Biografia
Mabel Normand nasceu nos Estados Unidos, em 9 de novembro de 1892. Antes da fama, Mabel trabalhou como modelo para ilustrações. Em 1911 chamou a atenção de Mack Senett, que a viu no curta Her Awakening, dirigido por D. W. Griffith. O dono da Keystone lhe ofereceu uma oportunidade de fazer seus próprios filmes em sua companhia fundada em 1912. Considerada por muitos como a melhor comediante do cinema mudo, parecia extremamente frágil, mas na verdade era muito corajosa, fazendo ela mesma as suas cenas perigosas.
Lá alcançou fama e passou a dirigir seus próprios filmes a partir de 1913, estreando com “Mabel’s stormy na Affair”. A diretora também ficou conhecida por co-estrelar filmes ao lado de Charles Chaplin e Roscoe Arbuckle, os quais também dirigiu em vários filmes. Mabel fundou com Mack Senett a “Mabel Normand Feature Film Company”. As decepções e o alcool começaram a moldar sua personalidade de maneira assustadora, e a atriz começou a ter um comportamento cada vez mais extravagante.
Após flagrar seu noivo Mack Sennett com outra atriz, ela o abandonou na véspera do casamento. Alguns escândalos vieram a prejudicar sua carreira, como a morte do diretor Wiliam Desmond Taylor e posteriormente o negociante de petróleo Courtland Dines.
Em 1926 casou-se com Lew Cody, um ator. Os dois haviam se conhecido durante as filmagens de mickey (1918). Sua saúde, porém, entrava em declínio rapidamente. Mabel faleceu em decorrência de uma tuberculose, em 23 de fevereiro de 1930 na Califórnia. Tinha 37 anos.
