Sarah Siddons
Her most famous role was that of Lady Macbeth.  Because she was very good at expressing emotion when she acted Lady Macbeth'''s murderous passions she could captivate her audience. Lady Macbeth was the play best adapted to her acting. She was tall and had a striking figure, brilliant beauty, powerfully expressive eyes, and solemn dignity of demeanour. This allowed her to claim the character as her own.
