ANDERSON, MARY (1859 )

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 960 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANDERSON, MARY (1859 ) , American actress, was born at Sacramento, California, on the 28th of July 1859. Her father, an officer in the Confederate service in the Civil War, died in 1863. She was educated in various Roman Catholic institutions, and at the age of thirteen, with the advice of Charlotte Cushman, began to study for the stage, making her first
appearance
  at Louisville, Kentucky, as Juliet in 1875. Her remarkable beauty created an immediate success, and she played in all the large cities of the United States with increasing popularity. Between 1883 and 1889 she had several seasons in London, and was the Rosalind in the performance of As You Like It which opened the Shakespeare Memorial theatre at
Stratford
 -on-Avon. Among her
chief
  parts were Galatea (in W. S. Gilbert's
Pygmalion
  and Galatea), Clarice (in his Comedy and Tragedy, written for her), Hermione, Perdita, and Julia (in The Hunchback). In 1889 she retired from the stage and in 1890 married Antonio de Navarro, and settled in England.
See William Winter's Stage Life of Mary Anderson (New
York
 , 1886), and her own A Few Memories (New
York
 , 1896).
