Louie Pounds was a late-Victorian actress and singer. She is perhaps most famous for appearing with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company between 1899 and 1903 and a mezzo-soprano chorister, later taking the principal roles of Kate in "The Pirates of Penzance" and the eponymous role in "Iolanthe". Her brother was Courtice Pounds, who was Principal Tenor with the D'Oyly Carte. Her sisters Lily, Nancy and Rosy also sang with the company.
