Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PRITCHARD, HANNAH (1711-1768) , English actress, whose name before her early marriageto an actorwas Vaughan, first attracted attention as a
singer
  at Bartholomew's
Fair
  in 1733. She was soon playing a wide variety of parts, mostly comedy, at the Haymarket, Drury
Lane
  and Covent
Garden
 . When
Garrick
  became patentee of Drury
Lane
  in 1747 she joined his company and played with him for twenty years, her last
appearance
  being as Lady Macbethone of her greatest reliesin April 1768, a few months before her death. Her talents were highly thought of by the critics of the day. Her daughter, who had studied under
Garrick
 , and whose beauty created a sensation when she made her debut (as " Miss Pritchard ") in October 1756, did not live up to the expectations then raised. She married in 1762 the actor John Palmer, retired from the stage at the same time as her
mother
 , and after her husband's death married a political writer named
Lloyd
 .
