| Notes |
- May Gertrude Elliott first appeared on stage in 1894 when she was twenty. In 1899 she joined Nat Goodwin's English company , where she met and a year later married the noted Shakespearean actor Johnston Forbes-Robertson. From that time on she toured with her husband as his leading lady in many of Shakespeare's plays. She last appeared with Forbes-Robertson at the Drury Lane Theatre, London, in his farewell performance in 1913. She, however, did not retire and went on to tour in New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. Her last notable performance was as Gertrude in Leslie Howard's 1936 production of Hamlet at the Imperial Theatre in New York City.
