Notes | Lotta Crabtreee started her career as a child star, singing, dancing (her dancing instructor had been Lola Montez), playing the banjo, and acting in comedic roles in California mining towns in 1855. She moved to San Francisco in 1857, and became one of the most beloved performers the City has ever seen, as well as one of the richest actress of her time. In 1864, she moved on to a successful stage career in New York, but returned to San Francisco often. In 1875, she donated an ornate, 24-foot-tall bronze fountain to the San Francisco, to show her appreciation of the city that gave her her start. |
