Jennie Worrell
Jennie Worrell (1850 ''-'' August 11, 1899) was a burlesque actress of the 19th century from Cincinnati, Ohio. She was the youngest of three Worrell sisters who appeared in Broadway productions from (1867 ''-'' 1872).
==Sister act==
She was the daughter of William Worrell, a circus clown. Her sisters were Irene Worrell and Sophie Worrell.〔 The sisters performed on stage as children, singing and dancing their way to popularity in California and Australia. In 1866 they came to New York City and gained possession of a theatre on Broadway (Manhattan) opposite Waverly Place (Manhattan). They called it the Worrell sisters' New York Theatre. They acted in a musical burlesque followed by a production of ''Under the Gaslight'' (1867) by Augustin Daly. In the latter play the sisters depicted roles created by Rose Eytinge, Blanche Grey, and Rose Skennett. Worrell was the best actress of the three siblings. In the spring of 1866 she was in ''Nan the Good For Nothing'' at Wood's Theatre.〔 Previously the sisters performed together at the same venue in ''Elves''.〔''Downfall Of Jennie Worrell'', New York Times, May 26, 1896, pg. 3.〕
Burlesque became increasingly popular with the arrival of Lydia Thompson and her ''British Blondes''. This added to the appeal of the Worrell sisters. Nevertheless their business was not profitable and they gave up the theatre in 1868. It became the Broadway Athletic Club in later years.〔''Jennie Worrell Is Dying'', New York Times, August 10, 1899, pg. 5.〕
