Genevieve Hamper (September 8, 1888 – February 13, 1971)[citation needed] was an American stage and screen actress.

[2] She often appeared in early silent films[citation needed] and on stage with her much older first husband Robert B. Mantell.

[5][6] Hamper worked for the Fox Film Corporation, including portraying Claire in The Green-Eyed Monster (1916).

[7] In 1929, Hamper directed her own Shakespearean company that presented plays in venues including the Metropolitan Theater in Minneapolis.

Her directing approach included reducing or eliminating "the ranting and sonorous mouthing treatment of characters" while still delivering the essence of each play to the audience.
