The Nation's Darling | Lotta Crabtree, 1800s American Actress

She took the Wild West by storm in the 1860s and conquered Broadway and the nation in the 1870s, but who was this mischievous woman with the coy smile and the red gold hair who would go on to become the highest paid actress of her day?
Why, she was Miss Lotta, San Francisco Sensation, Belle of Broadway, Nation's Eternal Child and Darling, Charlotte Mignon Crabtree.

Thank you!

Thank you! Even fame such as Lotta's is ephemeral. In 100 years nobody will.remember Brad Pitt.
