Catharine "Caty" Greene

Carol Simon Levin portrays Catharine "Caty" Greene, the indomitable wife of Nathanael Greene, one of General George Washington's most valued officers.

Known as a witty raconteur, she enlivened the spirits of officers and troops alike as the war ranged from New Jersey to South Carolina, and she famously danced for 3 hours straight with George Washington.

Her pluck and spirit carried her through victories and tragedies, not only during the war, but throughout a remarkable life of resilience and reinvention.
