Mabel Poulton
Mabel Poulton (born July 29, 1901 in London , † December 21, 1994 in London ) was an English film actress.
Poulton worked as a stenographer before she got into film. She made her debut, like Betty Balfour , in George Pearson's Nothing Else Matters (1920). She became a popular star in British cinema in the 1920s . In 1928 she starred alongside Ivor Novello in Adrian Brunel's The Constant Nymph and received excellent reviews for her performance. She has also appeared in films outside England: in Âme d'artiste (1924) by Germaine Dulac and Nachtgestalten (1929) by Hans Steinhoff .
Her career ended with the beginning of the age of talkies . Her heavy Cockney accent didn't match the characters she was associated with; an image change did not succeed. As early as 1931 it was no longer occupied. The attempt at a comeback in 1936 only brought her roles in two movies, after which it was finally over.
