Thena Jasper was an African American singer and actress who worked during Hollywood's silent era.
A native of Pennsylvania, Jasper moved to Los Angeles with her husband Adolph (a baseball manager) by the early 1910s and began appearing in a string of mostly uncredited roles, often playing maids to wealthy white characters. She once told a reporter, "If I had all the money represented by all the âÂÂmillionaireâ characters IâÂÂve worked for in the pictures, I'd never have to work again.âÂÂ
