Mary McVicker Booth

She later received positive critical attention for her performance as Eva in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

[1] Author Arthur W. Bloom describes McVicker as "witty, sharp-tongued, domineering, physically strong, an astute businesswoman and eventually, perhaps always, mentally ill".

[1] McVicker and Booth were married by her grandfather in June 1869 at her parents' summer home in Long Branch, New Jersey.

[7][1] Her career as an actress ended with the 1869 season; she worked managing Edwin and his daughter from his previous marriage, Edwina.

[8] Their son, Edgar, died shortly after birth in 1870; a subsequent pregnancy ended in miscarriage.

[9][7] McVicker died in New York following her return from a trip to Europe on November 13, 1881; on her husband's birthday.
