Harry C. Bradley (born Harry Charles Bradley Cockrill;[1][2] April 15, 1869 – October 18, 1947) was an American film actor.[3] He appeared in more than 200 films between 1930 and 1946.

Early life and career

[edit]

Bradley was born and raised in San Francisco.[1][4] His father Theodore Cockrill was San Francisco's Chief of Police.[2]

Before he ever stepped in front of a movie camera, Bradley had amassed about 2 decades' worth of Broadway stage credits,[5] most notably in the original production of Anne Nichols' Abie's Irish Rose, in which Bradley portrayed Father Whelan in all 2,327 performances.[6][7]

Personal life and death

[edit]

Bradley was married at least twice, both times to fellow stage performers.

In 1894, he married Lurelle Lansing Waters.[8] She divorced Bradley on grounds of desertion in 1906,[9] but continued to appear alongside him onstage under her maiden name for at least another two years.[10]

From 1926 until her death in June 1947, Bradley was married to the stage actress and singer Lorena Atwood.[11] On October 18, scarcely four months later, Bradley suffered a fatal heart attack in Hollywood.[6]
