Mignonette Kokin (born Margaret A Cutting; August 5, 1880 – May 16, 1957) was an American dancer, singer, and comedic actress in vaudeville.
Her mother was an actress on the vaudeville stage; her stepfather, Prince Kokin, was a juggler from Tokyo.
[5] She was described in 1903 as "a chic little dancer" and "a buxom little beauty whose refinement and gorgeous gowns almost hypnotize the fair sex.
[2] In 1907, she detailed her encounter with a simian costar in a New York theatre in 1907, a story published with exaggerated illustrations, under the headline "Hugged by a Big Baboon": "All of the nightmares in the world rolled into one," Kokin wrote, "cannot compare with those awful moments I passed in the arms of this repulsive brute, strong enough and ferocious enough to crush my slender body like an eggshell.
[11] From 1922 to 1924, Kokin was again touring in the United States[12] with her new "high speed dancing" act with Maria Galetti, "Two in a Revue".
