Couple Profile

The daughter of producer William A. Brady, she was born in New York and studied at the Boston Conservatory of Music with the intention of becoming an opera singer but turned to the stage in 1909, making her debut as a minor courtier in Robert Mantell`s mounting of As You Like It. Brady was featured in musicals, such as The Balkan Princess (1911), and in a 1912 series of Gilbert and Sullivan revivals, but she also essayed dramatic roles, such as Meg in Little Women (1912), the loyal wife Alice Nelson in The Family Cupboard (1913), the sentimental Beulah Randolph in Things That Count (1913), and Mary Horton who hides her past in Sinners (1915). She then enjoyed long runs as Jennie in Forever After (1918), the hostage Mamie in Zander the Great (1923), the guilt�]ridden Ina Bowman in Bride of the Lamb (1926), and blackmailer Laura Sargent in A Most Immoral Lady (1928). Brady`s last role was generally acknowledged as her best: Lavinia Mannon in Mourning Becomes Electra (1931). Brooks Atkinson wrote, �gMiss Brady . . . has one of the longest parts ever written. None of her neurotic dramatics in the past has prepared us for the demonic splendor of her Lavinia. She speaks in an ominous, full voice that only once or twice breaks into the splintery diffusion of artificial climaxes.�h She enjoyed a successful film career in the 1930s.
