Mabel "Nell" Taliaferro (May 21, 1887 – January 24, 1979) was an American stage, and a silent screen actress, known as ''the Sweetheart of American Movies''. Taliaferro was descended on her father's side from one of the early families who settled in Virginia in the 17th century, the Taliaferros, whose roots are from a northern Italian immigrant to England in the 16th century. Born as Maybelle Evelyn Taliaferro in New York City and raised in Richmond, Virginia, in 1912 her career began with the Selig Studios film version of ''Cinderella'' co-starring her then husband Thomas Carrigan.〔''Pictorial History of the Silent Screen'' by Daniel Blum c. 1953 page 25〕 She continued performing in films through her retirement in 1921. In 1940, she appeared in her final picture, ''My Love Came Back''. Taliaferro was a sister of film and stage actress Edith Taliaferro and the cousin of actress Bessie Barriscale. Her first husband was amusement park designer and manager Frederic Thompson.〔''New York Star '' (October 3, 1908) Vol.1 No.1〕 ==Filmography== *''My Love Came Back'' (1940) *''Alexander Hamilton'' (1924) *''The Rich Slave'' (1921) *''Sentimental Tommy'' (1921) *''The Mite of Love'' (1919) *''Draft'' 258 (1917) *''Peggy Leads the Way'' (1917)(extant) *''The Jury of Fate'' (1917) *''Peggy, the Will O' the Wisp'' (1917) *''A Magdalene of the Hills'' (1917) *''The Barricade'' (1917) *''A Wife by Proxy'' (1917)( *extant) *''The Sunbeam'' (1916) *''The Dawn of Love'' (1916) *''God's Half Acre'' (1916)( *extant) *''The Snowbird'' (1916)( *extant ) *''Her Great Price'' (1916) *''The Three of Us'' (1914) *''The Sunbeam'' (1912) *''Cinderella'' (1911; released January 1, 1912) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mabel Taliaferro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
