Hope Hampton (Mae Elizabeth Hampton; 1897 – 1982). American silent motion picture actress and producer, who was noted for her seemingly effortless incarnation of siren and flapper types in silent-picture roles during the 1920s.
She was discovered by U.S. silent cinema pioneer Jules Brulatour while working as an extra for director Maurice Tourneur. She made her screen debut in 1920's A Modern Salome, and went on to feature prominently in several Brulatour-financed films. Her last starring role was in The Road to Reno (1938). In 1923, Hampton wed her manager Brulatour, and they remained married until his death in 1946.
