BETTY COMPSON (March 19, 1897 – April 18, 1974) was an American actress and film producer who got her start during Hollywood's silent era. She is best known for her performances in The Docks of New York and The Barker, the latter of which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
In 1941, Compson appeared in a small role in an Alfred Hitchcock film, Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Most of her later films were low-budget efforts. Compson's last film was 1948's Here Comes Trouble; after retiring from the screen, she began a cosmetic line.
Compson died April 18, 1974, of a heart attack at her home in Glendale, California, aged 77.
