Born on September 21, 1913, in Brooklyn, New York, Grace Bradley was a petite and lovely blonde actress who began her career in the 1930s. Initially studying to be a concert pianist, she played Carnegie Hall at the age of 15 and went on to model and take singing and dancing lessons.
She made her stage debut in the musicals "Strike Me Pink" and "The Little Show" on Broadway, before being "discovered" by a Paramount Pictures director and signing a film contract.
Out west, Bradley often played assertive "bad girls" or femme-fatales in films such as "Too Much Harmony" (1933),"Six of a Kind" (1934),"Come On, Marines!" (1934),and "The Gilded Lily" (1935).
In 1937, she met William Boyd, aka "Hopalong Cassidy," and married him just three weeks later. She spent the rest of her life devoted to her husband's career, appearing in a few more films before retiring completely.
After Boyd's death in 1972, Bradley continued to work on preserving his legacy, co-authoring a biography with Michael Cochran in 2008. She passed away on her 97th birthday, and was interred next to her husband at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
