Born into slavery in 1834, the woman who would become known to millions as Aunt Jemima was really named Nancy Green. She was a warm, friendly woman who also happened to be an excellent cook (though, interestingly enough, the famous Aunt Jemima pancake recipe wasn't hers. It belonged to a company called the Pearl Milling Company). And it was in 1893 that she was discovered in Chicago, at the age of 59, by one R.T. Davis.

The first Aunt Jemima was Nancy Green. In 1933 Anna Robinson took the role, from 1948-1966 Edith Wilson portrayed Aunt Jemima. Also during that time frame Ethel Ernestine Harper played the role. The last three to have been Aunt Jemima were Rosie Hall, Aylene Lewis, and Anne Short Harrington.
