This article appears in Volume V13, Page 30 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HART, CHARLES (d. 1683) , English actor, grandson of Shakespeare's
sister
  Joan, is first heard of as playing women's parts at the Blackfriars' theatre as an apprentice of Richard Robinson. In the Civil War he was a
lieutenant
  of horse in Prince Rupert's
regiment
 , and after the king's defeat he played surreptitiously at the Cockpit and at Holland
House
  and other noblemen's residences. After the Restoration he is known to have been in 166o the
original
  Dorante-in The Mistaken Beauty, adapted from Corneille's Le Menteur. In 1663 he went to the Theatre Royal in Killigrew's company, with which he remained until 1682, taking leading parts in
Dryden
 's, Jonson's and Beaumont and Fletcher's plays. He is highly spoken of by contemporaries in such Shakespearian parts as Othello and Brutus. He is often mentioned by Pepys. Betterton praised him, and would not himself play the
part
  of Hotspur until after
Hart
 's retirement. He died in 1683 and was buried on the loth of August.
Hart
  is said to have been the first lover of Nell Gwyn, and to have trained her for the stage.
