Juliette Compton


Juliette Compton was an American dancer and actress whose career began in the silent film era and concluded with That Hamilton Woman in 1941.

Career

Compton was born in Columbus, Georgia, on May 3, 1899. She was a model for illustrator Harrison Fisher, and perhaps his favorite model.
Compton's show business career began in 1918 with Broadway the musical The Kiss Burglar. She went on to appear in the Broadway musical What's in A Name and the 1920 Ziegfeld Follies.
She appeared on film in 1924, including the movie The Wine of Life. Compton went on to make dozens of films until 1941 when she appeared in That Hamilton Woman.
In London, she appeared on stage, including the musical The League of Notions with the Dolly Sisters.

Financial problems

On January 4, 1927, a bankruptcy court in London, England, appointed an official receiver for Compton after presentation of evidence that she had no assets and had liabilities of $37,500. A news brief distributed by International News Service said that a nervous breakdown suffered by Compton was "attributed to difficulties in which she finds herself over debts."

Personal life

Compton married James Bartram, an Australian businessman, on December 24, 1926, in London, England. She left the nursing home where she had been ill for several weeks in order to be married at Christ Church, then returned to the nursing home immediately after the wedding. They separated in 1936 and divorced on March 25, 1942.
She died in Pasadena, California.
