Madeline Kahn (29 September 1942 – 3 December 1999) was an American actor, comedian and singer, known for comedic roles.
Explanation
This started out to be a verse
That Madeleline Kahn inspired;
It ended up absurdly terse,
Because, you see, “I’m tired.”

Maria Hester Park (29 September 1760 – 7 June 1813) was a British composer, pianist, and singer.
A Truth Universally Acknowledged
It has been said of Maria Hester Park that she was "hugely popular in the elegant drawing rooms of eighteenth century England" and that she "made her living composing the sort of music performed by Jane Austen heroines." -- Diana Ambache, as qtd. in Wikipedia
When heroines in Austen dote
On music of the kind that
Maria Hester Park once wrote,
Their guardians don’t mind that.
Her pieces didn’t strain to be
Romantic or outlandish,
In fact, it was a plus that she
Was anodyne and blandish.
