Lucile Browne (March 18, 1907 – May 10, 1976) was an American film actress. She starred opposite John Wayne in the 1935 films Texas Terror and Rainbow Valley.

While filming The Airmail Mystery in 1932, Browne met her future husband, actor James Flavin. They married soon after and stayed together for more than 40 years until his death April 23, 1976. Devastated over his death, Browne died seventeen days later on May 10. She had one son, William James Flavin, a professor.

Biography

Après une prestation comme figurante dans Le Roi des rois (1927) de Cecil B. DeMille, Lucile Browne obtient un premier rôle dans The Last of the Duanes d'Alfred L. Werker, produit par la Fox et sorti en 1930, aux côtés de George O'Brien. Jusqu'en 1937, elle tourne principalement des films de série B, notamment des serials (dont Le Dernier des Mohicans de Ford Beebe et B. Reeves Eason, version de 1932, où elle personnifie Alice Munro) et des westerns.

Parmi ses autres films notables de cette première période, citons Fra Diavolo d'Hal Roach et Charley Rogers (1933, avec Laurel et Hardy), Double Harness de John Cromwell (1933, avec Ann Harding et William Powell), ou encore Texas Terror et Rainbow Valley de Robert N. Bradbury (tous deux avec John Wayne, sortis en 1935).

Elle tient son ultime premier rôle dans le western Cheyenne Rides Again de Robert F. Hill, sorti en 1937. Par la suite et jusqu'à son retrait définitif en 1950 (après quarante-six films américains en tout), hormis deux courts métrages — respectivement en 1939 et 1947 —, Lucile Browne apparaît uniquement dans des petits rôles non crédités, tel celui d'une manucure dans Suzy... dis-moi oui (1950) d'Edward Buzzell, son avant-dernier film.

Mentionnons encore le serial The Airmail Mystery de Ray Taylor, une production Universal sortie en 1932, où elle partage la vedette avec James Flavin (dont c'est le premier film), qu'elle rencontre sur ce tournage et épouse la même année. Ils tournent cinq autres films ensemble dans les années 1930 (dont Le Secret magnifique de John M. Stahl, version de 1935, comme seconds rôles de caractère non crédités). Leur mariage prend fin à la mort de l'acteur survenue le 23 avril 1976, suivie dix-sept jours après par celle de l'actrice.
