POPE, ALEXANDER (1763-1835) , Irish actor and painter, was born in Cork, and was educated to follow his father's profession of miniature painting. He continued to paint miniatures and exhibit them at the Royal
Academy
  as
late
  as 1821; but at an early date he took the stage, first appearing in London as Oroonoko in 1785 at Covent Garden. He remained at this theatre almost continuously for nearly twenty years, then at the Haymarket until his retirement, playing leading parts, chiefly tragic. He was particularly esteemed as Othello and
Henry
  VIII. He died on the 22nd of March 1835.
Pope
  was thrice married. His first wife, Elizabeth
Pope
  (c. 1744-1797), a favourite English actress of
great
  versatility, was billed before her
marriage
  as Miss Younge. His second wife, Maria Ann Pope (1775-1803), also a popular actress, was a member of an Irish family named Campion. His third wife, Clara Maria Pope (d. 1838), was the widow of the artist Francis Wheatley, and herself a skilful painter of figures and of
flowers
