Hope Hampton (Mae Elizabeth Hampton; February 19, 1897 – January 23, 1982) was an American silent motion picture actress and producer, who was noted for her seemingly effortless incarnation of siren and flapper types in silent-picture roles during the 1920s.

[1] Texas-born, Philadelphia-bred beauty contest winner Hampton was discovered by U.S. silent cinema pioneer Jules Brulatour while working as an extra for director Maurice Tourneur.

She made her screen debut in 1920's A Modern Salome, and went on to feature prominently in several Brulatour-financed films.

The idea that she ever toured with the Metropolitan Opera is belied by a look at the company's online archives.

Later she was known as The Duchess of Park Avenue, a leading member of New York's social set.
