Nora Cecil (September 26, 1878 – May 1, 1951) was an English-born American character actress whose 30-year career spanned both the silent and sound film eras.
Cecil's career began on the stage, when she debuted in London at age 19.[1] She appeared in a single Broadway production, The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast, which ran for more than 240 performances at the Broadway Theatre in 1901–1902.[2] (A 1930 newspaper article says that Cecil "made her debut, three decades ago, on the London stage.")[3]
Film
Cecil appeared in well over 100 feature films and film shorts.[4] In 1915, she moved from the stage into films, her first appearance being in a starring role in The Arrival of Perpetua, directed by Émile Chautard.[5] She often played "thin-lipped, stern-visaged dowagers and forbidding mothers-in-law"[citation needed] and "welfare workers, landladies, schoolmistresses and maiden aunts".[6]
