Morris, Owen (1719?–1809), character actor. Virtually nothing is known of the early years of this performer except that he made his debut with the
American Company in 1759. Morris specialized in comic old men, including Oliver Surface and Polonius before retiring from the stage in 1790. The first Mrs. Owen Morris (d. 1767) was America's earliest Ophelia and, excluding a performance by British troops during the Revolutionary War, the earliest Lady Teazle. The second Mrs. Owen Morris (1753–1826) was a strikingly tall woman whose acting ability divided the chroniclers of her time. Nevertheless she proved a popular comedienne with the public, much admired for her Lady Teazle and her Beatrice, as well as her Ophelia. Her eccentricities were notorious, and she went to absurd lengths not to expose herself to daylight. Following the advent of Mrs.
Merry, her popularity waned rapidly.
