Are you sure you have the right photo? I think that's a photograph of stage actress Julia Dean Cooper. According to her Wikipedia page, she was the daughter of actor and theater manager Edwin Dean:

Yes, I am sure I have the right photo. I agree the other lady could be a twin, but the President's daughter whom I posted did not have a twin sister.

Hint #1: Like my previous question, this daughter of a President has an article devoted to her in Wikipedia.

Note to Steve: It's possible that there is some sort of confusion/mistake between photos of the Presidential daughter I am looking for and Julia Dean Cooper. The two women do look very much alike.
I'll explain why I am confused after the right answer is posted.

I'm not sure about the period - the hairdo looks like 19th century, the dotted blouse rather 20th century. Was the photo taken in the 20th century?

The image is from the 19th century.

John Tyler?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 05-02-2020 05:16 PM

Nope, not John Tyler.

Total shot in the dark. Grover Cleveland?

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 05-03-2020 03:48 AM

Nope, not Cleveland.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 05-03-2020 03:56 AM

Hint #2: She frequently served as White House hostess when her mother was ill.

Millard Fillmore

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 05-03-2020 07:11 AM

Congratulations, Steve! Yes, it is Mary Abigail Fillmore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Abigail_Fillmore

The image I posted is a reverse image of the photos here

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/2706/mary-abigail-fillmore

and

https://filiopietismprism.blogspot.com/2013/03/fearless-females-mary-abigail-fillmore.html

However, the reversed image I posted looks exactly like an actress named Julia Dean.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Dean_(actress,_born_1830)

Thus, I am confused. I think I posted an image of Millard Fillmore's daughter, but I am not 100% certain. Possibly someone can clear up the confusion.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-03-2020 09:12 AM

The image as one of the actress was published in 1890 here:

Thanks, Eva. That sure looks like the lady I posted.

Here's a photo of Mary Abigail Fillmore from Wikipedia:

Please try to answer without googling.

Which President is responsible for this quote?

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle."
