The 5 Women Who Loved John Wilkes Booth
Lucy Lambert Hale
They say opposites attract, and that was certainly the case with John Wilkes Booth and Lucy Lambert Hale — Booth a racist Confederate sympathizer and Lucy the abolitionist daughter of a Senator.
Booth first saw her at a distance in Washington, D.C., and he could not get her out of his head. Letters were exchanged, she was at his stage door often, and by March of 1865, they were committed to each other. Hale’s father opposed the match, and it ultimately came to nothing.
