Hope Hampton Autographs
Mae Elizabeth Hampton (February 19, 1897 – January 23, 1982), known professionally as Hope Hampton, was an American actress and soprano. She was a silent motion picture actress and producer noted for her seemingly effortless incarnation of siren and flapper types in silent-picture roles during the 1920s. She was also an opera singer.
The daughter of Ellsworth Kraft Hampton and his wife Evelyn Grace Hampton, Hope Hampton was born in Houston, Texas on February 19, 1897. She was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She attended H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College in New Orleans. There she participated in student productions of plays. Wishing to pursue a career as an actress, she studied drama at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (then known as the Sargent Dramatic School) in New York City.
Hampton won a newspaper beauty contest in Dallas after one of her friends submitted her photograph to a local paper. The attention from this led to an offer to work in silent films. She first worked for director Maurice Tourneur in a minor uncredited part in Woman (1918). Through Tourneur she met American silent cinema pioneer Jules Brulatour. Brulatour, who was then married to Dorothy Gibson, began an affair with Hope and his marriage to Gibson ended in divorce in 1919. Brulatour was determined to make Hope a star, and founded Hope Hampton Productions to make films with her as his leading actress. Her first leading role in a film with this company was in the title part of A Modern Salome (1920).
