Elizabeth Begley

Elizabeth Begley, initially billed as Lily Begley, was an Irish actress whose career encompassed theatre, television and film, perhaps best known for her breakthrough television performance as Mrs. Bratney in the 1959 Armchair Theatre episode, "Worm in the Bud", and—on that same ITV-hosted series—for two starring roles opposite British actor Donald Pleasence. For the two decades prior to that, Begley had been a prominently featured player—and one of the founding members—of the Ulster Group Theatre of Belfast.
