    Ada Rehan (12 June 1857 – January 8, 1916) was an American actress and comedian who typified the "personality" style of acting in the nineteenth century. Ada Rehan was widely admired in both America and Europe, having acted in Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Stratford-on-Avon. When she died newspapers across the country mourned her passing, including a prominent obituary in The New York Times. Daly modelled the masthead of his theater, a depiction of Comedy, after Rehan. Rehan was the model for a solid silver statue of Justice that was presented as part of the State of Montana's mining exhibition at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. More than 25 years after Ada Rehan's death, a World War II Liberty ship was named after her, the USS Ada Rehan.
