Biography/Timeline

1926

Alexander began his acting career with the Henry Jewett Players in Boston, debuting in Enter Madame. By 1926, he was regarded as a promising leading man with good looks and an easy and charming style and began appearing in more substantial roles.

1932

Alexander was signed to a film contract by Paramount Pictures, but his film debut in The Wiser Sex (1932) was not a success, and so he returned to Broadway. In 1934, he was signed to another film contract, this time by Warner Bros. His biggest successes of the period were A Midsummer Night's Dream and Captain Blood (both 1935).

1934

Alexander married Actress Aleta Freel on February 28, 1934, in East Orange, New Jersey. The marriage ended the following year when Freel committed suicide on December 7, 1935. On September 17, 1936, he married another Actress, Anne Nagel, with whom he had appeared in the films China Clipper and Here Comes Carter (both 1936).

1936

In 1936, he starred in Hot Money. It was a defining role in his persona as a glamorous, wore-clothes-well leading man, not in the usual Warner gangster mold of rough-hewn stars like Edward G. Robinson or Paul Muni. His final film, Ready, Willing and Able, was released posthumously.
