Alice Hegan Rice, also known as Alice Caldwell Hegan, (January 11, 1870 February 10, 1942) was an American novelist. Her 1901 novel Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch became a play and four films. Rice was born on January 11, 1870, in Shelbyville, Kentucky, to Samuel Watson Hegan and Sallie P. Hegan. Her father was an art dealer so she was born with a knack for creativity.[citation needed] As a child, she would entertain her family members with creative stories that she came up with on the spot.
