Consuelo Flowerton was a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl, stage and screen actress, and nightclub performer. She made her film debut in the silent film Camille (Metro Pictures Corporation, 1921) before returning to Broadway stage shows.

Flowerton continued to perform in stage shows throughout the 1930s and early 1940s. These dates also coincide with her appearances as a nightclub performer (she sang and played violin). While Flowerton may not have appeared in a Columbia Pictures film, her daughter, Nina Foch, did. Foch appeared in eighteen Columbia films between 1943 and 1949.
