Adele Farrington (1867 - 19 December 1936) was an American actress of the stage and the silent film era.[1]
Born in Brooklyn, New York,[2][3] Farrington had the lead in This Is the Life (1915) for the American Film Company. She also did her own stunts for the film.[1]
Personal life and death
Farrington was married to, and divorced from, actor Hobart Bosworth.[4] Her relationship with Bosworth led to his divorce from a previous wife in 1903. In the divorce suit, the keeper of a boardinghouse testified that Bosworth and Farrington had represented themselves to her as husband and wife when they lodged there. Bosworth offered no defense in that suit.[5]
On December 19, 1936, Farrington died in Los Angeles at age 69. Her body was cremated following the funeral two days later.[6]
