Mrs. Honey: maiden name - Laura Bell

Born: 1815

First performed a part of any consequence in the play Frederick the Great, in which she made a decided hit, and from that moment, rose rapidly in the profession

Magazine authors: "Her abilities as an actress are extremely overrated, but we fear her reputation (theatrical, of course), is greatly on the wane. In private life, she is distinguished for every quality that she can adorn her sex. Of her amours, delicacy compels us to be silent, but she is at present under the protection of Lord Chesterfield."
