Tien Hogue

Tien Hogue was the stage name of Anne Christina Hogue (29 June 1892 – November 1964), an Australian actress of stage and screen in the silent era.

She was a popular personality, who, though marriage, became Lady Wyatt.

Family The fourth daughter, and youngest child of James Alexander Hogue (1846–1920), and Jessie Hogue (1853–1932), née Robards, Anne Christina Hogue was born at Glebe Point, Sydney, New South Wales on 29 June 1892.

She was the sister of Major Oliver Hogue (1880–1919), who wrote under the name of Trooper Blue Gum, and of John Roland Hogue (1882–1958), the talented professional singer (baritone), Broadway, film, and U.S.television actor, and playwright.

Stage and screen "Tien Hogue, a good-looking Sydney girl, with a honey-sweet speaking voice, [who is soon to tour country towns as "Aggie Lynch" in Veiller’s play, Within the Law] gave such an intelligent reading of the part of Victoria Chope in [the new Haddon Chambers play] "Sir Anthony", at the Repertory Theatre, that she is likely to prove a bright addition to the native-born stage contingent." – The Bulletin, 30 July 1914.

Selected theatre credits Within the Law (1914) Quinneys (1917)

Selected film credits The Life of a Jackeroo (1913) Pommy Arrives in Australia (1913) A Blue Gum Romance (1913) The Shepherd of the Southern Cross (1915) Robbery Under Arms (1920)
