Kate Denin

Kate Denin (c. 1837 Philadelphia – 5 February 1907 New York City) was an American stage actress. She played in nearly every theatre in the United States and Australia and with most of the noted American actors and actresses of her time. She moved to California in 1854, and in 1857 she moved to Australia.

Stage career Among Denin's most noteworthy roles include the parts of 'Julia' in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, and of 'Claude Melnotte' in Lady of Lyons. These she performed in 1854 at the National Theatre and the Chicago Theatre, respectively. Both venues were located in Chicago, Illinois.

Denin played with her sister Susan in productions of King John and Richard III. They often appeared as the two 'Antipholi' in The Comedy of Errors.

Denin was essentially a comedian, as was Sam Ryan who accompanied her in theatrical productions. McKee Rankin acted with them and usually embellished their performances with more serious roles.
