Betty Compson

Betty Compson (March 19, 1897 – April 18, 1974), American actress, vintage silver print postcard.  

Compson began in silents with her first film in November 1915. She made 41 films in 1916 alone, although all of them were shorts for Al Christie with the exception of one feature 'Almost a Widow.' She continued this pace of making numerous short films well into the middle of 1918 when after a long apprenticeship with Christie she started making features exclusively. She completed 'The Miracle Man' (1919) for George Loane Tucker. Compson's rise as a star in motion pictures began with her portrayal of Rose in this production.
