Brittany Bradford is an American actor and producer.

She is perhaps best known for her roles in television series such as Julia and The Watcher.[1][2]

Early life and career

[edit]

Bradford was born and raised in Anaheim, California. From a young age, she pursued a career in the performing arts which ultimately led to securing acting roles on television.

Bradford's breakout role came in 2022 when she was cast in Julia, a series centered around television chef Julia Child. In the series, Bradford portrays Alice Naman, an associate producer at WGBH-TV who champions Child's cooking show.[3][4][5][6][1] Alice Naman was a fictional character inspired by Ruth Lockwood, the real-life producer behind Julia Child's The French Chef.[7] According to Bradford, having a Black character allowed the writers to explore the cultural and social dynamics of the 1960s.[8]

Following her role in Julia, Bradford continued to be cast in other projects, including The Watcher and Dead Ringers.[1] She has also appeared in Fire Country, Fear the Walking Dead, New Amsterdam and The Gilded Age.[1]

Bradford has also performed in stage productions, including in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' The Comeuppance and Alice Childress' Wedding Band: A Love/Hate Story in Black and White.[1][9][10]
