EDITORS COMMENTS
Elisabeth Welch, the renowned African American singer and actress, is seen here outside her home in Capeners Close, Knightsbridge, London, in 1987. With a career spanning over six decades, Welch made a significant impact on British musical theatre, films, television, and radio from the 1930s to the 1990s. Born in 1904 in Washington D.C., Welch arrived in London in 1933 and quickly became a popular star. Her sultry voice and captivating stage presence earned her roles in various productions, including the West End musical "Cabaret" and the film "Blue Moon." She also made numerous appearances on television and radio, becoming a familiar face and voice to generations of British audiences. Despite facing discrimination and challenges as an African American performer in a predominantly white industry, Welch persevered and left an indelible mark on British entertainment. Her influence can still be felt today, with many considering her a trailblazer for diversity and inclusion in the arts. This photograph captures a moment in the life of a remarkable woman, who, despite the odds, found success and acceptance in a foreign land. Elisabeth Welch's legacy continues to inspire and entertain, reminding us of the power of resilience, talent, and determination.
