Charles D. Brown
Biography
Charles D. Brown was an American actor who divided his working life between the Broadway stage and the movies. He was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and his Broadway career stretched from 1911 to 1937, more than a quarter of a century in the theater. His earliest screen credit was behind the camera rather than in front of it: in 1914 he wrote and directed a short film, his only such project. As a performer he was far more prolific, appearing in more than 100 films between 1921 and his death in 1948, a run of nearly three decades. Brown died in Hollywood, California, on November 25, 1948, at the age of 61, and was buried in Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in North Hollywood.
