Mrs. James Brown-Potter (nee Cora Urquhart): An American Actress Bringing Shakespeare's Juliet to Life in 1859 and 1936 This photograph captures the enchanting portrayal of Cora Urquhart, later known as Mrs. James Brown-Potter, in the iconic role of Juliet from Shakespeare's timeless tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet. Born in the United States in 1870, Urquhart's theatrical career spanned over six decades, making her a prominent figure in American theater history. The image, taken in the late 19th century, showcases Urquhart's youthful beauty and expressive acting abilities, embodying the passionate and vulnerable nature of the young Capulet heroine. The black-and-white portrait, reminiscent of an old master painting, transports us back in time to the Victorian era, where the art of live theater held a significant place in society. Urquhart's performance as Juliet was not limited to the 19th century, as evidenced by the second image from 1936. In this photograph, she is seen wearing a more contemporary costume, yet her commitment to the character remains unwavering. This testament to her versatility and enduring talent underscores her importance as a trailblazing actress in American theater. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the power of live performance and the enduring allure of Shakespeare's beloved tragic heroine, Juliet. Mrs. James Brown-Potter's captivating portrayals continue to inspire and captivate audiences, making her an indelible figure in the annals of American theater history.
