Adele Watson (January 3, 1890 – March 27, 1933) was an American actress during the silent film era. She was known for her roles in romance films Once and Forever (1927), and Blue Skies (1929), and Street Scene (1931).
Personal life and career Adele Watson was born in Morris, Minnesota, in 1890. She studied at St. Catherine's College–now known as St. Catherine University–in St. Paul and specialized in music and dramatics.
Watson was known for her homely appearance and played various domestic roles. Due to her career being primarily in the pre-Code silent film era, many of her roles go uncredited. Outside of her acting career, she was also a school principal, a legislative assistant, a billing clerk, a cashier, and more.
She died from pneumonia in Los Angeles, California, in 1933.
