She made her first appearance (1888) in W.S. Gilbert's 'Pygmalion and Galatea' and in 1890 she married Fred Terry, brother of the celebrated actress Ellen Terry. Julia became famous for her acting in plays such as 'A Woman of No Importance', 'The Prisoner of Zenda', 'Sweet Nell of Old Drury', and 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'. Her greatest success was as Rosalind in 'As You Like It' (1896). She visited the U.S. in 1895 and again in 1910. In 1900, she and her husband went into management and for the next 30 years played and toured with their own company.
