Robert Edward Homans [1] (November 8, 1877 – July 28, 1947) was an American actor who entered films in 1923 after a lengthy stage career. [2]
Robert Homans was born November 8, 1877, in Malden, Massachusetts. [3] Although he studied medicine for three years after his college graduation, a 1906 newspaper article noted that "the 'stage bee' got into his bonnet and nothing would do but that he become an actor." [4] His Broadway credits include The Blue Bird (1910), The Blue Envelope (1915), Johnny, Get Your Gun (1916) and Like a King (1921). [5] [6]
His screen debut came in Madame Sherry. He appeared in some 400 films between 1917 and 1946. [3]
On April 18, 1909, Homans married Agnes J. Mellon in San Francisco. [7] Another source gives his wife's name as Agnes Maynard. [8]
Homans died in Los Angeles, California on July 28, 1947, from a heart attack. [3] [5]
