Lillian Kemble-Cooper was a member of the Kemble family, a family of English actors, who reigned over the British stage for decades. She was born as a daughter of stage actor Frank Kemble-Cooper. Her younger brother Anthony Kemble-Cooper (1904-2000) and her elder sister Violet Kemble-Cooper (1886-1961) also worked as actors. Between 1906 and 1950 she had 17 Broadway appearances, in 1919 she appeared in the original Hitchy-Koo.
