Finally, when she was seventeen, she got her first female part in "French without Tears" at the Westport Playhouse.

Although her professional activities keep her constantly on the go, Lily also fits in some riding, tennis and swimming.
With each passing day, Lily Lodge is carving her initials deeper into the world of show business. In everything she does, she displays a glowing exuberance, a sincere, vital personality.
