Mabel Thompson is the deceased wife of Nucky Thompson. While Nucky tells anyone who asks that she died of consumption in 1913, she actually committed suicide. Mabel was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1885. She married Nucky Thompson some time before 1912. Their son Enoch Thompson Jr. was born just before Christmas in 1912. He was sickly and underweight, most likely premature. She was determined to nurse him to health but she had little support from her husband, who was terrified of the frail baby, afraid to hold him or even look at him. Nucky avoided them completely and put everything into his new job as county treasurer.
A week after the birth, Nucky returned home late and finally found the courage to look at his son, at which point he immediately realized the baby was dead. Mabel was “broken from reality", she had been caring for the infant's corpse for days as if he were alive.
She was diagnosed with melancholia and doctors assured Nucky that she would recover with time. Nucky knew better, later admitting that he knew Mabel needed him, but he was "so very, very busy.” Mabel, left alone once again while her husband worked, slashed her wrists with his razor a few weeks after the baby's burial. She has only appeared in photographs, played uncredited by actress Molly Parker. ("Boardwalk Empire")
