Biography
With Basil Rathbone, British actor Bruce (1895-1953) portrayed the famous crime-solving pair of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson in 14 films, beginning with The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1939. For the next six years, their legendary performances in Sherlock Holmes mysteries such as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1939), Pearl of Death (1944) and Dressed to Kill (1946) caused them to be symbolically linked with the detective duo created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930). After serving in World War I, Bruce began his acting career performing both in London and on Broadway; he made his first British film in 1931 and in 1934 began work in Hollywood. His movie credits include Treasure Island(1934), Rebecca(1940) and Hong Kong(1951).
