Mary Porter (actress)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Mary Porter (died 24 February 1765) was an English actress.
Life
She was brought to the attention of Betterton by Elizabeth Barry, who had seen her play the Fairy Queen at Bartholomew Fair.[1]
In his company she made her first appearance in 1699, in tragedy, in which she was at her best, although she also played a long list of comedy parts. When her friends, Mrs Barry, Mrs Bracegirdle and Mrs Oldfield, had retired from the stage, she was left its undisputed queen.[1]
