BiographyGranger was born Anna Brainard in Middletown, Connecticut. She made her Broadway debut in A Woman's Heart at the Union Square Theatre.[1] She took over the lead part in Led Astray when Rose Eytinge became ill. She also appeared in The Two Orphans, Two Nights in Rome, The Planter's Wife, Broken Hearts, and My Partner. Later she took on more Shakespearean roles, and also appeared in more Broadway hits such as The First Year (1920) and Pigs (1924). While playing in Pigs in Chicago she fell ill, and had to retire after failing to fully recover from surgery. She retired after a 55-year stage career.[2]
Historian David S. Shields has written that Granger competed with Clara Morris for "the title of the most gripping actress of the American stage during the third quarter of the 19th century." Her talent led many New York theatre managers to vie for her, with associations with Augustin Daly, Lester Wallack, and the Union Square company. She also "had a particular interest in elevating the anguish of contemporary women to the status of classical tragedy".[3]
