Called "The Nation's Darling," Lotta Crabtree captured the hearts of all who saw her perform. Born in New York in 1847, Lotta and her family followed her father, seeking his fortune in the Gold Rush, to California. When her father's plans didn't pan out, Lotta went to work to support her family, singing and dancing for miners. A talented, pretty, and engaging child, she soon became "The San Francisco Favorite." She was a household name by age twenty. Lotta went on to tour the United States with her own theatrical company and perform in London, England. As the first female comic, she changed the way women were seen on stage and became a role model for future generations of female performers.
Described as "mischievous, unpredictable, and impulsive," the "eternal child" Lotta Crabtree retired in 1892 at the age of forty-five as the richest actress in America. She was a respected philanthropist during her lifetime, and her generosity continues to provide grants to those in need through the foundations she established. Gold Rush Fairy Star Lotta Crabtree is brought to life in this informative and inspirational biography for middle readers from talented author Lois V. Harris."Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
