Born on September 21, 1913, in Brooklyn, Grace Bradley came from an affluent family and became interested in the big screen at an early age. She had a crush on an older actor named William Boyd, and crazy as it sounds, she ended up marrying the guy years later. When Bradley made it into theaters, she quickly gained a reputation as one of Hollywood's first femme fatales, according to the Telegraph.
The Grace Bradley in the movies was quite different from the real Bradley, though, who generally prioritized her family life before her career. Bradley and Boyd never had children, and as her husband got older, Bradley took care of him until his death in 1972. Something about this experience must have inspired her because immediately afterward she took on a surprising second career as a certified nursing aide, working at the same hospital where her husband had died. Throughout this time, Bradley maintained a high profile in Hollywood circles, and taught twice-a-week tai chi classes well into her older years. She died on September 21, 2010, her 97th birthday.
