William Wycherley

William Wycherley was born on Mar 28, 1641 in UK. William Wycherley's big-screen debut came with The Country Girl directed by Frederick Sullivan in 1915.

After he wrote the play, "The Gentleman Master", (1672), it was panned by critics, so in the prologue to his most famous play, "The Country Wife", (1676), he offered the actors, mistresses and matrons to the critics in case this was equally badly received. His last play was, "The Plain Dealer", (1676).
