Consuelo Flowerton, actress and singer, conversing with a man, copyprint, early 1920s

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.
