Biography
Richard Mansfield (1857-1907) was a prominent stage actor in the late 19th century. He was born in Germany into a family involved in the performing arts. Mansfield began his stage career touring the English provinces in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and made his first appearance in New York in 1882 in light opera. His most important roles were in productions of Shakespeare plays but he also performed in musicals. He introduced George Bernard Shaw's drama to America and produced the first English language version of Peer Gynt. He wrote revisions of noted plays, as well as original works. His wife, Beatrice Cannon (Susan Hegeman Mansfield), was a stage actress who appeared with his company. She retired from the stage in 1898 and after her husband's death did relief work overseas and then taught speech and drama in New York City.
