Flora Bramley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flora Bramley (born 1909, died 23 June 1993) was an English actress and comedian, born in London, England.

Flora started out on the London stage in musical revues, and in June 1926, while visiting relatives in Hollywood, was signed by United Artists. Her first film (for Film Booking Offices of America), The Dude Cowboy (1926) was followed by three more films, all for United Artists. Flora was persuaded by Harry Brand, general manager of the Buster Keaton studios, to appear in Buster Keaton's College (1927).

In 1928, Flora was selected to be a WAMPAS Baby Star (sometimes mis-credited as Flora Bromley), receiving a good amount of publicity. That year, her third film, We Americans (1928) was released. In late 1929, Flora appeared on stage at The Fulton, Oakland, CA, on 1 December 1929, as Laurel in Stella Dallas, directed by future screen actor and director, Irving Pichel. Flora Bramley's short film career ended when she appeared in The Flirting Widow, in 1930.

She died on 23 June 1993 at her home in Moline, Illinois, USA.
