The Thomas A. Scott?

...on which Dr. Mudd tried to escape from Ft. Jefferson - brilliant, Roger, that is correct! You win a cruise to Dry Tortugas (I seem to recall you posting you went there by plane).

Could it be Clara Morris?

[Susan Higginbotham]

No, but you've got her profession right!

[RJNorton]

Rose Massey?

[Susan Higginbotham]

No. Hint: She acted alongside John Wilkes Booth before the war.

[J. Beckert]

Louisa Drew?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Henrietta Irving? (Not sure as for before the war.)

[Susan Higginbotham]

Nope. Hint 2: She was Juliet to Booth's Romeo.

Kate Bateman?

Right! Now I have to think of a prize!

For those who haven't read it, Terry Alford discusses Kate's co-appearance with Booth in Fortune's Fool. Kate played Juliet in November 1860 in Montgomery, Alabama. Her father, who was also her manager, was so impressed by her co-star Booth that he considered engaging the young man for a tour of England, but nothing came of this, and the two did not appear together again. Kate, who died in 1917 after a long career on the stage, recalled her Romeo as "really a beautiful creature--you couldn't help admiring him--so amiable, so sweet, so sympathetic."

Helen Western?

Right! Now I have to think of a prize!

I'd recommend this - I was fortunate to see Alessandra Ferri in Hamburg, she just is Juliet:
