Some of the actors who played Peter and Captain Hook were famous enough to have their own Wikipedia articles.
Yet they cast a complete unknown to play Wendy alongside them?
Something funny going on there.
She must've had a very short acting career, possibly due to an early, tragic death.
I checked out the photographer, Bassano, too. His ancestors were Jewish minstrels at the court of Elizabeth I at a time when Jews weren't exactly welcome in England. He photographed a lot of actors and English nobility. He doesn't appear to have snapped photos of just any random person in the street. Sylvia must've been noteworthy to him, or to the English public, for some reason.
