Virginia Brissac

Virginia Brissac (June 11, 1883 – July 26, 1979), was an American West Coast stage actress who came out of retirement in her early 50s to begin what would turn out to be a twenty year career as a performer in cinema and television productions. She was known as an ingénue in her early theatrical years, in her latter career Brissac’s stern features often led her to play schoolteachers and other authority figures rôles. She is perhaps best remembered today as Jim Stark’s (James Dean) grandmother in the 1955 film, ''Rebel Without a Cause''.
==Early life==
Virginia Brissac was born in San Jose, California and later raised in San Francisco.〔(''The Pacific Monthly, July, 1905, p. 586 ) accessed 5.3.13〕〔Doyle, Billy H. ''The Ultimate Directory of Silent and Sound Era Performers: A Necrology of Actors and Actresses'', 1999, p. 70〕 She was the daughter of B. F. Brissac, a well-to-do Bay Area insurance executive, and was said to be a niece of the actress Mary Shaw.〔Virginia Brissac Granted Divorce. San Francisco Call, May 7, 1912, p. 1〕〔Playhouse Paragraphs. Evening Star(Washington D. C.), July 22, 1906, Page 7,〕 As a young girl she began a collection of autographs that would grow to include such notables as Sarah Bernhardt, Eleonora Duse, Richard Mansfield, Henry Irving and Rudyard Kipling. When she wrote Kipling asking for his signature, his secretary wrote back informing her that the writer would grant her request if she would be willing to donate $2.50 to a certain London charity. In her reply some weeks later Brissac wrote:
''Enclosed is the $2.50 for your Fresh Air Fund. I suppose you thought that when I saw $2.50 I’d give up the idea of your autograph, but I didn’t.You see I have had to save for soldiers here, for we have wars of our own once in a while, and as I’m only a little school girl with an income of 50 cents a week, you can see it has taken me some time to get the $2.50 together. But here it is and I am waiting for your autograph.''

Brissac’s letter was forwarded to Kipling who was in India at the time. Her reply so amused him he sent her his autograph along with the following passage from his poem, ''In the Neolithic Age'':
''"But my Totem saw the shame; from his ridgepole-shrine he came, And he told me in a vision of the night: -- "There are nine and sixty ways of constructing tribal lays, "And every single one of them is right"''〔Has Many Autographs. The Evening Statesman (Walla Walla, Washington), January 07, 1904, Amusements〕
