Morant, Fanny (1821–1900), actress. The attractive, if somewhat mouse‐faced, performer was born in England and performed at Drury Lane before settling in America in 1853. From 1860 to 1868 she appeared with Wallack's great company and then Augustin
Daly's new ensemble. With the group Morant played such diverse parts as the scorned Clothilde in
Fernande; the motherly, matchmaking Mrs. Ten Eyck in
Divorce; Mistress Page; and Mrs. Candour. Despite her seeming success she left Daly's for the
Union Square Theatre where, willingly or no, she became one of its leading character actresses. George
Odell has written, “No one ever surpassed her grand old ladies of comedy and drama.”
