Star-Crossed: The Life And Love Of An Actress is a novel written by Lillian Spencer and published in 1888. The book tells the story of an actress named Olivia who falls in love with a wealthy young man named Arthur. However, their love is thwarted by Arthur's overbearing father, who disapproves of Olivia's profession and social status. Despite the obstacles in their way, Olivia and Arthur continue to see each other in secret and eventually plan to elope. However, their plans are discovered by Arthur's father, who threatens to disinherit his son if he goes through with the marriage. Olivia is heartbroken and decides to leave the theater and start a new life in Europe. She goes on to become a successful writer and artist, but never forgets her love for Arthur. The novel explores themes of love, class, and the struggles of women in the theater industry during the late 19th century.
