Mildred Considine (1887–1933) was an American screenwriter and actress active during Hollywood's silent era.

Mildred was born in Chicago to John Considine (a big-time vaudeville promoter and theater manager who attracted a fair amount of controversies in his day) and Julia Nussbaumer.

[1] Her parents divorced when she was young after her mother found out that her father—who spent a good deal of time working in Seattle—had taken up with another woman.

[2] She spent most of her childhood with her mother and stepfather in Chicago, where she later attended the Academy of Fine Arts.

[3] Given her family's vaudeville background, it was not surprising Mildred was writing and performing at venues in Chicago and around the country from a young age.
