# Harry C. Bradley (actor)

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

## Early life and career

Bradley was born and raised in San Francisco. His father Theodore Cockrill was San Francisco's Chief of Police.
Before he ever stepped in front of a movie camera, Bradley had amassed about 2 decades' worth of Broadway stage credits, most notably in the original production of Anne Nichols' Abie's Irish Rose, in which Bradley portrayed Father Whelan in all 2,327 performances.

## Personal life and death

Bradley was married at least twice, both times to fellow stage performers.
In 1894, he married Lurelle Lansing Waters. She divorced Bradley on grounds of desertion in 1906, but continued to appear alongside him onstage under her maiden name for at least another two years.
From 1926 until her death in June 1947, Bradley was married to the stage actress and singer Lorena Atwood. On October 18, scarcely four months later, Bradley suffered a fatal heart attack in Hollywood.
