Early life

Bridges was born in San Leandro, California, to Lloyd Vernet Bridges Sr. (1887–1962), who was involved in the California hotel business and once owned a movie theater, and his wife Harriet Evelyn (Brown) Bridges (1893–1950).[1] His parents were both natives of Kansas, and of English ancestry. Bridges graduated from Petaluma High School in 1930.[2] He then studied political science at UCLA, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.

Career

Bridges had small uncredited roles in the films Freshman Love (1936) and Dancing Feet (1936).

Theatre

Bridges made his Broadway debut in 1937 in a short-lived production of Shakespeare's Othello, starring Walter Huston and Brian Aherne; Bridges was in the Ensemble.
He appeared on stage in Suzanna and the Elders (1940). In Hollywood he had an uncredited role in Northwest Passage (1940).

Bridges later reflected, "I didn't have enough maturity for a leading man. I looked too broad in the shoulders... too much like a kid. I never could get into (Columbia studio boss) Harry Cohn's office. All the best roles went to Glenn Ford and William Holden. They just put me in these awful B-pictures, like Two Latins from Manhattan. I even did a Three Stooges short. Sometimes I'd be in two or three movies a week. It was tough sledding."[5]
