Riwayat Hidup
Colin Clive was born to a British colonel and his wife in St.
Malo, France on 20 January 1900.
His schooling was at the Convent of the Holy Cross, Boscombe, and Stonyhurst College, in preparation for entering Sandhurst, the British royal military academy.
Unfortunately, a riding accident shattered the young man's knee and disqualified him for military service.
Clive entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, making his debut in 1919 as 'Claude' in The Eclipse.
After almost ten years of touring, he was chosen for the role of 'Stanhope' in the war play Journey's End, replacing Laurence Olivier who had another commitment.
Journey's End was Clive's beginning and his end.
Both the actor and the character were alcoholics - Clive to relieve monstrous stage fright, Stanhope to numb the agonies of war.
When Journey's End was filmed in 1929, Clive started his film career.
He made 18 films, each stylish, quirky, and highly individualistic.
Colin Clive died in Los Angeles, California on 25 June 1937, of tuberculosis worsened by chronic alcoholism.
He was 37 years old.
