Anna Rebecca Pennington (December 23, 1893 – November 4, 1971) was an American actress, dancer, and singer who starred on Broadway in the 1910s and 1920s, notably in the Ziegfeld Follies and George White's Scandals.

[2] [3] In 1910, Pennington reportedly performed as part of the De Haven Sextet (composed of "the celebrated comedian Sydney Gibson and six young and pretty girls") at a Camden, New Jersey, theater.

[4] The De Haven Sextet (with Pennington) performed in Newark at Proctor's Park Place Theatre in February 1911;[5] the group was on a national tour during 1910-1911.

[8] Pennington achieved stardom in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1913 through her dancing, as well as her beauty, lively charm, and "dimpled knees."

[11] In summing up her career, one critic declared that "Pennington was the greatest of the solo female stage dancers who came to prominence in the Broadway revues of the 1910s and '20s.

While Pennington was already famous for her Broadway performances, Susie Snowflake succeeded in introducing her to a nationwide audience.

She frequently visited local race tracks and spent any money she could acquire through loans or infrequent club performances.

She became a familiar but unfortunate presence in the lobby of the Times Square Hotel and at the Horn & Hardart automat, often seen sitting alone with a cup of coffee.
