Description: FLORA BRAMLEY SIGNED AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO Flora Bramley (1904 – 1993) was an actor and comedian. Born in London, she started out on stage in British musical revues, but, in June 1926, Flora visited America with her family where she and her sister Alma attempted to start careers in Hollywood, and were measurably helped by the fact their paternal aunt (Ann) was married to I.C. Freud, a business associate of studio executive Joseph M. Schenck. Flora’s first film — Bob Custer’s The Dude Cowboy (FBO; 1926) — was followed by three more films. Her second was released by Schenck’s United Artists, when she was persuaded by Harry Brand, general manager of the Buster Keaton studios, to appear in Keaton's College (1927). In 1928, Bramley was selected to be a WAMPAS Baby Star (sometimes mis-credited as Flora Bromley), receiving a generous dollop of publicity. That same year, her third effort, actor George Sidney’s We Americans (Universal; 1928), was released. Between pictures, Bramley appeared onstage at the Empire Theatre for the 1927 production, Interference. and on stage at the Fulton in Oakland, on December 1 1929, as Laurel in Stella Dallas (directed by future screen actor and director, Irving Pichel). Bramley's film career ended with her fourth feature, Basil Rathbone’s talkie, The Flirting Widow, (Warner Bros;1930). Flora returned to England, where she continued her acting career in London. She wed William Hartman-Cee in London in 1947, and during the 1960s she and her husband relocated to Moline, Illinois near Flora’s sister Norgie. Bramley’s husband died in 1982, and Flora — an avid gardener in her later years — died at the Trinity Medical Center in Moline on Wednesday, June 23, 1993, atage 88 in relative obscurity.
