Julia Dean (stage actress)
Julia Dean (July 22, 1830 – March 6, 1868), was an American actress who made her New York debut at 16 in a starring role with the James Sheridan Knowles comedy, ''The Hunchback ''. Her performance was met with such praise that she continued to star in productions of ''The Hunchback'' over much of her twenty-year career. Although she began and ended her career on the East coast, Dean’s greatest popularity was achieved in tours of the American South and the Far West. Dean was married twice; she was the mother of four children, but died in childbirth with a stillborn son at the age of 37.
==Early life==
Dean was born in Pleasant Valley, New York, the daughter of Edwin Dean (1804-1876) and Julia Drake (1800-1832). Her father, an actor and theatre manager, was born in Poughkeepsie, the son of Quakers〔Will of Edwin Dean. ''St. Louis Globe-Democrat,'' (St. Louis, MO), February 23, 1876; pg. 7; Issue 280; col. B〕 Her English-born mother was also an actor who achieved a degree of notoriety on the American stage. A half-brother, from Julia Drake's first marriage, was the poet William W. Fosdick and a niece, born some ten years after Dean's death, became the stage and film actress, Julia Dean.〔Daughter of Albert C. Dean (1849-1892) mentioned as a son in Edwin Dean's will (Albert Clay Dean. ''Find a Grave Memorial'' ) Retrieved November 23, 2013〕〔(Drake. ''Dictionary of American Biography,'' 1879, p. 281 ) Retrieved November 22, 2013〕 Her grandfather, Samuel Drake (née Bryant?), came to America in 1810, and is thought to have been the first to bring a theatre troupe west of the Appalachians.〔(Ludlow. ''Dramatic Life as I Found it,'' 1880, p. 363 ) Retrieved November 22, 2013〕 Dean’s mother died when her daughter was around two, leaving her to be raised by paternal grandparents until Edwin Dean remarried eight or nine years later.

For several years Dean did chores at a family-owned boardinghouse before going on the stage in 1844, as a $6 a-week bit player with Ludlow and Smith of Mobile, Alabama. She shared the stage with Joseph Jefferson, another bit player in the formative years of his career. With Ludlow and Smith, the young actress became a popular attraction prompting her father to bring her to New York City at the close of the 1844-45 season.〔〔〔(Jefferson.
