Adele Farrington(1867-1936)
- Actress
- Writer
Adele Farrington was born in 1867. The exact date and place seems to
have been lost in the sands of time. She was a late comer to films
after spending some time on the stage. Her first movie was when she was
47 years old when she played in 1914's BUCK PARVIN IN THE MOVIES. While
she was largely a character actress, she occasionally appeared in more
substantial roles. One of her finer performances was IN OLD KENTUCKY in
1919. Once films entered the twenties, Adele continued to stay busy in
her character roles. She played anything from aunts to mothers to high
society women. Her final film performance was in 1926 in SHADOW OF THE
LAW at the age of 59. Adele died in Los Angeles, California on December
19, 1936. She was 69 years old.
