Who Are Those Gals? ~ Renee Clama



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”.
