| Admin history | Lady Blanche Robey, née Richieux, was born in 1898 and was daughter to parents Jules Richieux and Agnes May, née Paisey, both of whom were theatrical managers. Following the death of Jules Richieux in 1911, in 1914 her mother married Frank Rolison Littler, who adopted Blanche and her four siblings.
Alongside her brothers, Prince Littler and Emile Littler, Blanche was influential within the theatre industry. She was also married to the entertainer, Sir George Robey, whom she met in 1932 and later married in November 1938 at Marylebone Town Hall. Blanche went on to become his manager.
Following the death of George in 1954, Blanche continued to live along the Sussex coastline until her death at age 83 in 1981. |
