It was in John Gay's Beggar's Opera, as Polly Peachum, that Miss Fenton made her greatest success;[3] she debuted the role on 29 January 1728. Fenton's portrayal of Polly was so popular that Londoners were identifying her as Polly both on and offstage.[citation needed] Her pictures were in great demand, songs and verses were written to her and books published about her, and she was the most talked-of person in London. Hogarth's picture shows her in one of the scenes, with her future husband, the Duke of Bolton, in a box.[3] After the play's first run, Fenton's salary was doubled, and she appeared as Alida in John Vanbrugh's adaptation of The Pilgrim. Two of her notable roles are Leanthe (Love and a Bottle, a comedy by the Irish writer George Farquhar, 1698), and Ophelia (Hamlet).
