General note
General note
Joseph Jefferson (1829-1905) was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 20, 1829 to a family of actors and managers, and began acting at age of three. He was educated at home and later received an M.A. at Yale and at Harvard. In addition to his acting work, Jefferson was known for his paintings and autobiography. He found major success following his appearance in "Our American Cousin" (1858), but he was best known for his portrayals of Rip Van Winkle. He died in April 23, 1905, in Palm Beach, Florida.
