Cathcart stämdes 1855 för kontraktsbrott av Brooke, vilket blev ett uppmärksammad fall i media. Mary Fanny Cathcart beskrivs som Australiens största kvinnliga teaterstjärna mellan 1855 och 1865 inom både högre komedi och Shakespeare. Hon beskrivs som vacker men också som en begåvad artist, och var känd för sin preciscion och trohet för detaljer, och mottog juveler av publiken. Hon turnerade runt hela Australien, men hade sin bas i Melbourne. 1865 började hon överlåta sina roller på yngre skådespelare och tackade allt oftare nej till roller, men då hon återigen blev aktiv 1871 hälsades hon med stort bifall. Mellan 1872 och 1877 turnerade hon i Nya Zeeland, USA och Australien. Hon agerade då mestadels i sin makes pjäser. (sv)
