After her critical acclaim as a playwright, she had a successful stage career as an actress. Her Autobiography of an Actress was published in 1853. Anna Cora Mowatt was instrumental in lobbying and fundraising for the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, the country's oldest national historic preservation group. Anna Cora Ogden was born in Bordeaux, France, on March 5, 1819. She was the tenth out of fourteen children. Her father was Samuel Gouveneur Ogden (1779-1860), an American trader. Her mother was Eliza Lewis Ogden (1785-1836), the granddaughter of Francis Lewis, who signed the United States Declaration of Independence.
