George Brent | Easter Rising in Hollywood
Who was the suave hero to Bette Davis' heroine in eleven films? This was Irish-born George Brent (1899-1979) who would marry five women and propose marriage to Davis in 1940 (she refused). Acting as a courier for the IRA or a doppelganger for Michael Collins (1890-1922) depending on who you asked, Brent was relied upon by Warner Brothers to tame their more high-spirited leading ladies. Happy Easter!
