Eva Le Gallienne (January 11, 1899 – June 3, 1991) was an American stage actress, producer, director, translator, and author. A Broadway star by age 21, in 1926 she left Broadway behind to found the Civic Repertory Theatre, where she served as director, producer, and lead actress. Noted for her boldness and idealism, she was a pioneering figure in the American theater, setting the stage for the Off-Broadway and regional theater movements that swept the country later in the 20th century. Le Gallienne devoted herself to the art of the theater as opposed to the show business of Broadway. Read more on Wikipedia
