Née[edit]

>Her grandfather, Samuel Drake (née Bryant?)....

Née usually refers to a married woman's maiden name. Is something missing here -- the grandmother's name? Rissa, copy editor (talk) 22:48, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible that the grandfather, an actor, changed to a stage name? Perhaps there was already a "Samuel Drake" active in the United States when he came over? Can the author of this section please clarify? Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 02:03, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In going through the sources, I see that #4 has the answer - it states that his birth name may have been Samuel Drake Bryant. Thank you. Wordreader (talk) 02:34, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rephrased[edit]

>Dean’s mother died when she was around two

It's highly unusual for one's mother to die when she around two :-) Rissa, copy editor (talk) 22:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So true! .^_^. (I'll fix it if it's still problematic.) - forgot to sign, Wordreader (talk) 02:05, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notoriety[edit]

>Her English-born mother was also an actor who achieved notoriety on the American stage.

Is there more on this, such as her name? She sounds interesting. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 22:58, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

block quote[edit]

> In the March 7, 1868 edition of The New York Times, the paper said of her debut performance:

-a part that she almost monopolized on the American stage, for the immediately succeeding years.Speaking of this debut and of Julia Dean's early years, Ireland [8] in his History of the New York Stage wrote: Youthful, graceful, delicately pretty, with a slight Hibernian cast of features, she at once awakened the public interest, and her intelligence and graceful study lent a charm to her performance which soon carried her to a point of popularity rarely exceeded.[5]

The partial NYT quote is too short to justify a block quote. Then there is this Ireland person -- where is his quote supposed to go? Rissa, copy editor (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A very nice niece[edit]

>Some years later Dean's namesake niece found her unmarked gravestone and had it replaced with a more substantial marker.

What is an unmarked gravestone? Rissa, copy editor (talk) 23:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
