Maude Fulton (May 14, 1881 – November 9, 1950) was a Broadway stage actress who later became a Hollywood screenwriter. She was the daughter of Titus Parker Fulton and Lulu Belle Couchman.[1] She was stenographer, telegraph operator, and short story writer before becoming an actress. She first appeared on the stage at Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1904. As a young actress, Fulton was in the cast of Mam'zelle Champagne (1906), her Broadway debut.
Fulton was present in a performance of the play when Harry K. Thaw murdered architect Stanford White over the affections of Evelyn Nesbit.[2] She wrote and acted in the 1917 play The Brat, her greatest personal success, which was later made into a 1919 silent picture starring Alla Nazimova and then remade as an early talkie in 1930. During the silent era, Fulton wrote the intertitles for many a silent picture e.g. Lady Windermere's Fan (1925) with Ronald Colman and Don Juan (1926) with John Barrymore. She continued writing for films in Hollywood into the 1930s.
Fulton was married and divorced to Robert Ober. There were no children.
