Charlotte Henry

Charlotte Henry was born on Mar 03, 1914 in USA. Charlotte Henry's big-screen debut came with Courage directed by Archie Mayo in 1930. Charlotte Henry is known for Charlie Chan at the Opera directed by H. Bruce Humberstone, Warner Oland stars as Charlie Chan and Boris Karloff as Gravelle. The upcoming new movie Charlotte Henry plays is Flying Blind which will be released on Aug 29, 1941.

Charlotte acted on stage from the age of five. At thirteen, she made her Broadway debut in 'Courage' (1928), two year later reprising her role for the screen version. Paramount wanted to cast an unknown actress in the title role of Alice au pays des merveilles (1933) and picked Charlotte from 7000 applicants worldwide (she was 57th to audition). Unfortunately, the picture flopped -- despite an excellent supporting cast which featured the likes of W.C. Fields, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper and Edna May Oliver. Charlotte then appeared as Bo-Peep in Un jour une bergère (1934) with Laurel & Hardy, but, thereafter, finding meatier roles few and far between. She had one final fling with the movies as the perfunctory female lead in Monogram's Bowery Blitzkrieg (1941), opposite the East Side Kids. She seems to have lost heart after that and returned to acting in stock theater. Charlotte eventually left L.A. and relocated to southern California where she had a lengthy tenure as the executive secretary to the Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Diego.
