Adele Farrington

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.
