Charles Brabin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Brabin (April 17, 1883 – November 3, 1957) was an American film director and screenwriter active during the silent era, and pursued a short-lived career in talkies.
He was born in Liverpool, England, and was educated at St. Francis Xavier College. Brabin sailed to New York in the early 1900s and, while holding down odd jobs there, he tried his hand as a stage actor. He joined the Edison Company around 1908, acting first and then directing. His last film was A Wicked Woman in 1934.
Brabin wed silent film star Theda Bara in 1921, and remained married to her until her death of cancer in 1955.
