Annie Robe (1866–1922)[citation needed] was an English-born American stage actress prominent in the final decades of the Victorian era, the 1880s and 1890s.[1]
Robe's father was a scenic artist, and her mother was English actress Eliza Rugg. Robe began acting when she was 11 years old. Lester Wallack discovered her on a visit to England and brought her to the United States to act with his company.[2]
She was distantly related, through marriage, to Ethel Barrymore, whose husband Russell Griswold Colt was a relative of Robe's husband Daniel Paine Griswold.[3]
Robe died a widow at Pittsfield, Massachusetts on July 26, 1922.[4]
