Stanhope Nelson Wheatcroft

Stanhope Wheatcroft (May 11, 1888 - February 13, 1966) was an American actor of the stage and screen who was primarily active during Hollywood's silent era.

Stanhope was born in New York City to Nelson Wheatcroft and Adeline Stanhope. Both of his parents were renowned actors and drama teachers born in Europe. Stanhope attended Columbia University in New York City, and reportedly decided to embark upon a career as an actor after his father's death. Broadway plays in which Wheatcroft appeared included Marrying Money (1914), A Gentleman from Mississippi (1908), The Warrens of Virginia (1907), The Movers (1907), Zira (1905), and Nancy Stair (1905). After enjoying popularity during the silent era, his career waned in the 1930s; his latter screen credits were primarily bit parts.

He died in Los Angeles in 1966, and was survived by his third wife, Faye.
