Hope Hampton — Blue Book of the Screen (1923) 🇺🇸

The “Lone Star State” has sent several stars to twinkle in motion pictures, Houston having the honor to enter one of the peachblown variety — Hope Hampton, born in that city in 1902. She grew up imbued with all the vivacity and freshness that come from an active life out of doors.

After graduating from high school, she went to New York, accompanied by her mother, to study in the Sargent Dramatic School. Her work in Sargent school plays finally was so satisfactory that she received offers from both stage and picture people. She chose a screen career, although she was possessed of a beautiful singing voice.

Her first picture was with the Maurice Tourneur Productions, the title of which was “Woman” and which was released about November, 1918. Then she was starred in “A Modern Salome,” which was released by the Metro Pictures Corporation.

Her subsequent pictures have been “The Bait” for the Famous Players‑Lasky Corporation; “Stardust” and “The Light in the Dark,” distributed by the First National. Miss Hampton’s forthcoming special production will be “Lawful Larceny,” to be made by Allan Dwan for the Famous Players‑Lasky Corporation, which she is working on at this time.

In the past two years she has made many personal appearances. Her stage presence, her singing and personality are captivating.

She is not married. Her hobby is music. She also loves to travel. She has made many trips abroad and is planning a trip around the world when her time permits.

Her hair is brown and her eyes are blue. Her weight is about 120 pounds and her height five feet five inches.

Horseback riding and golf are her favorite pastimes.

Miss Hampton is an outdoor girl.
