1610) Agnes Ethel

Agnes Ethel (1846 – 1903). American Broadway actress of the late 19th century.
She made her stage debut in Camille (1868), at Jerome's private theatre in New York. She was in the first production of Frou Frou in the United States. The Augustin Daly stock company staged it at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, in 1870. Ethel appeared in Fernande, also at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, again in 1870. A critic wrote that her acting was her best thus far. In September 1872 Ethel appeared in Agnes, presented by the Union Square Theatre. The play was written especially for her by Victorien Sardou. It ran for one hundred nights.
In 1873 Ethel married Francis W. Tracy, a millionaire, and retired from the stage. She took part in charities and assisted struggling actors and actresses. She performed only twice more on stage, appearing on both occasions in support of charity.
When Tracy died in 1886, she was involved in a dispute about his will with Tracy's first wife, but eventually Ethel was awarded the entire fortune.
