I lived from 1866-1947. I was from England, and am in the English category.
I influenced poet John Cowper Powys.
Richard Le Gallienne (1866 - 1947) was born in England and moved to America in mid-life. He is probably best known as the father of the American actress Eva Le Gallienne (1899-1991) who was his daughter by his second marriage.
