Life Millicent Palmer was born in Lancaster, and initially became well known as an actress at the Theatre Royal in Liverpool.

Her first London appearance was at the Royal Strand Theatre in November 1864, as Pauline in the play Delicate Ground. A reviewer in The Standard (9 November 1864) wrote: "The romance and simplicity of Pauline were exquisitely represented by Miss Palmer, who, without an effort, and in a style very different to what the visitors to the Strand Theatre have been accustomed to see, made a deep impression, and appealed to all hearts. The tenderness of the character, too, was exquisitely realised, nor were energy and spirit wanting when required...."

She returned to England, appearing in 1872 In London at the Queen's Theatre, Long Acre; in 1873 she appeared at the Princess's Theatre as Lady Macbeth. In the following years she appeared in London and elsewhere in England, playing leading roles, in Shakespeare and in other plays, including Lady Teazle in Sheridan's The School for Scandal.
