Olive Sloane
Olive Sloane (16 December 1896 – 28 June 1963) was an English actress whose film career spanned over 40 years from the silent era through to her death. Sloane's career trajectory was unusual in that for most of her professional life she was essentially an anonymous bit part actress, and her best, most substantial roles did not come until relatively late in her career when she was in her 50s. Her most famous film appearance is the 1950 production ''Seven Days to Noon''. Career 1920s-1940s Born in London in 1896, Sloane's first screen credit came in a 1921 silent film ''The Door That Has No Key'' produced by Frank Hall Crane, and there were five further appearances in silents up to 1925, including 1922's ''Trapped by the Mormons'', a film which many decades later became a cult favourite with midnight film aficionados due to its unintentionally ludicrous hilarity, and received a DVD release in the US in 2006. After 1925, there would be no further film appearance for Sloane until ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
