Ormetta Grace Hawley (February 21, 1889,[citation needed] Holyoke, Massachusetts[1]—June 3, 1942, Rome, New York) was an American actress.

Hawley attended the New England Conservatory of Music.[2] She began her acting career in live theatre with a stock theater company in Boston[1] before turning to the new silent film industry in 1911 with Lubin Studios in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[3]

Over her short film career she reportedly appeared in more than three hundred motion pictures, a large number of which would have been short films. She made her last film in 1919.

Hawley was married to Charles Fulcher, with whom she operated a farm near Camden, New York, for the last 15 years of her life. She also painted portraits and wrote stories for children. She died in a hospital in Rome, New York, on June 3, 1942.[4]
