Miss DuPont

c. 1925

Miss DuPont (28 April 1894 – 6 February 1973) was an American film actress and fashion designer.^[1] Sometimes credited as Patty DuPont, she was born Patricia Hannon^[1] in Frankfort, Kentucky,^[2][3] though sources sometimes state her place of birth as Frankfort, Indiana.^[1] Primarily, she is remembered for her role as a wealthy and naive American woman seduced by Erich von Stroheim's odious count in Foolish Wives (1922). Stroheim is credited with discovering her, however she had already made several films beginning in 1919 with The Day She Paid.

She was the second wife of Sylvanus Stokes. They met while he was traveling in Los Angeles shortly after his 1926 divorce from his first wife, Margaret Fahnestock Stokes,^[4] and were married in January, 1928. Miss Dupont died in Palm Beach, Florida in 1973.
