Eleanor Gwyn (2 February 1650 – 14 November 1687; also spelled Gwynn, Gwynne) was an English stage actress and celebrity figure of the Restoration period.
Nell Gwyn (o Gwynn o Gwynne), nacida Eleanor, (2 de febrero de 1650-14 de noviembre de 1687), fue una de las primeras actrices inglesas que obtuvo reconocimiento público, y fue amante durante muchos años del rey Carlos II. Samuel Pepys la llamó pretty, witty Nell («bella e ingeniosa Nell»).
‘Pretty, witty Nell’ was perhaps the best known and remembered mistress of King Charles II. She was one of many (there were 13 in all during his lifetime), but she was the least ‘greedy’ of them all.
Nell Gwyn was an English actress and mistress of Charles II, whose frank recklessness, generosity, invariable good temper, ready wit, infectious high spirits, and amazing indiscretions appealed irresistibly to a generation that welcomed in her the living antithesis of Puritanism.
