Mabel Trunnelle (November 8, 1879 – April 20, 1981)[citation needed] was an American actress who appeared in 194 films between 1908 and 1923.

Trunnelle was born in Dwight, Illinois and died in Glendale, California.

[1] Photoplay magazine argued that she was the merry-serious girl whose expressive eyes and face mirror emotions more effectively than a hundred voices.

She was educated upon the stage for the five years she had spent in films, mostly before Edison cameras.

Miss Trunnelle was a modest, cheerful, winsome young American wife whose husband was Herbert Prior.
