"Lillie" was a British television serial made by London Weekend Television and broadcast from 24 September to 17 December 1978. 'Lillie" starring Francesca Annis in an award-winning performance, vividly captures the complex woman who became one of the most notorious and respected figures of the Victorian era.

Emilie Charlotte, Lady de Bathe (née Le Breton, formerly Langtry; 1853–1929), known as Lillie Langtry and nicknamed "The Jersey Lily", was a British socialite, stage actress and producer.

Born on the island of Jersey, upon marrying she moved to London in 1876. Her looks and personality attracted interest, commentary, and invitations from artists and society hostesses, and she was celebrated as a young woman of great beauty and charm. During the aesthetic movement in England she had been painted by aesthete artists, and in 1882 she became the poster-girl for "Pears Soap", becoming the first celebrity to endorse a commercial product.

In 1881, Langtry became an actress and made her West End debut in the comedy "She Stoops to Conquer", causing a sensation in London by becoming the first socialite to appear on stage. She went on to star in many plays in the United Kingdom and the United States, including "The Lady of Lyons", and Shakespeare's "As You Like It" , eventually running her own stage production company. From the mid-1890s until 1919 Langtry lived at Regal Lodge at Newmarket in Suffolk where she had a successful horse racing stable.
