Yvonne Arnaud (December 20, 1892 - September
20,1958) was a France|French-born pianist, singer
and actress.

From 1905 to 1911 she performed with leading
orchestras throughout Europe and America. In 1911
she decided to try the stage instead of the
concert hall and obtained the lead role in the
musical Girl in the Taxi. However, an operation
damaged her vocal chords so she switched to acting
on stage.

Her stage career lasted many years, with several
films made during the 1930s.

For many years she lived in Guildford, England
where she eventually died. In 1965 the Yvonne
Arnaud Theatre was opened in Guildford.

She is buried in St. Martha's churchyard on St.
Martha's Hill just south-east of Guildford.
