Catherine Cibber, born Katherine Shore (baptised 1669 – 17 January 1734), was a British soprano and actor.
Her mother was Ann Shore and her father, Matthias and eventually two of her brothers (William and John) were sergeant-trumpeters to the King.
[3] She was painted by leading portrait painter Thomas Hudson as "Mrs Colley Cibber", with red lips, brown eyes, mauve hair ribbons, a greenish gray satin dress and surrounded by red cushions and drapes.
[5] Six died in infancy; Catherine, the eldest surviving daughter, married Colonel James Brown and seems to have been the dutiful one who looked after her father in his old age following his wife's death in 1734.
[8] Colley's youngest daughter Charlotte followed in her father's theatrical footsteps, but she fell out with him and her sister Catherine, and she was cut off by the family.
