Mini Biography

Cora Goffin was one of Britain's most famous pantomime principal boys and musical comedy stars. At the height of her fame during the 1920s and 30s she was a household name and her picture adorned chocolate boxes, cigarette cards and magazine covers.

Married to the powerful impresario Emile Littler she starred in many of his stage shows. Her costumes were created by the leading designers of the day and her legs were insured for £20,000.

Born in London, the daughter of the actress Cora Poole, she began performing at an early age at afternoon tea parties given by London society hostesses. In 1912, at the age of 10, she made her professional debut as a child dancer at the London Palladium with the Russian Ballet. After one performance, the legendary ballerina Anna Pavlova told her "Little girl, one day you will be a great star."

After her father's death Cora Goffin toured on variety bills billed as 'Little Cora Goffi- the Child Phenomenon'. She went on to appear in leading roles in Shakespeare in London's West End but her most memorable role as a child star was Little Lord Fauntleroy.

After her marriage in 1933 to Emile Littler she starred in several stage shows and films but retired from acting in 1940. Littler was knighted for his services to entertainment in 1974 and shortly afterwards the couple moved to Ditchling, Sussex in the south of England. A much admired hostess Cora numbered among her many close friends stars such as Elsie Randolph, Alice Delysia, Vera Lynn and Douglas Byng.
