen, including the latter's The Vikings in 1903, with Terry as Hiordis. During this time, Terry struck up a friendship and a famous correspondence with Shaw during this time.[1] Theatre management turned out to be a financial failure for Terry. She then toured England, taking engagements in Nottingham, Liverpool, and Wolverhampton, and appeared in 1905 in J. M.
