Hackett family
Hackett family.James Henry Hackett (1800–71) was an American actor-manager, whose Falstaff was acclaimed for its symmetry of intellect and sensuality in America (1828) and England (1833). A keen student of Shakespeare, Hackett wrote detailed descriptive notes of Edmund Kean's Richard III (pub. 1959). By his second wife, the English-born actress Catharine Lee Sugg (1797–1848), Hackett had a son, James Keteltas (1869–1926), who played leading Shakespearian roles under Daly and collaborated with Joseph Urban in a scenically significant revival of Othello (1914).
