Annie Hindle

[3] Emma Donaghue's play Ladies and Gentlemen is about Hindle after the death of her wife Annie Ryan.

[3] Hindle performed as a male impersonator on the US variety stage from 1868 and 1886 and received high reviews and steady bookings.

A review of one of her performances at the Adelphi Theater in Galveston, Texas, noted, "Annie Hindle has proved a great success.

[3] In 1878, some newspapers reported that Hindle married minstrel performer W.W. Long, although no official records can confirm this.

Hindle dressed in male clothing and gave her name as Charles and a local Baptist minister performed the ceremony.

The marriage only lasted until early 1871, but it is notable: Du Vere later changed her name to Blanche Selwyn, under which she became known as another famous male impersonator.
