Renee Carolina Clama was born in Finalborgo, Savona,
Italy on July 4, 1910. She was a British actress who appeared, as a leading
lady, in eleven British films from the late 1920s to the early 1930s including “The
Great Game” (1930) and “Never Trouble Trouble” (1931). Many of her films were
made by Gainsborough Pictures. She married producer Maurice Ostrer in 1933 and
retired from the film industry. Ostrer was head of production at Gainsborough
Studios from 1943-46. He resigned from the studio in 1946 after a disagreement
with J. Arthur Rank who had taken over the studio and went to work in textiles.
The couple raised four children before Maurice died in
1975. Renee died in Ascot, Berkshire, England on June 30, 1990.
Her only Euro-western appearance was as Mary Ferguson in
1928’s “Adventurous Youth”.
