Biography

Athene Seyler, a renowned British actress, entered this world on May 31st, 1889, in the bustling district of Hackney, located within the iconic city of London, England, United Kingdom.

Throughout her illustrious career, she gained recognition for her captivating performances in a variety of film and television productions, including the 1935 swashbuckling adventure "Drake the Pirate", the 1957 supernatural thriller "Curse of the Demon", and the 1951 mystery drama "The Franchise Affair".

In her personal life, Athene Seyler was twice married, first to the esteemed actor Nicholas Hannen, and subsequently to James Bury Sterndale-Bennett.

Tragically, her remarkable life came to a close on September 12th, 1990, in the affluent neighborhood of Hammersmith, situated within the same city where she was born, London, England, United Kingdom.
