Betty Compson filmography

This page includes Betty Compson's (March 19, 1897 – April 18, 1974) known film appearances from 1915 to 1948.

Films from 1915 to 1919 are shorts, mostly for Al Christie, unless otherwise stated.

A big breakout came in 1919, with The Miracle Man, which is now lost.

In the early-to-mid 1920s, Compson was a major player at Paramount.

Her fame began to decline after marrying director James Cruze, and she would remain a feature support for the rest of her film career.
