Ruth Draper's mother was the daughter of Charles Anderson Dana, editor and publisher of the New York Sun and had married Dr. Draper in 1878 some years after the loss of his first wife, Lucy. Her nephew, Paul Draper, was a noted dancer and actor. Draper's second cousin was the society architect Paul Phipps, father of British actress Joyce Grenfell (Grenfell's career as a monologuist was directly inspired by Draper). Her nephew Raimund Sanders Draper was a heroic WWII pilot.
