Kitty Clive
Catherine "Kitty" Clive (née ''Raftor'') (5 November 1711 – 6 December 1785) was an English actress of considerable repute on the stages of London.
==Discovery==
Clive was most likely born in London, but her father, William Raftor, was an Irishman and a former officer in the French army under Louis XIV. According to her biographers, Clive worked as a servant in the homes of wealthy London families while young. At the age of 17, she was discovered by the theatre community when she was overheard singing while cleaning the front steps of a home near a tavern that actors and playwrights regularly patronized. She was recommended to Colley Cibber, manager of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, who hired her. 〔Lewis Melville, ''Stage Favourites of the Eighteenth Century'' (Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday Doran & Company, Inc., 1929), p. 54-6.〕
