Sarah Cowell Le Moyne

Sarah Cowell Le Moyne (July 22, 1859 – July 18, 1915) was an American stage actress whose Broadway career spanned from 1878 to 1914. Based in New York City, she was recognized for her readings of Robert Browning's poetry and for her association with the Henry Street Settlement and Playhouse.

Le Moyne made her stage debut in 1878 as a member of Albert Marshman Palmer's company, appearing in A Celebrated Case at the Union Square Theatre. Over the course of her career she performed in at least fifteen Broadway productions, among them The Greatest Thing in the World, The Moment of Death, Catherine, and Everywoman. In 1898 she returned to the stage in Clyde Fitch's The Moth and the Flame at the Lyceum Theatre, and she continued performing through 1914.

In 1888 she married fellow actor William J. Le Moyne, and the two resided together on 34th Street. Following her husband's death in 1905, she retained his name and continued her acting career as Mrs. Le Moyne. She was noted for her fine understanding and careful elocution, and in 1902 she published her reminiscences.

Beyond her performing career, Le Moyne served as director of the 466 Grand Street branch of the Henry Street Playhouse, a position she held until her death on July 18, 1915.
