Description

Consuelo Flowerton was a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl, stage and screen actress, and nightclub performer. She made her film debut in the silent film Camille (Metro Pictures Corporation, 1921) before returning to Broadway stage shows. She appeared in two more films, one long and one short-form, in 1924 and 1928 (neither produced or distributed by Columbia Pictures). Flowerton continued to perform in stage shows throughout the 1930s and early 1940s. These dates also coincide with her appearances as a nightclub performer (she sang and played violin). While Flowerton may not have appeared in a Columbia Pictures film, her daughter, Nina Foch, did. Foch appeared in eighteen Columbia films between 1943 and 1949.
