White, Jane (b. 1922), actress. The African‐American performer, who has played Greek and Shakespeare characters, is mostly remembered for her most atypical role: the funny, domineering Queen in the musical
Once Upon a Mattress (1959). A native New Yorker and the daughter of NAACP executive Walter White, she was educated at Smith College before studying acting with Herbert
Berghof, Uta
Hagen, and Peter Frye. White made her Broadway debut in 1945 as the Southern innocent Nonnie Anderson who has an affair with a white boy in
Strange Fruit. Yet most of her subsequent roles have been in the classics, in which the question of her race was not an issue.
