Anne Oldfield (1683 – 23 October 1730), English actress, was born in London, to Anne Gourlaw and William Oldfield, a soldier. ==Early Life and Discovery== Despite her rough economic background, Oldfield must have had a basic education because her biographers recount that she read plays voraciously throughout her youth.〔Robert Gore-Browne, ''Gay was the Pit: the Life and Times of Anne Oldfield, Actress (1683-1730)'' (London: Max Reinhardt, 1957), p.16.〕 In 1699, she attracted George Farquhar's attention when he overheard her reciting lines from Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher’s play ''The Scornful Lady'' (1616) in a back room of her tavern. Soon after, she was hired by Christopher Rich to join the cast of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.〔Robert Gore-Browne, ''Gay was the Pit: the Life and Times of Anne Oldfield, Actress (1683-1730)'' (London: Max Reinhardt, 1957), 18-9.〕
