Charles Edward "Buddy" Rogers (August 13, 1904 – April 21, 1999) was an American film actor and musician.

A talented trombonist skilled on several other musical instruments, Rogers performed with his own dance band in motion pictures and on radio.

[1] According to American Dance Bands On Record and Film (1915–1942), compiled by Richard J. Johnson and Bernard H. Shirley (Rustbooks Publishing, 2010), Rogers was not a bandleader in the usual sense of the term.

Their romance had begun in 1927, when they co-starred in My Best Girl,[7] but the two kept their relationship hidden until Pickford's separation and 1936 divorce from Douglas Fairbanks.

[11] Rogers died at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, on April 21, 1999, at the age of 94 of natural causes, and was interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Cathedral City, near Palm Springs.
