Bramwell Fletcher (20 February 1904 – 22 June 1988) was an English stage, film, and television actor.[1]
Career
Fletcher appeared on the stage in 1927 and made his Broadway debut in 1929. Hollywood and sound films soon beckoned. He made his first film in 1928, S.O.S. Fletcher co-starred in Warner Brothers' 1931 film Svengali with actor John Barrymore, whose daughter Diana would marry Fletcher a decade later. He had a brief but notable appearance in The Mummy (1932) as the assistant gone mad. In 1943, he abandoned films for the theatre and television. He wrote and acted in the critically successful 1965 play The Bernard Shaw Story.[2]

In 1950 he married Susan Robinson and had 3 children: Whit, Kent and Catherine Fletcher. In 1970 he married Lael Tucker Wertenbaker, living with her in Nelson, New Hampshire, moving to Keene in 1985.
