The Actress was a 1928 American silent drama film produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film was directed by Sidney Franklin and starred Norma Shearer.
This film was based on the 1898 play Trelawny of the 'Wells' by Arthur Wing Pinero that had first premiered on Broadway in 1898 starring Mary Mannering, which was revived by Ethel Barrymore in 1911, Laurette Taylor in 1925, and at the time this film was produced (1927) by Helen Gahagan. The story is only distantly related to the 1953 Jean Simmons film The Actress which was updated by actress Ruth Gordon. The play was first brought to the screen as a British made silent film Trelawny of the Wells in 1916.
This film is one of many lost MGM films from the 1920s.
