Beryl Mercer (13 August 1882 – 28 July 1939) was a Spanish-born American-based actress of the 1920s and 1930s.
Born to British parents in Seville, Beryl Mercer was best known for her motherly roles in film and regularly appeared as a grandmother or cook or maid in some high profile films. She appeared in over 50 films between 1916 and 1939 but her career was at a peak in the early- to mid-1930s where she regularly starred in between 5 and 10 pictures a year. [citation needed]
In 1933 Mercer appeared in Cavalcade, as a cook, and the following year made appearances in Jane Eyre, The Little Minister, and The Richest Girl in the World. In 1939, she appeared in The Little Princess as Queen Victoria.
Mercer died in Santa Monica, California in 1939, aged 56.
