About
She was born in 1880 in New York City to Rebecca and Joseph Frankau, an actor. Joseph was a cousin of London cigar importer Arthur Frankau and thus, by marriage, of novelist and art historian Frank Danby, whom Aline recalled visiting as a child when Joseph Frankau was performing in London. By the time she was 17, both of her parents had died and she was raised by her aunt, Rachel Goldsmith.
