Micheál Mac Liammóir (born Alfred Willmore; 25 October 1899 – 6 March 1978) was a British-Irish actor, dramatist, impresario, writer, poet and painter. Though born to a Protestant family living in London, with no Irish connections, he emigrated to Ireland in early adulthood, changed his name, and remained there for the rest of his life. He co-founded the Gate Theatre with his partner Hilton Edwards. He is one of the most recognizable figures in the arts in twentieth-century Ireland.
