Adele Mary Blood (April 23, 1886 – September 13, 1936) was an American actress known for her work in silent film, vaudeville, and theater.

Blood's first public performance was at the California Theatre in San Francisco, portraying the role of Marguerite alongside Lewis Morrison in his production of Faust.

Davis responded by naming Governor Earl Brewer of Mississippi as co-respondent in counter charges against Blood.

[9] On the night of September 13, 1936, Blood's 17-year-old daughter, Dawn, returned home after driving some friends to the railroad station.

Dawn and the two others rushed upstairs to find Blood unconscious on the floor, having shot herself through the head with a .52 Caliber Revolver.
