Lilyan Tashman

Lilyan Tashman was an American vaudeville, Broadway, and film actress. Tashman was best known for her supporting roles as tongueincheek villainesses and the vindictive other woman. She made 66 films over the course of her Hollywood career and although never obtained superstar status, her cinematic performances are described as sharp, clever and have aged little over the decades.

Lilyan Tashman was born the tenth and youngest child of a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Rose , who was born in Germany, and Maurice Tashman, a clothing manufacturer from Bialystok, Poland. She freelanced as a fashion and artists model while attending Girls High School in Brooklyn and eventually entered vaudeville. In 1914, she married fellowvaudevillian Al Lee, but the two separated in 1920 and divorced in 1921.
