Born Virginia Hicks, in Boston, she was a noted American stage actress at the turn of the 20th century. (1888-1918) Harned was her stage name.

She is mainly remembered for playing the title character in the 1895 Broadway premiere of the play Trilby based on George Du Maurier's novel of the same name. It is Harned's likeness from the play that is grafted onto the cover of original 1895 publications of the novel.

Edward Hugh Sothern (1896-1910), was her second husband who later married Julia Marlowe.

William Courtenay, her third husband, who appeared on stage with her several times left her a widow in 1933.
