About the author
Born in New York City on January 28, 1871, Julie Opp was an American actress who became popular on stage on both sides of the Atlantic. Sources also connect her with literary work under the name Julie Opp Faversham, including The Squaw Man: A Novel, adapted from the play by Edwin Milton Royle.
Before she was widely known as a performer, she reportedly worked as a journalist, and her theater connections helped draw her into acting. She later built a successful stage career in the United States and Britain, appearing in prominent productions during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
She married the actor William Faversham after the two appeared together in The Royal Rival in 1902. Julie Opp died in 1921, leaving behind a career remembered for its mix of theatrical fame and literary credit.
