Jane Green (actress)

[1] Jane made her first appearance at her father John Hippisley's benefit at Covent Garden Theatre on 18 March 1735 as Cherry in The Stratagem.

She was David Garrick's Ophelia in his first season at Goodman's Fields; as Miss Hippisley, the original Kitty Pry in the Lying Valet; Biddy in Miss in Her Teens; and as Mrs. Green, which name she took in 1747–1748, was the first Mrs.

Samuel Cautherley is thought to be her child as the result of a liaison with Garrick.

[3] Among her characters were Miss Prue, Anne Page, Perdita, Ophelia, Miss Hoyden, Nerissa, Æmilia, Doll Tearsheet, Duenna, and Mrs. Hardcastle.

She played in Dublin in 1751–1752, and probably in 1753–1754, and acted the Irish Widow at Bristol as late as 4 July 1781.
