Sarah Cowell Le Moyne (July 22, 1859 – July 18, 1915) was an American stage actress in New York City, famous for her readings of Robert Browning's poetry,[3] and her work with the Henry Street Settlement and Playhouse.[4]
Her stage debut was in 1878 as a member of Albert Marshman Palmer's company in A Celebrated Case at the Union Square Theatre.[2] In 1888 Cowell married fellow actor William J. Le Moyne[5] and the two of them lived together on 34th Street.[6] In 1898 she returned to the stage in a production of Clyde Fitch's The Moth and the Flame at the Lyceum Theatre.[7] She was known for her "fine understanding and careful elocution"[8] and in 1902 published her reminiscences.[9] After her husband's death in 1905 she retained his name and continued to act as Mrs. Le Moyne.[2]
During her stage career, Cowell performed in at least fifteen Broadway shows[10] and continued as director of the 466 Grand Street branch of the Henry Street Playhouse until her death in 1915.[2]
