Formerly a member of The Four Hundred in New York, she was one of the first American society women to become a stage actress. Urquhart was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was the first of four children of Augusta (née Slocomb) and Col. David Urquhart. Her father was a merchant and her mother the daughter of a hardware merchant. Because her family was affluent, she was privately educated. When she was eighteen years old, Urquhart married coffee broker James Brown Potter on December 7, 1877. They had a daughter, Anne "Fifi" Urquhart Potter, in 1879. The Brown–Potters visited England in the summer of 1886. While attending a palace ball, she met the George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales, who invited the couple to spend the weekend Sandringham House. James returned to the United States with their daughter Fifi, while Cora remained in England to pursue a career on the stage. Potter divorced Urquhart on June 4, 1900, on the grounds of "desertion for more than five years and living apart for more than ten years" and remarried in 1904. However, Cora continued to use his name as her stage name. In 1912, she brought her mother to England and they lived at Staines on the Thames in a stone house that had previously served as a lodge of Windsor Castle. In 1936, she died at her villa in Beaulieu-sur-Mer at the age of 78 years.
