Robert C. Hilliard
Robert Cochran Hilliard (May 28, 1857 - June 6, 1927) was an American stage actor. A popular matinee idol of his day, he was nicknamed Handsome Bob.〔(When They Were Twenty-One ), ''Theatre Magazine''〕〔(The Oxford Companion to American Theatre ), p. 309〕
==Career==
Hilliard was born in New York City in 1857, and got involved in acting through amateur productions while he was working as a clerk on Wall Street. His professional debut was in the play ''False Shame'' in Brooklyn in 1886. He acted in many plays until retiring in 1918. ''The Oxford Companion to American Theatre'' states that "although he was a star for many years, most of the plays in which he acted were popular but ephemeral works." He also made frequent appearance in vaudeville between plays.〔
As his nickname "Handsome Bob" might indicate, Hilliard was known for his attractive looks and for being very well-dressed in the fashions of the day. By 1888, Hilliard was set up as a foil by the press to Evander Berry Wall as to who should be called "King of the Dudes".〔Bryk, William (22 June 2005). (King of the Dudes ), ''The New York Sun''〕
