Subject: RE: Origins: Chauncey Olcott
Hello Lammy, I am the second niece of Rose Curry, the stage actress who acted with Chauncey Olcott. I posted a question generally on mudcat, but as you indicate Mr. Olcott was your grandfather, perhaps you know more about the relationship between Rose Curry and your grandfather. My family has "history" recounted by my grandmother (sister in law of Rose)that Rose Curry was the subject of "My Wild Irish Rose." We understand that his wife's biography makes no reference to this fact. While this is understandable, there are several items in the family archives that suggest Mr. Olcott and Rose Curry were quite close. It is doubtful that any feelings might be bruised by this discussion, as so much time has passed. I would be interested if you know anything about this. Thanks for the opportunity to query.
